As Senior Manager, Controls, Policies & Governance, you will support and advance the integrity of financial and operational processes across global markets, focusing on dynamic environments such as acquisitions, non-integrated operating models, and technology-driven ecosystems.

• Collaborate with Finance and Technology teams to align business process controls with IT general controls, strengthening end-to-end risk management.

• Partner with assurance functions on emerging risk evaluations and establish scalable, risk-appropriate solutions for decentralized operations.

• Promote controls-by-design principles during transformation initiatives such as system implementations and operating model changes to embed governance into processes from inception.

• Influence the development and enhancement of global financial policies and governance frameworks through external benchmarking and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

• Provide consultative support on high-risk audit findings, facilitating root cause analysis and guiding resolution activities with business teams.

• Support the evolution of Delegation of Authority (DOA) governance, including interpretation and application for local charts and approval structures in diverse operating contexts.

• Deliver internal controls and governance training to increase awareness and build broad capability in emerging risk areas across Finance and Corporate Functions.

• Champion continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate governance practices using digital technologies and analytics.

• Build strong relationships across global stakeholders to align priorities, promote consistency, and enable solution-driven risk management.
