Full Job Posting
Job Purpose
- Lead the organization's legislative and legal compliance agenda, setting the strategic direction for how the organization understands, interprets, and meets its obligations under applicable laws, regulations, and legislative frameworks.
Legislative Strategy and Policy Governance
- Set the strategic direction for legislative interpretation and compliance, ensuring the organization anticipates rather than reacts to changes in laws, acts, regulations, and frameworks affecting its operations.
- Own the organization's legal policy framework end to end — directing the development, review, and continuous evolution of internal policies and procedures so they stay ahead of legislative, regulatory, and industry shifts.
- Serve as the trusted senior advisor to executive leadership on the strategic implications of new or amended legislation, translating legal complexity into clear, decision ready guidance.
- Cultivate and steward high level relationships with government agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal institutions.
Compliance Governance and Legal Oversight
- Design and own the organization's accountability and compliance governance frameworks, defining how legislative responsibilities are assigned, embedded, and upheld across the enterprise.
- Partner with executive and senior leadership to ensure legislative and regulatory obligations are built into organizational strategy, structures, and key decision making.
- Direct the organization's program of legislative reviews, compliance audits, and gap analyses, setting the standards and priorities and ensuring corrective actions are seen through to resolution.
- Own the assessment and mitigation of legal risk arising from non compliance, defining the organization's approach to risk tolerance and leading the strategies that protect it.
- Provide senior legal leadership across cross functional and enterprise level initiatives.
- Represent the organization in high stakes legal discussions, negotiations, and consultations with external stakeholders.
Compliance Culture and Capability Building
- Define and sponsor the organization's strategy for building legal and compliance awareness, ensuring education programs are purposeful, prioritized, and reaching the right audiences at every level.
- Champion a culture of compliance and legal accountability from leadership down.
- Guide and mentor team members and colleagues, building the collective legal and compliance capability of the function.
- Oversee the creation of clear, accessible resources and materials that keep legal and compliance knowledge alive and embedded in day to day practice.
Risk Management and Executive Reporting
- Own the identification and management of enterprise level legal risk tied to legislative compliance, leading risk assessments and the mitigation strategies that flow from them.
- Deliver insightful, data driven reporting on compliance performance to executive leadership and relevant governance forums.
- Ensure the integrity and traceability of the organization's legal record — contracts, agreements, audits, and corrective actions.
- Establish the framework for periodic evaluation of policies, controls, and accountability mechanisms.
- Lead impact assessments of compliance initiatives, evaluating their real effectiveness against organizational objectives and legal requirements.
Our Commitment
- At Team Saudi, we care deeply about creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for our athletes and employees. We welcome applicants who demonstrate integrity, professionalism, and a commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace where everyone is protected, valued, and given
