Job Description
Who you are:
You understand that effective governance and compliance are not about checking boxes. They are about helping the business manage risk, build trust, and achieve its objectives with confidence.
You are comfortable navigating complex regulatory requirements, IT controls, audits, and risk frameworks, but you never lose sight of the people and business processes behind them. You know how to translate technical and compliance concepts into practical actions that stakeholders can understand and adopt.
You are a proactive problem solver who enjoys identifying risks before they become issues, strengthening control environments, and helping teams continuously improve. Whether you are evaluating the effectiveness of a SOX control, conducting a risk assessment, overseeing governance workflows, or working with audit partners, you bring a thoughtful, collaborative approach.
You enjoy partnering across IT, Security, Finance, Legal, Privacy, and business teams to create compliance programs that are effective, sustainable, and aligned with business priorities.

- Fostering a culture of inclusion where employees feel seen, heard, and valued, and living it out every day.
- Empowering you to make a meaningful impact through your work and our ongoing commitment to innovation, integrity, and continuous improvement.

- Managing workflows within Governance, Risk, and Compliance platforms supporting controls, risk, privacy, compliance, and audit activities.
