Assist with third‑party due diligence, compliance certifications, and recordkeeping related to anti‑bribery and export/sanctions compliance requirements across DDN’s global operations.

Help coordinate compliance training logistics and maintain documentation supporting the company’s compliance program.

KYC and Due Diligence Support

Respond to and manage incoming Know Your Customer (KYC), Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO), and related due diligence requests from banks, financial partners, customers, and other stakeholders.

Compile and maintain entity ownership, formation, and governance documentation needed to support KYC and beneficial ownership disclosures.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with Finance, Tax, People Operations, and business stakeholders across regions to support corporate projects, financings, and other strategic initiatives.

Support special projects and diligence coordination for M&A, financing, and integration matters as needed.

Qualifications

6+ years of corporate paralegal experience, including substantial in‑house experience at a multinational, private technology or software company; law firm experience supporting global corporate clients also considered.
