Remote Nuclear Engineering Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Industrial Automation (IA) is seeking a Senior Compliance Leader to design, lead, and operate a comprehensive global compliance program supporting regulated, high-consequence customer environments across the United States, Canada, and international operations.

Reporting directly to the Global Vice President, Technology, this role is a key member of the Leadership Team and is structured as a remote position. The successful candidate may work remotely from anywhere within North America, with periodic travel as required to support business operations, customer engagements, leadership meetings, audits, and regulatory activities.

This role owns IA's end-to-end compliance framework, including export controls, regulatory risk management, third-party compliance, training, investigations, and internal controls.

As IA's senior compliance authority, the role partners closely with Legal, Engineering, Operations, Quality, IT, HR, Supply Chain, and executive leadership to embed compliance directly into IA's operating model. The position provides strategic guidance to leadership while enabling compliant growth, supporting innovation, strengthening customer trust, and ensuring IA can confidently pursue opportunities in highly regulated industries and government-supported programs worldwide.

   Partner with IT to define and maintain technical and physical controls for sensitive or controlled data.
   Collaborate with the Corporate Compliance Centre of Excellence to ensure alignment with ATS Corporation's global compliance frameworks, standards, and enterprise programs. 
Governance, Risk & Oversight

   Conduct risk assessments, internal reviews, and compliance testing; identify gaps and lead remediation efforts.
   Establish metrics and reporting to provide senior leadership with clear visibility into compliance risk, trends, and program effectiveness.
Training & Culture
