• Conduct process, documentation, candidate-file and CRM/ATS compliance audits across recruitment divisions.
• Independently audit candidate credentialing, consent, mandatory documentation, professional registration and pre-commencement/ongoing compliance controls.
• Maintain Medfuture’s controlled documentation and archive management framework.
• Manage the contract & agreement register, including client agreements, supplier contracts, NDAs, approved templates, renewals and expiries.
• Maintain statutory, regulatory, licence and compliance registers for relevant Australian and New Zealand operations.
• Audit CRM/ATS data integrity, mandatory fields, candidate consent, submissions, placements, compliance status and supporting evidence.
• Maintain policy and SOP governance, version control and scheduled reviews.
• Manage compliance complaints, incidents, breaches, investigations and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).
• Coordinate internal administration of IR/ER matters, disputes and litigation with management and external legal advisers where required.
• Monitor privacy, information-handling, data-breach and retention controls.
• Maintain insurance, legal/compliance risk and regulatory-change registers.
• Operate Medfuture’s consolidated compliance calendar covering critical renewals, expiries and regulatory deadlines.
• Escalate material compliance failures and legal risks directly to the CEO.
• Prepare weekly, monthly and quarterly legal, risk, audit & compliance reports and executive dashboards.

Requirements

We are seeking a professional with strong experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Strong experience from ISO 9001:2015 QMS.
• Compliance | internal audit | legal administration | governance | risk management | regulatory compliance.
• A bachelor’s degree in law, business, governance, risk, compliance, human resources or a related discipline is preferred.
• Experience within healthcare, recruitment, professional services or another highly regulated environment will be highly regarded.
• The successful candidate must demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, professional judgement, confidentiality, investigative ability, strong written English, report-writing capability and confidence in independently challenging process failures.
• Experience auditing CRM/ATS or other enterprise systems will be advantageous.
• You are someone with proficiency in all 3 modes of English proficiency since your service will be targeted to Australia & New Zealand.
• You are someone having legal / or compliance background.
• You must be comfortable working independently and reporting directly to senior management.
• You should be someone who does not simply identify that a document is missing—you determine why the control failed, assess the risk, establish corrective action, obtain evidence, verify remediation and prevent recurrence.
• You will be expected to maintain high professional standards while working with teams supporting two regulated healthcare markets.

About the company
