Booz Allen is looking for an experienced compliance leader to help shape how our compliance capability supports a business evolving across technology, government missions, partnerships, acquisitions, and new ways of delivering for customers.

As Director, Compliance, you will oversee an experienced team responsible for a portfolio of compliance and integrity programs and shape how Legal, Ethics & Compliance (LEC) identifies, assesses, and responds to compliance risk. You will advise the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer (CECO) and other leaders on complex matters, changing risks, and where action is needed.

You will also connect specialized compliance programs across LEC that sit with different leaders, creating a shared view of compliance risk and program effectiveness while preserving each program leader’s accountability and expertise. You will bring those perspectives together, challenge whether risks and issues are being addressed appropriately, and surface matters that require action across programs or leadership attention.

This role offers the opportunity to lead complex compliance work, influence decisions across the business, advise executives, and evolve our approach to compliance. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required.

What You'll Do:

• Set priorities for the Compliance capability within LEC and advance how we identify, manage, and assess compliance risk.
• Oversee a portfolio of compliance programs, including anti-corruption, third-party integrity, government contractor compliance, conflicts of interest, competition, lobbying, and related areas, with experienced program leaders providing subject-matter leadership for their programs.
• Guide and challenge compliance program leaders on complex matters, changing risks, program priorities, and issues requiring action or escalation.
• Lead the compliance risk assessment, using input from across Compliance, changes in the business and regulatory environment, investigations, audits, monitoring, and other evidence to identify changing exposure, gaps, and priorities.
• Strengthen how compliance programs are evaluated and improved, using evidence and outcomes to identify root causes, address gaps, and improve program effectiveness.
• Advise on compliance risk as the business changes, including new offerings, partnerships, acquisitions, and regulatory developments, working with Legal, business, and functional leaders to address risks early.
• Maintain a connected view across Compliance, identifying shared risks and issues, challenging whether they are being appropriately addressed, and surfacing matters requiring broader action or CECO attention.
• Advise the CECO and executive leadership and support Audit Committee engagement on compliance risk, program effectiveness, open issues and remediation, emerging risks, and priorities requiring leadership attention.

Join us. The world can't wait.
