Ethics & Compliance Investigations Lead

About the Role

As an Ethics & Compliance Lead, you will manage key components of the Company's Ethics & Compliance Program, including whistleblower and misconduct investigations, conflicts of interest oversight, and ethics program enhancement initiatives. You will assess and investigate allegations of misconduct, advise on conflict-of-interest disclosures and mitigation strategies, support Board and management reporting, and drive training and awareness efforts that strengthen the Company's speak-up culture.

Working closely with Legal, Human Resources, Risk, Audit, and business leaders, you will help ensure ethics concerns are addressed objectively, confidentially, and consistently while identifying opportunities to improve policies, controls, training, and compliance processes. Success in this role is measured by effective risk mitigation, timely case resolution, program maturity, and stakeholder trust.

• Develop and deliver ethics and compliance training, awareness campaigns, and communications that promote a strong speak-up culture.
