Role Overview

The Compliance Manager, CMP & GRC is responsible for leading Cboe's Compliance Monitoring Program (“CMP”), implementing risk-based compliance control testing and monitoring, driving program enhancements, and supporting alignment with Cboe's governance, risk, and compliance (“GRC”) initiative. You’ll design and deliver CMP initiatives that enable effective management of compliance risk, strengthen the Three Lines model, and support development of strong controls with mapping to policies and procedures and regulatory requirements.

• Identify opportunities to continue the growth of the CRA program, transforming from point-in-time risk assessments to ongoing risk monitoring.
• Monitor and review relevant laws, rules, regulations, and regulatory enforcement actions to identify new and changing compliance requirements or emerging compliance risk.

Tooling, Metrics, & Reporting

• Guide enhancements to the GRC tool to support CMP/CRA requirements, workflows, and reporting in partnership with GRC project team and external consultants.
• Develop dashboards and reporting mechanisms that provide leadership with visibility into compliance issues and remediation, emerging compliance risks, and changes in compliance posture.
• Track, analyze, and report on CMP/CRA status and progress, issues identified, overall compliance health, and impact/effectiveness of the CMP.

Documentation & Other Duties

• Support training and change management for Compliance team associates and First Line risk/control owners as new CMP, CRA, and GRC processes are rolled out.
• Support development of strong controls with mapping to policies and procedures and regulatory requirements.
• Develop and maintain CMP-related policies, procedures, and job aids.
• Independently plan and execute project work within established timeframes, escalating risks, dependencies, and resourcing needs to management as needed.
