Securing a networked organisation, legally and institutionally

The charity does not steer alone: it belongs to a network of partner entities, with national statutory bodies, overlapping mandates and compliance duties that keep growing heavier: data protection, anti-money laundering, internal control. In that context, the governance and legal affairs function becomes the point of balance between the executive, the volunteer bodies and the wider network.

Lead legal and institutional compliance across the life of the charity, secure the statutory and governance relationships with the entities in the network, build internal legal tools and reference frameworks. Guarantee a robust internal control and risk management framework, while helping teams grow their own legal autonomy rather than centralising everything.

Solid experience of complex environments and networked organisations, recognised legal and compliance expertise, and a real ability to bring people together without a direct reporting line over them. Discretion and rigour count here as much as strategic vision.

You are at ease in networked organisations, where authority is built by persuasion rather than by title. You know how to secure without blocking. Sensitive files find their way to you naturally.
