• Identifying and addressing risks of non-compliance with regulation and/or Experian policies that may arise from product or business change initiatives relevant to the Bulgaria market;

• Working closely with the platform supplier to enlist appropriate technical support for the project, monitor their performance vs SLA and resolve issues or delays where they arise

• Consulting both business stakeholders ('1st Line of Defence') and Compliance colleagues in relevant markets to understand their specific requirements for the platform and tailor its configuration where appropriate
• Configuring, preparing and testing the platform to support each stage of the rollout
• Developing and delivering training to local users of the platform and supporting its adoption
• Preparing and delivering regular project status updates to relevant colleagues in the 1st Line of Defence and senior Regional and Global Compliance leadership
• Partnering with key stakeholders in both the 1st and 2nd Lines of Defence (e.g., IT, Data Office, Risk and Legal colleagues) as needed to ensure risks to successful project delivery and/or successful adoption of the platform are identified, assessed and mitigated.
