Responsibilities:

This role will act as a leader as business partner, to proactively advise on key compliance risks, provide training and communication to ensure that the region complies with Company’s FCPA policies and procedures, code of conduct, global & local policies, laws & regulations and Company’s strong commitment to ethics & compliance.

The supervisor is also expected to act as a proactive advisor to support RECSM to promote culture of ethics and compliance with relevant laws and company policies and procedures; development and implementation of the company policies and procedures and corporate’s ethics and compliance program; evaluate ethics and compliance issues/concerns within the organization; assist in special compliance projects; ensure coordination with other departments to align compliance activities; and detect and deter violations of laws and applicable regulations, FCPA policies and procedures, Code of Conduct as well as relevant company policies and procedures.

Risk Analysis of Third Parties Conducting detailed evaluations of third-party partners across APAC to identify ABAC and compliance risks, going beyond data collection to interpreting findings and assessing risk severity.

Assessment of Sponsorships and Donations Independently reviewing and analyzing sponsorship and donation requests—including those with government touchpoints—to identify potential red flags and ensure alignment with compliance policies.

Actionable Risk Mitigation Recommendations Developing recommendations to mitigate risks identified during third-party due diligence, sponsorship reviews, and interactions with government-linked entities. This includes advising on enhanced controls, remediation actions, or risk-based approval conditions. Conducting ongoing monitoring of transactions for policy non-compliance.
