About The Role

About Origina

Origina is a rapidly growing global challenger technology company on a mission to stop unnecessary technology change by helping enterprises to extend, protect and enhance their software assets. We believe organisations should be free to run their systems for as long as they choose - without being pushed into costly, unwanted upgrades that don’t align with their strategy, so we step in to provide an alternative from the original vendor.

We’re scaling fast, with a clear path to €0.5 billion in the next five years, and expanding our presence across Europe, the US, and Australia. As a leading force in independent enterprise software support, we help the world’s largest organisations take back control of their technology roadmap and unlock genuine commercial freedom.

If you’re energised by growth, excited by change, and motivated to help customers challenge long-standing industry norms, this is the team to join. At Origina, you’ll be part of a bold, fast-moving global business where your impact will be felt immediately.

Role Purpose

We are looking for a commercially minded, hands-on Risk & Compliance Associate to support and help strengthen Origina’s risk and compliance framework. This is a visible role with real scope to develop, contribute and make a practical impact, working closely with senior leadership to embed good governance, clear accountability and effective controls across the business. The role will suit someone who enjoys combining business partnering, structured follow-through and practical delivery, while continuing to build their experience in a broad risk and compliance environment.

The successful candidate will work across enterprise risk, regulatory compliance, privacy, financial crime, policy governance, internal controls, incident response and remediation activity, partnering with stakeholders across the organisation and operating with guidance from senior colleagues where appropriate. It is a broad and hands-on opportunity for someone ready to take responsibility for meaningful work: maintaining risk registers, drafting and updating policies, preparing reporting, coordinating reviews, following up actions and helping drive day-to-day execution. This is not a purely advisory role; it requires someone who is happy to get into the detail, learn quickly and follow through.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Risk Management

Support the day-to-day operation of the company’s risk management framework, including risk identification, assessment, monitoring, reporting and remediation follow-through. Maintain risk registers, action logs and supporting records, and help ensure risk information remains clear, current and useful for decision-making. The role requires practical support to the business in managing risk, combined with the ability to apply structure, good judgement and appropriate challenge.

Regulatory & Compliance Oversight

Track relevant regulatory developments and compliance obligations, assess potential business impact and support implementation of required changes. Help ensure the organisation maintains practical, proportionate and effective compliance arrangements across key areas such as privacy, financial crime, codes of conduct, whistleblowing and other non-financial risk topics. This includes supporting stakeholders with practical guidance and helping to put workable controls, processes and follow-up actions in place.

Governance & Reporting

Prepare clear, accurate and decision-useful reporting for senior management, committees and the Board, including risk themes, breaches, incidents, conduct matters, actions and remediation progress. Support governance forums through paper preparation, action tracking and maintenance of appropriate records and compliance documentation. The role requires someone who can identify what needs attention, coordinate inputs, draft clearly and help move actions through to closure.

Business Partnering and Advisory

Partner with stakeholders across the business to provide practical, commercially aware risk and compliance support on new initiatives, operational change, third-party arrangements, customer commitments and internal issues. Support the identification, review and coordination of customer-driven requirements, including areas identified by customers as needing compliance by Origina through contracts, procurement processes, audits, onboarding requests or other customer assurance activity. Help ensure those commitments are understood, appropriately owned, tracked and implemented in practice, while also helping identify control gaps, policy weaknesses and conduct or compliance risks and support workable improvements.

Policy & Control Frameworks

Maintain and improve internal policies, standards, codes of conduct and related procedures, including review cycles, approvals, publication and exception management. Support internal control reviews, compliance monitoring and remediation activity to help ensure frameworks remain effective, proportionate and aligned to business needs. The role offers the opportunity to contribute to framework design while also taking responsibility for the practical administration and day-to-day upkeep that keeps those frameworks operating effectively.

Incidents & Investigations

Support the management of incidents, breaches, complaints and protected disclosures by coordinating reviews, documenting outcomes, escalating issues appropriately and tracking actions through to closure. Help promote strong risk and compliance behaviours through communication, challenge and awareness activity, including support for policy and code of conduct compliance. This includes practical ownership of follow-up, record keeping and coordination, not simply high-level oversight.

About You

You will bring experience in risk, compliance, governance, privacy, financial crime, legal or internal controls, together with sound judgement, curiosity and a practical approach. You will be comfortable working with senior stakeholders, taking ownership of important work and asking the right questions where guidance or alignment is needed. You will enjoy a role that combines support and enablement with appropriate oversight, challenge and disciplined follow-through.

You will also have

Experience in a risk, compliance, governance, privacy, financial crime, legal or control-focused role, with exposure to business support, oversight or internal governance activities
Good working knowledge of enterprise risk management, compliance frameworks, internal controls, policy governance and incident handling, together with the ability to apply that knowledge practically
Experience maintaining risk registers, action logs or similar records, and preparing reporting, updates or papers for management or governance forums

A highly organised, delivery-focused approach and willingness to take ownership of policy, control and compliance matters from issue identification through to closure, including the detail and administration needed to keep things moving
