- Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, Product, Engineering, and Policy teams to embed controls into business processes.
- Assess control effectiveness and identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
- Translate complex regulatory or operational requirements into clear, actionable control frameworks.
- Ensure controls enable business agility and scalability without slowing execution.
- Support audits, regulatory inquiries, and internal assessments as needed.
- Develop documentation, policies, and procedures that clearly articulate control expectations.
- Provide guidance and education to stakeholders on control design, compliance requirements, and risk mitigation.
