Join us to create a career worth celebrating.

About the Function:

We're legal experts, understanding the complex laws that surround our business and our much-loved brands. Our Legal team are responsible for a range of legal challenges, from Corporate and Intellectual Property to Merger & Acquisitions and Compliance.

We're always seeking new and creative ways to take on the evolving challenges that today's commercial world presents.

About the role:

The Business Integrity Programme is an internal element of Diageo's overall governance and risk management activity. The programme is focused on bringing to life our overall performance ambition and must also meet, at a minimum, the best practice standards benchmarked against UK, US and local legislation. This includes maintaining and embedding our Code of Business Conduct (the Code) and an appropriate framework of policies and standards that support the Code; developing appropriate principles-based engagement and ensuring delivery of training to support the application of the Code and policies; investigating and responding to potential breaches of the Code and policies; assessing how to minimise compliance risks; and ensuring employees are aware of and feel comfortable using our SpeakUp whistleblowing channels.

Ethical behaviour ('doing business the right way') is increasingly synonymous with a company's overall sustainability, which makes it an essential component of corporate governance. A breakdown or reduction in focus on this component could have serious legal, financial and/or reputational consequences for Diageo.
