About the role:

Reporting directly to the Chief Compliance Officer, this individual contributor role supports the legal accuracy, precision, and regulatory credibility of Learning Pool’s off-the-shelf (OTS) compliance course library and related client-facing materials.

This role sits at the intersection of law, compliance, and learning. The Compliance Counsel is responsible for tracking and interpreting laws and regulations that Learning Pool must adhere to as a company, as well as those that underpin its OTS compliance courses. The position focuses on regulatory interpretation and educational guidance—not the provision of legal advice to customers—and serves as a trusted internal resource across Legal, Revenue, Learning Design, and Product.

Day to day, this role blends regulatory research, careful review, and close collaboration—helping teams move forward with confidence that compliance content is accurate, current, and grounded in real-world regulatory expectations.

What you will be doing 

Learning Pool approaches compliance as a practical, people-centred discipline—focused on clarity, accuracy, and helping organizations do the right thing in complex situations.

This position is well suited for someone who thrives in a cross-functional environment, is detail-oriented, and enjoys translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, accurate, and practical learning content for global organizations.

In this individual contributor role, you will:

• Monitor and interpret evolving laws, regulations, enforcement trends, and guidance relevant to corporate ethics and compliance programs, with a U.S.-centric focus and global awareness

• Track regulatory requirements at all jurisdictional levels (e.g., federal, state, local, and international) that impact Learning Pool and its OTS compliance course library

• Ensure the ongoing legal accuracy and precision of the OTS compliance course library through review, validation, and updates

• Serve as the legal subject matter expert for OTS compliance courses from initial scoping through final legal review

• Provide regulatory interpretation to internal teams, without providing legal advice to customers

Who we are looking for 

The successful candidate will demonstrate: 

• Legal & Compliance Expertise: You will hold a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree, with a Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP) qualification or similar preferred.
• Regulatory Experience: You will bring a minimum of five years’ experience in compliance, regulatory, or related legal roles, ideally within an in-house, corporate, or regulated-industry environment.
• Regulatory Interpretation: You will have a strong ability to read, interpret, and apply laws, regulations, and regulatory guidance accurately and pragmatically.
• Content Translation: You will have demonstrated experience translating complex legal and regulatory requirements into clear, accurate, and educational content for diverse audiences.
• Written Communication: You will be an excellent writer, with a clear, concise, and precise communication style.
• Organisation & Attention to Detail: You will be highly detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement: You will be an effective collaborator, comfortable working with both legal and non-legal stakeholders across the organisation.
