Job Description:

The HR Compliance Senior Associate supports labor and employment law compliance, regulatory activity, and has a dedicated focus on contractor compliance and lifecycle management. While employment law and regulatory responsibilities comprise the majority of the role, this position will also be directly responsible for the oversight of contractor management including worker classification reviews, onboarding, offboarding, and extensions, as well as partnership with business leaders to ensure compliance.

As part of the broader HR Compliance team, this position supports the HR Compliance leader in partnership with Talent, Legal, Finance, and other business stakeholders to interpret multi-jurisdictional requirements, assess risks, maintain policies and controls, and support reporting, audits, and remediation. The role also supports ADA accommodation follow-up, HR Compliance mailbox oversight, client RFP and due diligence responses, and occasional global background investigations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide day-to-day employment law compliance support across jurisdictions by proactively researching and interpreting requirements, assessing risk and operational impact, resolving questions with Legal, HR, and business stakeholders, and escalating complex matters.

• Monitor employment law and regulatory developments and coordinate timely updates to policies, procedures, communications, training, guidance, and internal controls.

• Support compliance reviews, risk assessments, audits, and remediation; prepare and maintain EEO, affirmative action, and other required HR reports, filings, records, and supporting documentation.

• Oversee the HR Compliance mailbox and coordinate accurate, timely responses to HR compliance inquiries, client RFPs, questionnaires, audits, and due diligence requests.

• Lead contractor compliance and lifecycle oversight with business units and cross-functional partners. Independently conduct and document worker classification reviews, evaluate complex arrangements, ensure agreements and SOWs align with approved engagements, monitor end dates, coordinate extensions and offboarding, maintain audit-ready records, and advise on or escalate classification and compliance risks.

• Support the HR Compliance leader in providing confidential ADA accommodation follow-up and coordinate documentation, communications, next steps, and appropriate escalation.

• As needed, support background investigations globally in accordance with applicable law, privacy requirements, firm policy, and screening standards; handle findings confidentially and escalate complex matters.
