Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the Corporate Compliance Operations Manager to enhance the operational aspects of UKG's corporate compliance program, including:
• Drive and coordinate the day-to-day execution of a compliance program gap assessment aligned to the DOJ Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs (ECCP): support scoping, coordinate evidence collection, schedule and facilitate stakeholder interviews/workshops, document observations, and integrate findings into a draft remediation roadmap (priorities, owners, milestones).
• Partner with Legal, Finance, Internal Audit, Security, HR, and business leaders to translate assessment outcomes into practical improvements and to track progress on remediation items; escalate blockers and risks to Compliance leadership.
• Manage policy operations and governance (intake, drafting support, review/approvals, version control, publishing, attestations, and communications), ensuring consistent processes and audit-ready documentation.
• Draft and update corporate compliance policies and procedures (e.g., Code of Conduct, conflicts of interest, gifts & entertainment, anti-corruption/anti-bribery, third-party due diligence, whistleblower/non-retaliation, records retention) and coordinate stakeholder review; partner with Legal on insider trading and disclosure-related procedures as applicable.
• Drive initiatives to increase employee awareness of compliance standards and ethical expectations.
• Maintain accurate documentation of compliance program activities, including SOPs, training completion, and policy acknowledgements.
• Build and maintain compliance program metrics and KRIs/KPIs; produce dashboards and executive-ready summaries using strong spreadsheet skills and reporting/BI tools (e.g., Power BI/Tableau). Support the corporate records retention program by partnering with departments to ensure adherence to UKG's records retention policy and schedules.
• Provide timely assistance for internal and external audit requirements (e.g., SOC 2, ISO27001).
• Drive change management for compliance initiatives: develop communications plans, coordinate enablement activities, capture feedback, and track adoption to improve sustainability of new processes and tools.
• Identify automation opportunities and support implementation using tools such as ServiceNow and/or GRC platforms: gather requirements, document user stories, support configuration/testing, and help drive adoption and process standardization.
• Use approved AI-enabled tools to accelerate compliance operations
• Perform additional duties and projects assigned by management.

About You: Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Legal Studies, Risk Management, Compliance, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum of 3 years of progressive experience in corporate compliance, ethics & compliance operations, risk management, or a related governance role.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance to solve moderately complex compliance operations challenges and improve existing processes.
• Experience executing a cross-functional assessment or maturity review (e.g., program gap assessment, audit readiness, controls review) and translating findings into actionable recommendations and tracked remediation items.
• Working knowledge of key elements of an effective compliance program (policies/procedures, training & communications, confidential reporting, third-party risk, continuous improvement).
• Strong organizational and program management skills: managing multiple priorities, dependencies, and timelines; documenting decisions and outcomes clearly.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clear, usable materials for varied audiences and to influence without authority.
• Strong analytical mindset, comfortable with data, dashboards, and turning metrics into action.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in developing and implementing compliance metrics and KPIs.
• Knowledge of international compliance regulations and standards.
• Experience supporting change management for compliance initiatives (communications plans, enablement, adoption metrics, feedback loops).
• Experience supporting implementation and/or administration of compliance tooling (e.g., ServiceNow workflows, GRC platforms, LMS solutions, reporting/BI tools) including requirements gathering, testing, documentation, and user enablement.
• Exposure to public company readiness concepts such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) readiness, disclosure controls & procedures, and IPO diligence expectations (not required but strongly valued).
• Understanding of audit frameworks (e.g., SSAE 18 SOC 1, AT101 SOC 2 or ISO27001/17/18, NIST) and/or experience supporting regulatory and compliance programs in organizations with global operations.
• Experience using AI to accelerate compliance work (e.g., drafting/summarizing) while implementing governance controls: approved-tool use, data/PII restrictions, and human approval before publication or action.
