About the role:
As the Risk & Compliance Manager, you will play a pivotal role in advancing Atlas' Health & Safety (H&S) program across 160+ Atlas countries. You will work closely with the Director of Risk & Compliance to design and implement a global occupational health & safety (OHS) program from the ground up, tailored to the diverse industries and risk profiles of Atlas' EOR client base. As a key member of the Risk & Compliance team, you will manage enterprise-wide H&S risk mitigation projects and lead the development and localization of H&S corporate policy.
Key Responsibilities:
- Compliance & Regulatory Monitoring – Monitor, interpret, and implement OHS legislation and standards across jurisdictions, ensuring Atlas meets or exceeds local regulatory requirements. Educate internal departments on obligations and build cross-functional relationships to embed compliance.
- Hazard & Risk Assessment – Conduct workplace hazard identification and risk assessments across varied client industries and work environments (office, remote, field, industrial), and coordinate mitigation efforts with relevant departments for both existing operations and new business opportunities.
- Sales Partnership for New Industries – Partner with Sales to assess H&S risk and readiness when Atlas expands into new industries or client verticals, providing input on deal feasibility, risk tiering, and any additional due diligence or safety controls needed before onboarding.
- Research & Regulatory Intelligence – Lead the research component of the H&S program, maintaining a database of country-specific OHS rules, regulations, and reporting requirements.
- Incident Management & Investigation – Manage rollout of the H&S incident management module in Atlas' Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) tool; support incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and corrective action tracking. Train Operations teams on utilization and incident recording.
- Safety Training & Awareness – Support the design and delivery of OHS training programs (e.g., workplace safety, ergonomics, emergency response) for employees and client-facing teams, in collaboration with internal stakeholders and external vendors.
- Anti-Harassment & Psychosocial Safety – Ensure H&S research and policy incorporate local anti-harassment and psychosocial risk requirements; support development of localized policies.
- Policies, SOPs & Frameworks – Develop and maintain OHS policies, procedures, and frameworks aligned with international safety standards (e.g., ISO 45001) and industry best practice.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration – Partner with HR/HRSD, Operations, Legal & Compliance, and Data Privacy to ensure H&S requirements are understood and operationalized globally.
- Enterprise Risk Projects – Manage enterprise-wide H&S risk mitigation projects as assigned.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in occupational health & safety, environmental health & safety, or a related field.
- 5+ years of progressive experience in occupational health & safety, ideally spanning multiple industries or a multi-site/multi-country environment.
- Working knowledge of international OHS standards and frameworks (e.g., ISO 45001) and hazard/risk assessment methodologies.
- Demonstrated ability to adapt safety practices across diverse industries and work settings, rather than a single-sector specialization.
- Excellent project management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong attention to detail in maintaining thorough policies, plans, and procedures.
- Leadership presence and capability to direct teams under pressure during an H&S incident.
