- Monitor regulatory compliance requirements across operating jurisdictions and ensure Finance processes meet local and international standards (IFRS, tax, labor law, social insurance)
- Own the external vendors compliance framework for outsourced labor providers — ensuring payments accuracy verification, contract adherence
- Design preventive controls to detect policy violations before they reach Finance
- Identify manual processes that create control risk and champion automation or system-based controls

Behavioral Competencies
- Structured thinker: Can take a chaotic, undocumented process and turn it into a clear flowchart with controls, owners, and exception-handling procedures
- Diplomatically relentless: Pushes for compliance without creating adversarial relationships with Operations and HR. Understands that controls must work with the business, not against it
- Comfortable with ambiguity: need to be energized, not paralyzed, by embracing ambiguity
- Communication range: Can write a board-ready risk report and also explain to a hub manager why a new approval step matters
- Ownership mentality: Doesn't wait for the auditor to find the problem. Finds it first, fixes it, and
documents the fix.
