This role provides leadership and strategic direction to help ensure the organization operates in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies. The role translates compliance risks and business priorities into practical, risk-based actions; leads complex internal investigations from intake through fact-finding, interviews, findings, and recommendations; and supports implementation of the company’s broader Compliance Program, including risk assessments and training. As a trusted advisor to management and a role model for ethical behavior, the Compliance Investigations Manager promotes integrity, accountability, and a culture in which employees feel empowered to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

Main Responsibilities

• Lead complex, hands-on internal investigations from initial intake and scoping through fact-finding, interviews, evidence review, findings, recommendations, reporting, and case closure, ensuring matters are handled thoroughly, objectively, consistently, and in a timely manner.
• Manage misconduct and compliance concerns raised through the Hotline and other reporting channels, assess allegations and risk, establish appropriate investigative approaches, and maintain independence and impartiality throughout the process.
• Investigate a range of ethics and compliance matters, including fraud and financial misconduct, bribery and corruption, conflicts of interest, third-party misconduct, whistleblower allegations, and other potential violations of law or company policy.
• Manage multiple investigations concurrently, prioritizing cases based on risk, severity, and business impact, coordinating appropriate resources, and maintaining timely and well-documented case progression.
• Gather and analyze relevant evidence, conduct investigative interviews, and prepare clear, well-supported findings and recommendations for relevant stakeholders and senior management.
• Identify current and emerging compliance risks and translate investigation trends, recurring issues, and business priorities into practical corrective actions, controls, and risk-mitigation measures.
• Support implementation of the company’s broader Compliance Program through compliance risk assessments, training, policy guidance, and practical advice on ethical decision-making and applicable requirements.
• Partner with Legal, Human Resources, Internal Audit, Finance, and other business functions as appropriate, while maintaining appropriate independence, confidentiality, and need-to-know handling of sensitive investigation information.
• Provide clear, decision-ready reporting to senior management on significant compliance matters, findings, risk implications, and recommended actions, and constructively challenge decisions that could compromise compliance or integrity.
• Promote a culture of integrity and speak-up behavior by reinforcing ethical standards, protection against retaliation, accountability, and leaders’ responsibility to model appropriate conduct.
