- Own key compliance and governance activities, including the annual policy review, Policy Committee, conflicts of interest and gift registries, and mandatory compliance training.
- Work with Procurement and business owners to strengthen third-party risk management, including due diligence, ongoing assurance, remediation, supplier oversight and reporting to senior leadership.
What We’re Looking For
- 5–10 years’ experience across risk management, compliance, governance and/or audit.
- Demonstrated experience managing complex projects and delivering effectively across multiple stakeholders and business functions.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex risk concepts clearly and effectively.
- Ability to collaborate successfully with stakeholders at different levels across regions and functions.
