- Collaborate with stakeholders across Compliance, Legal, Product, Engineering, and Operations to ensure aligned, timely response and remediation efforts.
- Integrate incident findings into broader compliance risk management processes (e.g., issue management, internal controls, training, monitoring).
- Continuously improve the incident response playbook, workflows, and tooling—adopting automation and scalable systems where possible.

- A track record of leading cross-functional investigations and driving resolution of complex issues with regulatory or operational impact.
- Deep analytical skills with an ability to identify root causes and propose structured, risk-based remediation strategies.
- Experience building dashboards, reports, or tracking systems to manage incident workflows and monitor performance.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you can clearly explain risk concepts and investigation outcomes to technical and non-technical audiences.
