We are looking for an experienced Senior Compliance Manager to take full ownership of Unit4's ESG program, including CSRD and other climate disclosure obligations, while executing key workstreams across our broader compliance program. Reporting to the Assistant General Counsel, Head of Compliance & Risk, and working as an individual contributor within the Legal team, you will be a trusted compliance professional who helps teams across the business move quickly and responsibly. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role for someone who wants to run the ESG program end to end and execute compliance operations that are adopted and integrated across a global technology company.
This role moves quickly in a fast-paced SaaS business. You will own defined lanes, build compliance processes that are scalable and enforceable, and advise across the business. Your remit includes, but is not limited to:
What You'll Own
Policy Lifecycle Management: drafting, maintenance, version control, and global rollout
ESG program management: own the ESG reporting calendar and disclosure obligations, including CSRD, GHG Protocol emissions reporting, and other applicable climate disclosure regimes (e.g., Norway Transparency Act, California SB 261)
Anti-bribery and anti-corruption compliance: including third-party and channel partner risk
Compliance training program: design and delivery
Day-to-day execution of the legal and compliance program's operational cadence (training, attestations, reporting calendars)
Sanctions and export control compliance: third-party screening, KYC due diligence, and monitoring for sanctions and export control obligations across jurisdictions
What You'll Build and Improve On
Faster, more consistent policy drafting and alignment processes, reducing cycle time from draft to global rollout
Iterating on how the compliance program is organized, prioritized, and resourced
Regulatory horizon scanning across jurisdictions, feeding into the legal and regulatory register and program priorities
ESG data collection and reporting infrastructure, including investor and shareholder ESG questionnaire responses and third-party ratings submission
Cross-functional intake and escalation paths so compliance issues surface earlier, not after the fact
Support insurance portfolio management
Lead legal contact for compliance-related RFP and customer questionnaire requirements
What You'll Advise On
Business teams navigating compliance questions in real time across all functions
Risk implications of new initiatives, partnerships and acquisitions
Strategic ESG positioning and practical application of ESG requirements to the business
Policy interpretation and guidance
What You’ll Bring:
At least 5 years executing, managing, or developing a global compliance program
Demonstrated experience managing a global ESG/CSRD reporting program end to end, including GHG Protocol and third-party ESG ratings
Strong, demonstrable interest and capability in compliance and risk management
Practical experience advising on compliance in a technology, SaaS, or software context
Experience improving and speeding up policy drafting, alignment, and maintenance processes
Experience contributing to strategic compliance structuring reviews
