• Execute designated first‑line anti‑corruption controls, including third‑party due diligence, business transaction reviews, gifts and entertainment approvals, and conflicts of interest assessments.
• Perform second‑line oversight activities by monitoring adherence to policies, evaluating control effectiveness, tracking training completion, and escalating non‑compliance issues.
• Conduct and regularly update regional anti‑corruption risk assessments, identifying exposure areas and driving targeted mitigation actions with business stakeholders.
• Provide clear, practical legal and compliance guidance on anti‑corruption matters in support of commercial transactions and operational decision‑making.
• Serve as the regional subject‑matter expert on anti‑corruption, acting as a trusted point of contact for management and employees and ensuring consistent interpretation of global standards.
• Monitor regulatory developments, enforcement trends, and case law related to anti‑corruption and advise leadership on potential business impact and required program enhancements.
• Lead or support internal investigations into potential anti‑corruption violations, ensuring thorough documentation, root‑cause analysis, and effective remediation.
• Deliver training and awareness initiatives for employees and third parties, including live and virtual sessions, onboarding programs, and leadership briefings.
• Provide regular reporting on risks, trends, and program effectiveness to regional and global Ethics & Compliance leadership, contributing to continuous improvement of the global compliance framework.

What are we looking for?

• Law degree with admission to the bar in the country of practice.
• 5–7 years of post‑qualification experience in anti‑corruption, corporate criminal law, compliance, or investigations.
• Strong working knowledge of international anti‑corruption laws and frameworks, including FCPA, UK Bribery Act, Sapin II, OECD guidelines, and DOJ compliance guidance.
• Demonstrated experience implementing, testing, and monitoring anti‑corruption controls within a multinational environment.
• Ability to translate complex legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance for business and operational teams.
• Strong analytical, judgment, and problem‑solving skills with a pragmatic, business‑oriented mindset.
• High integrity, sound professional judgment, and the confidence to challenge and escalate issues when necessary.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills in cross‑cultural and matrixed environments.

Minimum

• Law degree with bar admission in the relevant jurisdiction.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant legal or compliance experience in anti‑corruption or related regulatory fields.
• Experience working within a multinational organization or international law firm environment.
