Navigating regulations across sectors has never been more complex. Companies operating in highly regulated industries need leaders who can anticipate policy changes, safeguard compliance and ensure operational resilience. We source fractional regulatory affairs recruitment who can quickly step in, provide independent oversight, and deliver results.

Our expertise spans multiple practices, from corporate affairs recruitment and public affairs recruitment to policy and government relations recruitment. This breadth allows us to place leaders who understand both the regulatory environment and the communications required to engage stakeholders effectively.

What we do in regulatory affairs recruitment

We connect leading companies with experienced regulatory professionals who can advise on compliance, risk management and evolving policy frameworks. Our fractional model ensures you can scale resources without long-term headcount commitments.

Fractional regulatory affairs recruitment roles we typically hire

Hanson Search recruits senior fractional leaders, including:

  • Chief Regulatory Officers
  • Heads of Compliance and Risk
  • Regulatory Policy Advisors
  • Directors of Governance and Assurance

We also support clients seeking hybrid expertise across sustainability and ESG recruitment, recognising that regulation, risk and corporate responsibility are increasingly interlinked.

We combine rigorous methodology with deep market insights to deliver tailored recommendations that align with both technical requirements and organisational culture.
