Compliance Assurance & Ethics Analyst

We're looking to recruit a Compliance Assurance & Ethics Analyst to join our Routewide team based in Milton Keynes. This role requires working in the office three days a week, with occasional travel to our site offices so a valid driving licence is essential for this role.

In this role, you will oversee and manage the ethics & compliance investigation process, from initial referral or whistleblowing case to resolution. This includes case allocation, case recording, evidence collection, witness interviews, case review, and proposed closure, while ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory, and internal standards. You will conduct detailed investigative analysis by reviewing records, system logs, transactional data, and other evidence to detect anomalies, red flags, and fraud indicators. Provide clear and well-supported recommendations regarding offences, breaches, or findings.

As a Compliance Assurance and Ethics Analyst you will oversee the administration and coordination of concerns raised through various Speak Up sources, including internal and external reporting platforms. Ensure all reports are accurately logged, assessed, categorised, and appropriately routed, maintaining oversight from submission to closure. You will produce comprehensive investigation reports and maintain accurate case records, consolidating findings into actionable insights. Monitor caseload performance and ensure reporting aligns with organisational goals and deadlines.

In addition, you will collaborate with key stakeholders, including the legal counsel, the client’s Counter Fraud & Investigations team, HR, Industrial Relations, and Health & Safety teams, to ensure seamless investigation processes and provide support where required. You will ensure adherence to industry regulations, legal requirements, and internal policies, aligning all investigative practices with ethical and regulatory standards. You will assist with awareness campaigns, briefings, and training initiatives to promote understanding of reporting channels, encourage early intervention, and foster a positive Speak Up culture across the Joint Venture.
