Sr Governance and Compliance Analyst

We are growing and looking for experienced compliance and audit professionals who also embrace technology-driven ways of working. In this hybrid role, you will lead control testing and audit programs while actively contributing to the automation and AI-enabled optimization of compliance workflows. You will partner with control owners, external auditors, and the Automation & AI team to improve how we test, evidence, and report on the effectiveness of controls across Thomson Reuters' multi-framework compliance portfolio.

About the role

Key Responsibilities:

• Assess, challenge, and test the design and operational effectiveness of controls using TR’s control framework by working collaboratively with control owners and stakeholders to improve the control testing process, including defining re-test cycles and evidence expected.
• Execute a testing plan by communicating requirements to control owners, reviewing evidence submitted, agreeing on deficiencies found and finalizing the next steps in meeting control requirements.
• Oversee and act as a liaison for both external and internal audits; identify procedures and practices that are not compliant with industry frameworks.
• Recommend and support stakeholders making changes to address non-compliance issues, and compile reports on audit results to present to managers & supervisors.
• Work closely with other teams like ERM, Finance, business and application owners, third party or contractors supporting processes to report and track remediation plans for any control deficiencies identified.
• Ensure awareness about security risks, best practices and policy/standard requirements are essential to ensure compliance.

Automation & AI-Enabled Compliance (~35%)

• Contribute to the implementation and continuous improvement of automated compliance controls by working with the Automation & AI team, including evidence collection, validation, and reporting capabilities, to optimize workflows.
• Collaborate with internal assessors to identify automation opportunities and support the design and deployment of AI-assisted solutions, covering automated evidence gathering, validation and classification, workflow notifications, and preliminary control effectiveness ratings.
• Maintain documentation of automation workflows, logic, and validation processes to ensure transparency and auditability; stay current with emerging technologies in controls automation and AI to inform team strategy and innovation.
