SpeakUp Hotline Operations:

Own the day-to-day running of the Nscale SpeakUp hotline and the case management platform, including configuration, intake channels and language coverage, user access,

triage and communications.

Manage the relationship with the platform provider, acting as the main contact, managing contract obligations and conditions, renewals and budget, and holding the provider to agreed service levels.

Run regular service reviews with the provider, escalate and resolve issues, and work with internal teams when necessary.

Investigations and Case Management:

Lead Compliance-owned investigations and coordinate those led by other teams.

Prepare investigation plans, run interviews with reporters, witnesses and subjects, gather and analyse evidence, and write investigation outcome reports and recommendations.

Own user access and permissions, audit trails, confidentiality controls and retention rules, and work with Information Security and Data Privacy so the system stays secure and audit-ready.

Refine programme metrics and maintain dashboards leadership can use on demand.

Produce SpeakUp reports, covering key metrics, with figures reconciled to the system before release.

Spot emerging risks, hotspots and patterns by team, region or issue type, and raise them before they grow.

Turn case outcomes into lessons learned, share anonymised case studies and themes with the business, and feed insights into policy updates, training and control improvements.

Improve case categorisation and data quality so trends in culture and controls are visible early.
