What you will do:
You will play a critical role in our continued work to develop and build a world-class compliance function. You will be responsible for overseeing the full breadth of compliance activities for the region; you will be responsible for how we deliver comprehensive support to regions to facilitate a strong culture of compliance within our global firm.
You will own and drive compliance matters in your region, ensuring a holistic delivery of compliance programs across the full breadth of topics (e.g. regulatory, client service compliance, ethics etc.).
You will develop an operating model for engaged regional stakeholders that will ultimately enable a culture of compliance that is 1) fully integrated with the Compliance function and 2) embedded within regional agendas.
You will collaborate closely, in a peer-like fashion, with ethics & compliance colleagues, legal and risk functions to ensure compliance activities against risk policies are effectively implemented within regions; work with broader regional leadership (firm functions, office/cell leadership) to engage at a holistic level.
You will serve as a sound advisor to Head of Geographic Compliance on trends and emerging needs from the regions, ensuring an integrated view of location-specific needs.
