Register & Compliance Specialist

Full Time / Fixed Term - 6 months, The Website Register & Compliance Specialist is a focused, 6-month contract role responsible for establishing, designing, and launching the organisation's centralised website asset register and digital web footprint governance process. Reporting to the Data Governance Lead, this role serves as the project lead to ensure all corporate web properties are identified, thoroughly documented, and brought into legal and technical compliance. Operating on a "hub and spoke" model, you will build the strategic centre-writing the initial frameworks, designing the registration workflows, and establishing compliance playbooks-while engaging and up-skilling local business units to ensure they can maintain operational compliance once the contract concludes.,

• Framework Establishment: Design and implement the central oversight framework for all websites owned or managed by the organisation in accordance with legal, technical, and company requirements.
• Enhance the Centralised Website Register: Map out, audit, and build a dynamic, scalable inventory of all web assets, documenting critical information such as business owners, hosting locations, active/inactive status, and purpose.
• CMP Audit & Integration: Review and support the auditing and standardised implementation of Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) and cookie banners across discovered sites.
• Process Design & Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with Brand Protection (Domains Registry), Cyber Security, Technology, and Data Privacy to design, develop, and embed a smooth, permanent operational process for joined up Domain and Website asset management.
• Pre-Deployment Workflow: Define and embed a clear compliance gatekeeping check for internal business units and marketing teams to ensure future web assets, third-party tags, and tracking scripts undergo compliance checks prior to deployment.
• Policy and Standards: Support the embedding of website compliance standards, asset registries, and digital governance playbooks for BAU (Business As Usual) adoption.
• Training & Handover: Educate key stakeholders and hand over documentation to permanent colleagues to ensure long-term tracking compliance.

• Hands-on experience with website auditing tools, Consent Management Platforms (e.g., OneTrust, Cookiebot), and digital asset register setups.
• Exceptional ability to influence and drive operational change quickly across diverse teams (marketing, IT, product owners) without direct line management authority.

• Familiarity with project management and ticketing tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence) to map workflows and compliance intake requests.
