The Senior Manager, Ethics & Compliance is a senior leader and key deputy within the Ethics & Compliance function. This role leads complex investigations, oversees third-party risk management, and drives cross-functional alignment with Legal, HR, Internal Audit, and other business partners to strengthen the company's culture of integrity. Reporting to the Senior Director, the Senior Manager translates strategic direction into execution, develops a high-performing team, and delivers measurable outcomes across a broad compliance portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Investigations Program Lead

Serve as the primary US-based investigations lead - taking complex matters involving fraud, bribery and corruption, conflicts of interest, export controls violations, and Code of Conduct breaches from intake through resolution and corrective action.

Conduct structured interviews, manage evidence collection, determine root cause, and author defensible investigation reports for senior leadership and, where applicable, regulators or external counsel.

Provide backup coverage for global and cross-jurisdictional matters; partner with Legal, HR, and Security on case strategy, procedural fairness, and remediation.

Manage and report on investigations volume, case aging, and corrective action trends as part of the program's board-ready metrics.

FCPA / Anti-Corruption + Third-Party Risk

Leverage existing TPRM process to enhance overall TPRM lifecycle program - from a consolidated global third-party master list and risk-tier model to Tier-1 audits, ongoing monitoring, and contractual compliance.

Mature current third-party due diligence practices by focusing on risk factors - geography, service type, government touchpoints, and spend - across suppliers, customers, distributors, and agents to build strategic reviews.

Lead in-person ABAC training at high-risk global sites; embed standard anti-corruption and right-to-audit clauses on every contract renewal; centralize the contract repository.

Drive continuous monitoring - replacing point-in-time onboarding with a defensible, audit-ready program that can withstand "show us your TPRM" scrutiny at a first DOJ interview.

Coordinate with Procurement, Legal, and Internal Audit across the full vendor lifecycle; chair the cross-functional TPRM Council as the program matures.

M&A Integrity Due Diligence Program

Develop a charter for compliance's seat at the Corporate Development intake table and establish the governance MOU with Strategy/M&A and Legal.

Develop the core toolkit - Integrity Questionnaire, key-personnel interview guide, sanctions/PEPs/adverse media screening playbook, and reps-and-warranties language coordinated with Legal.

Deliver the M&A Integrity Package on live deals: go/no-go compliance input and integration remediation plan; conduct the 100-day post-close audit with owner-tagged milestones.

Integrate acquired third parties into TPRM and analytics monitoring; ensure the pre-acquisition diligence prong is fully evidenced for DOJ review.

Program Analytics & Reporting

Maintain dashboards, metrics, and trend analyses that provide leadership with clear visibility into investigations activity, speak-up volume, TPRM outcomes, and overall program health.

Translate data into board-ready insights - surfacing hotspots, emerging risks, and mitigation recommendations; support the analytics foundation as the program's dedicated analytics hire onboards.

Champion data quality and automation improvements within case management and TPRM platforms.

Team Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

Lead, coach, and develop team members - setting clear expectations, providing ongoing feedback, and building individual capability aligned to the program's five strategic priorities.

Translate the Senior Director's strategic direction into execution-ready workplans across investigations, TPRM, and M&A workstreams.

Represent Ethics & Compliance in internal governance forums - with Legal, Internal Audit, Finance, Corp Dev, and Procurement - and partner with business leaders on risk identification and culture-building initiatives.

Contribute to policy updates, training content, and cross-functional initiatives that strengthen controls and advance the company's culture of integrity.

Qualifications

10+ years of progressive relevant experience in ethics & compliance, internal investigations, FCPA/anti-corruption, or enterprise risk management - ideally spanning both a program-build and steady-state operation.

Demonstrated expertise leading complex, multi-jurisdictional investigations and third-party risk programs with strong judgment on sensitive matters.

Experience with or strong familiarity with DOJ ECCP expectations - able to architect a program that is defensible, evidenced, and adequately resourced under current standards.

Comfort operating across TPRM, M&A due diligence, and analytics - this role covers significant ground and requires range.

Proficiency with data, dashboards, and case management or TPRM platforms; ability to translate program data into leadership-ready insights.

Excellent communication, interviewing, and executive stakeholder engagement skills; proven ability to build trust across Legal, Finance, Internal Audit, and business partners.

Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or professional certification strongly preferred (CFE, CPA, ACAMS, or equivalent).
