About the role
Our client is seeking a Compliance Officer/Specialist to establish and lead their internal risk-prevention framework in Tirana. This role operates internally as a proactive strategic partner.

- Governance & Internal Systems: Design long-term corporate compliance protocols covering employee standard operations, client data handling, labor laws, and foreign worker/expatriate management
- Scalability Support: Establish structured governance so that rapid company growth does not overload executive management or rely entirely on external legal retainers
- System Deliverables: Conduct audits of active software systems, user permissions, page functions, and internal data structures (in collaboration with external counsel) to create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Employee Training Manuals, Permission & Role Access Control Frameworks, Formalized Job Descriptions, and Data Access & Privacy Guidelines
