Lead Compliance Counsel

Role Overview As our Compliance Counsel Lead, you will be responsible for building, scaling, and managing a comprehensive global compliance program.

Serve as a subject matter expert and strategic advisor to cross-functional business teams on compliance risks associated with global business activities, commercial expansion, and new products. Conduct enterprise-wide compliance risk assessments and audits to identify, evaluate, and mitigate compliance risks, and translate findings into actionable remediation plans. Draft, maintain, and operationalize compliance-related policies, procedures, and internal controls across multiple jurisdictions, and develop and deliver training programs and communications strategies to foster a strong culture of compliance. Support the review and negotiation of compliance-related provisions in commercial and vendor contracts, complete associated compliance questionnaires and certifications, and identify opportunities to streamline and standardize contracting and diligence processes to improve efficiency. Monitor and analyze changes in the global regulatory landscape — including U.S. and non-U.S. sanctions regimes, anti-corruption laws, and other applicable frameworks — and oversee regulatory outreach, customer-facing compliance communications, and responses to third-party due diligence questionnaires and vendor compliance certifications.
