Your Mission 

Join the world’s leading local delivery platform and play a defining role in strengthening our global governance foundation. As Director, Governance, Risk & Compliance, your mission is to connect strategy with execution—aligning regional and Group-level GRC capabilities into a single, high-impact operating model. Through collaboration, transparency, and smart use of data and technology, you will empower our European GRC network to deliver consistent, scalable, and future-ready governance. By building strong partnerships across Risk Assurance, Compliance, Internal Audit, and Data Privacy, you will help embed trust, resilience, and accountability into everything we do, enabling Glovo to keep growing responsibly, sustainably, and with high levels of assurance.

In the Journey You Will: 

• Engage with senior leadership to set the Tone at the Top: Drive a strong, enterprise-wide risk, compliance and controls culture through consistent executive-level communication, ensuring risk and compliance assessment is embedded in strategic decision-making, the allocation of resources and in the operational planning & execution.
• Own the European GRC Framework: Design, implement, and continuously enhance a proactive Group-level Risk, Compliance, and Internal Assurance framework across all European brands, aligned with global standards and local requirements.
• Provide the Glovo leadership teams with actionable and timely insights that you and your team have obtained by performing periodical and ad-hoc risk assessments and tests-of-effectiveness on critical process controls.
• Act as a Strategic Business Partner: Advise senior European business leaders on emerging risk exposure and relevant regulatory developments, complex compliance topics, and pragmatic risk mitigation strategies that support sustainable growth.
• Embed a Culture of Integrity, Ethics and Compliance: Lead initiatives that integrate ethical behavior, accountability, and proactive compliance into everyday business practices across the region.
• Drive Operational Excellence: Evaluate, select, and roll out GRC technology solutions to automate and streamline compliance and assurance processes, improving efficiency, consistency, and visibility.
• Build Trusted Stakeholder Relationships: Establish strong, transparent partnerships with local management, Group leadership, and regulators, ensuring alignment and credibility across all GRC matters.
• Lead and Grow the GRC Organization: Recruit, lead, coach, and develop a high-performing, international GRC team with clear ownership and accountability for European markets.
