Compliance Manager – Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing

📍 Wolverhampton | 💰 £40,000

Are you an experienced Compliance professional looking to take ownership of a critical function within a growing defence and aerospace environment? We’re seeking a Compliance Manager to lead and strengthen our compliance framework, ensuring we meet all customer, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

This is a key role where you’ll act as the central interface between the business, customers, and regulatory bodies.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is an exciting time to join the business. We are launching a brand-new facility in Wolverhampton, alongside significant investment in state-of-the-art machinery and ongoing development.

You’ll play a key role in shaping compliance standards from the ground up in a modern, forward-thinking environment.

The Role

As Compliance Manager, you will ensure the organisation operates in full compliance with all relevant regulations, customer requirements, and industry standards, including AS9100 and defence frameworks.

You’ll take ownership of export controls, customer compliance, and data handling standards—proactively identifying risks and implementing effective controls.

Key Responsibilities

* Ensure the business understands and meets all compliance obligations

* Act as the main point of contact for customers and regulatory bodies

* Lead export control activities in line with legislation

* Develop and maintain compliance policies, procedures, and controls

* Support customer audits and compliance activities (e.g. JOSCAR, Cyber/IT, REACH, Conflict Minerals)

* Ensure secure handling of Official Sensitive (OS) data

* Support BPSS and personnel vetting requirements alongside HR

* Monitor, report, and escalate compliance risks where necessary

* Deliver internal training on compliance and regulatory requirements

* Drive continuous improvement across compliance systems and processes

About You

You’re a proactive and detail-focused compliance professional who is confident working in a regulated environment and translating complex requirements into clear, actionable guidance.

Essential Experience

* 5+ years in a Compliance Management role

* Defence sector experience, including DEFCON frameworks

* Strong knowledge of AS9100 and aerospace standards

* Proven experience managing export controls

* Experience developing and implementing compliance frameworks

* Strong understanding of data handling and information security

Desirable

* Experience within a machining or manufacturing environment

* Experience managing Official Sensitive (OS) data

* Security clearance (or eligibility to obtain it)

Key Skills

* Leadership and ability to influence stakeholders

* Strong communication across all levels

* High attention to detail and quality focus

* Results-driven with a continuous improvement mindset

* Collaborative and team-oriented

Why Apply?

* Salary of £40,000

* Be part of a major site expansion and investment programme

* Opportunity to shape compliance within a brand-new facility

* Work with modern equipment and evolving processes

* Engage with key customers and regulatory bodies in a high-impact industry

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
