Responsibilities

Drive the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of a comprehensive, risk-based ethics and compliance strategy—proactively identifying gaps, recommending solutions, and aligning programs to global business goals without waiting to be directed.
Lead and manage thorough, impartial investigations into allegations of non-compliance, unethical conduct, or violations of our Code of Conduct and other policies—leveraging AI tools to enhance efficiency, pattern detection, and investigative rigor, and delivering clear findings to leadership.
Take full ownership of drafting, reviewing, and continuously improving key ethics and compliance policies and procedures—including our Code of Conduct, Anti-Corruption & Anti-Bribery, Third-Party Risk Management, Sanctions, Conflicts of Interest, and Whistleblower policies—anticipating regulatory changes and proactively recommending updates before issues arise.
Design and own compliance risk assessment programs—identifying vulnerabilities before they become issues, leveraging AI-powered analytics to surface patterns and gaps, and bringing forward data-driven, actionable solutions rather than escalating problems.
Serve as a proactive thought partner and subject matter expert for the compliance team and business partners on ABAC, third-party risk, business continuity, records retention, and sanctions—consistently bringing well-reasoned recommendations and solutions to the table rather than surfacing problems without a path forward.
Drive cross-functional compliance integration by independently initiating partnerships with Legal, Finance, Technology, HR, IT, Operations, and Senior Management—embedding compliance into business processes and building AI-powered tools and self-service resources that reduce friction and manual effort across the organization.
Stay abreast of evolving laws, regulations, industry standards, and best practices relevant to ethics and compliance in the technology sector. Drive automation and AI utilization across compliance workflows, building scalable tools, automated systems, and self-service knowledge repositories that enable other departments to handle routine compliance matters independently—reducing reliance on manual administrative support and empowering the organization to self-serve.
