We seek a scrappy, start-up minded operator who embeds compliance into daily workflows. Someone who's in the weeds on contracts everyday, translating compliance into execution quickly, and has the natural drive to be the operational glue between executive team, legal counsel, contracts, and the business/sales — embedding compliance into real deals under pressure. Reporting to the General Counsel and partnering closely with our Contracts Manager, this is a contract-heavy compliance role that's embedded in revenue flow and deal closing, with the longer term goal of informing a fully built-out compliance function. This role will drive corporate compliance initiatives — including data privacy, export controls, anti-bribery regulations, and international trade compliance — while supporting scalable, audit-ready business operations across multiple jurisdictions.

Requirements

5–10 years of experience managing compliance programs in regulated industries (e.g., defense, technology, or data services).
Strong working knowledge of key compliance domains: anti-corruption, sanctions, export controls, data privacy, and corporate ethics.
Demonstrated ability to assess and mitigate risk in global operations, with experience supporting international subsidiaries or vendor ecosystems.
Proven success collaborating with cross-functional teams, including contracts, legal, HR, and operations.
Experience developing policies, conducting investigations, and managing compliance training programs.
Proficiency in compliance management tools and reporting systems.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to build a culture of compliance across all levels of the organization.
High emotional intelligence and ability to work in a high-visibility, high-impact environment.
