Core Responsibilities

• Risk & Controls Architecture: Evaluate, re-engineer, and embed a comprehensive, group-wide risk management and internal controls framework across multiple international business units.
• Proactive Risk Mitigation: Anticipate operational, regulatory, and systemic risks during restructuring and business-expansion phases to design preventative control mechanisms before vulnerabilities arise.
• Tech-Driven Control Execution: Drive major risk initiatives from high-level strategy down to execution, focusing heavily on continuous monitoring, automation, data analytics, and tech-driven control solutions.
• Specialized Control Frameworks: Partner closely with legal and operations teams to design and enforce robust operational controls for Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC) and Trade Compliance (Sanctions & Export Controls).

• Proven track record navigating complex, high-velocity MNCs within the Technology Manufacturing, Tech, or heavy Manufacturing sectors.
• Deep geographic exposure managing international portfolios, with specific expertise in the APAC and US regulatory and risk landscapes.
• Strong mastery of internal control frameworks (e.g., COSO, ISO 31000) and risk assessment methodologies.
• Deep familiarity with operational controls governing Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC) and Trade Compliance/Sanctions. Candidates with deep mastery in one area who can rapidly scale up in the other will be considered.
• Resilience & Tenacity: High comfort level with ambiguity, rapid change, and building control frameworks from the ground up in shifting environments.
