• Remediation & Monitoring: Design, develop, and maintain comprehensive, real-time compliance dashboards and key performance indicators. Utilize data gathered from monitoring activities to inform and prioritize ongoing compliance program enhancements.
• Training & Culture: Develop and update annual compliance training modules, informed by regulatory changes, audit findings, new business lines, and employee feedback, to maintain an effective and relevant program and foster a company culture of integrity and accountability.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Proactively build, cultivate, and maintain productive, collaborative relationships with stakeholders across all functional areas, including Legal, Finance, People, Talent Engineering, and Revenue.
