Primary Function
As a Senior Manager, IT Regulatory Compliance, you will be a member of the Business Technology Solutions (IT) leadership team, reporting directly to the CISO.

Success in the role means ensuring technology and data risks are appropriately identified, controlled, and monitored across the enterprise-covering ERP platforms (SAP), supporting financial applications, infrastructure, hosted/cloud environments, third parties, and new system implementations-while enabling compliant handling of personal data. As Senior Manager, you will set the vision and roadmap for scalable controls and governance, drive audit and regulatory readiness, and act as a thought leader who influences stakeholders and delivers measurable program outcomes.

  • Establish and Maintain Global Technology and Privacy Control Standards - Design, standardize, and maintain global control frameworks and evidence standards spanning IT controls (SOX/ICFR) and technology-enabled privacy requirements (e.g., access, logging, encryption, retention/deletion, third-party controls) to drive consistency, scalability, and audit/regulatory readiness across regions and systems.
  • Align Controls with Leading Frameworks and Regulatory Requirements - Partner closely with Information Security and Legal/Privacy leadership to ensure alignment with applicable frameworks and regulations (e.g., NIST, COSO, ISO 27001/27701 as applicable, GDPR, India DPDP, China PIPL, CCPA/CPRA), and translate obligations into clear, testable control requirements.
  • Security-by-Design Oversight across SDLC and Implementations - Provide 2nd line oversight across SDLC phases and major system implementations ensuring controls are designed and executed to appropriately mitigate risk, procedures are executed in alignment with internal policies, and security and privacy requirements are appropriately embedded.
  • Serve as Primary Audit and Regulatory Liaison (Technology Controls) - Serve as a key technology risk and compliance contact for Internal Audit, external auditors, and (as applicable) regulatory inquiries related to technology controls and technology-enabled privacy requirements. Partner with Internal Audit to ensure audits and SOX procedures are planned, performed, and executed timely. Support consistent effective control execution and provide ongoing training to foster an effective environment and enhance efficiency.
  • Drive Issue Management and Remediation - Assess control deficiencies and compliance findings, govern and drive the identification, root cause analysis, risk acceptance/escalation, and remediation action plan development by partnering with control owners and operations teams.
  • Global Regulatory Compliance Enablement (Privacy and Technology) - Partner with Legal/Privacy, PMOs, IT Infrastructure, Security and IT leadership to drive compliance with internal policies, technology standards, and applicable privacy regulations. Enable consistent operational execution of privacy requirements through governance mechanisms (e.g., records of processing support, data retention/deletion controls, DSAR enablement inputs, vendor/third-party privacy risk oversight, and incident/breach response coordination inputs), and develop assurance procedures to validate ongoing compliance.
