Experience managing compliance-related obligations is a benefit, including implementing and overseeing internal controls to ensure compliance with state/provincial, federal or international regulations or laws.
Experience building and maintaining a new function or program is preferred.
Strong relationship-building, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
Proven ability to successfully multitask, remain responsive and agile to changes in business priorities, and to deliver pragmatic, risk-based recommendations to the business.
