Senior Vice President - London, United Kingdom - Flo Health

Description

Legal and Compliance are partners across the whole business here at Flo


They watch over everything:
Flo's privacy programme, compliance with regulatory obligations, contract management, IP enforcement... you name it.

The team's divided into three groups - Privacy & Data Protection, Regulatory & Compliance, and Legal Services, each managing its own area.

Flo's enjoyed strong growth in the last few years having more than doubled in headcount and valuation ($340M - circa.

$800M As we continue to expand our products and services towards a public exit, we need to ensure that the entirety of our legal system is not only as it should be, but is set up for scalable growth.
