Compliance Geofencing Analyst

About the role

This role focuses on conducting IP geolocation investigations, assessing potential risks, and documenting findings to meet audit and compliance standards. The analyst will be responsible for identifying and escalating complex or high-risk cases, ensuring all decisions and evidence are accurately recorded within the case management system. The work involves maintaining quality and accuracy in all case documentation.

A key part of this position involves contributing to ongoing governance, quality assurance, and operational improvements to strengthen geofencing controls.

Success in this role means consistently delivering high-quality, accurate investigations and documentation, effectively managing competing priorities, and proactively identifying areas for improvement. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong analytical and investigative skills, applying risk-based decision-making rather than blanket rules, and communicating complex findings clearly and professionally.
