• Evaluate incoming work for compliance risk signals (e.g., data sensitivity, copyright exposure, privacy concerns); triage and prioritize requests for Legal based on risk, scope, and delivery timelines.
• Partner with Engagement Management to translate and execute risk mitigation at both the project and customer level, gather operational input to develop and prioritize systematic compliance controls, and train/educate Ops stakeholders on common or emerging compliance risks.
• Ensure Legal receives clear, structured, and actionable context; coordinate reviewers across Legal and internal teams to support SLA adherence.
• Identify workflow friction points and contribute to improving processes, templates, and prioritization frameworks.
• Maintain dashboards to track throughput, bottlenecks, SLAs, and risk trends.

Risk Mitigation Solutions & Monitoring

• Support Engineering and Ops in developing and implementing scalable risk mitigation solutions.
• Operationalize solutions into repeatable workflows aligned with delivery processes.
• Monitor adoption and effectiveness; elevate gaps or risks as needed.

Customer Audit Support

• Support audit readiness activities including evidence collection and documentation under the direction of the Customer Compliance Manager.
• Assist in preparing audit packages and tracking progress toward readiness milestones.
• Support audit remediation efforts and follow-through.

Access Control & Operational Hygiene

• Manage day-to-day access governance across systems and sensitive datasets (including Redash and internal/external Google Groups).
• Execute quarterly access reviews and cleanup processes in alignment with policies set by the Customer Compliance Manager.
• Enforce and standardize permissions and operational controls; flag anomalies for escalation.

Qualifications

Required

• 1-3 years of experience in operations, program management, compliance, or GenAI/technical delivery environments.

Nice to Have

• Experience in GenAI, Trust & Safety, or data compliance environments.
• Familiarity with legal intake processes or working directly with Legal teams.
