Program Manager, Compliance

At Scale, we are driving the future of AI and Machine Learning across a variety of industries. As the Program Manager for Compliance, you will play a pivotal role in the continued success of Scale. Your role will be instrumental in ensuring the effective operation of our Compliance department and our GRC function, allowing us to maintain the highest standards in our industry.

Reporting to the Director & Associate General Counsel, Compliance, you will be a dedicated program manager for Scale's enterprise compliance program and the person who turns policy into practice across anti-bribery and anti-corruption, gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest, third-party risk and sanctions, policy lifecycle, and company-wide training. This is a hands-on builder, not a maintenance role.

You will support Commercial, Public Sector, and international business lines, working closely with Legal, Procurement, Finance, Security, and go-to-market teams.

• Help build, design, improve, and streamline Scale's core compliance programs, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC), gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest, and third-party risk and sanctions screening.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across the company to improve compliance policies, processes, and procedures.
• Monitor regulatory developments relevant to Scale's business, translate them into concrete policy and process changes, and track compliance obligations flowing out of customer contracts.
• Partner with leadership to build, mature, and operationalize the company's enterprise risk management (ERM) framework, identifying and assessing key business risks.
• Build the reporting layer: metrics and periodic reporting that give Legal & GRC leadership a defensible picture of program health.
• Flex into audit and assurance work during peak certification periods, and own inbound customer and investor compliance diligence questionnaires.

• 5+ years building or operating ethics and compliance programs in-house, with hands-on ownership of ABAC and at least one of gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest, or third-party risk.
• A track record of building policies, processes, and controls from scratch and successfully implementing them within a business.
• Experience leading day-to-day activities and improving processes.
• An action-oriented mindset, balancing creative problem-solving with a strong drive to achieve outcomes.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience using data analysis tools or software.
