Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Enterprise Compliance, you will work closely with FBG business units and product lines to: i) advise first-line control owners on the design and implementation of practical, sustainable controls that address identified compliance risks; ii) evaluate the design and operational effectiveness of those controls; iii) identify control gaps or weaknesses; iv) recommend and coordinate remediation enhancements; and v) promote clear ownership, accountability, and transparency throughout the control lifecycle.

You will collaborate closely with stakeholders across FBG, including business unit and product line leaders and the Legal and Regulatory Compliance teams, to operationalize a mature, scalable compliance control design, monitoring, and testing program that proactively mitigates legal, regulatory, and ethical risks.
