• Negotiate and define obligations with stakeholders, setting clear program objectives and success metrics
• Unblock teams and increase speed of delivery by identifying and resolving technical, organizational, or resource constraints
• Identify opportunities where compliance automation could unlock business value or remove perceived risk blockers
• Oversee rollout of compliance controls and audits, including testing and measuring effectiveness of automated compliance monitoring mechanisms
• Influence roadmaps, business and technology decisions across CDI functions and partner organizations
• Write clear and compelling narratives (6-pagers, PR/FAQs) that explain compliance operations programs and their business impact
• Present effectively to Directors and VPs on program status, risks, and recommendations
• Improve, streamline, and/or eliminate excess processes or controls that create friction without adding value
