The OpportunityAdobe's Business Ethics & Integrity organization is continuing to evolve our data-driven, risk-based approach to compliance - one that proactively identifies emerging risks, continuously evaluates the effectiveness of our controls, and uses data and technology to generate meaningful insights and drive continuous improvement.
We're looking for a Compliance Risk & Assurance professional to help continue maturing these capabilities across Adobe's global Business Ethics & Integrity program. This role will connect compliance risk assessments, monitoring, targeted compliance reviews, and analytics to help us understand where our most significant risks are, whether our compliance processes and controls are effectively mitigating those risks, and where we should focus our efforts and resources.
You'll work across Business Ethics & Integrity and partner closely with Legal, Internal Audit, and other teams to develop scalable, risk-based assurance and monitoring capabilities. You'll also support compliance due diligence in M&A and explore opportunities to leverage data, analytics, automation, and emerging technologies - including AI - to strengthen risk identification, improve efficiency, and generate actionable insights.
This is an opportunity to help shape how a global technology company identifies and manages compliance risks, evaluates program effectiveness, and drives continuous improvement.
What You'll Do- Develop and execute compliance risk assessments to identify, evaluate, and prioritize ethics and compliance risks across Adobe's businesses, geographies, and operations.
- Design and implement risk-based compliance monitoring and assurance activities to evaluate the effectiveness of compliance processes and controls, identify gaps, and drive remediation and continuous improvement.
- Build and enhance continuous monitoring capabilities, leveraging compliance and business data to identify emerging risks, trends, anomalies, and potential control weaknesses across key compliance risk areas.
- Develop meaningful risk indicators, dashboards, metrics, and reporting to provide leadership with actionable insights into compliance risks, program effectiveness, and opportunities for improvement.
- Partner with Legal, Internal Audit, and business stakeholders to evaluate findings, identify root causes, develop practical remediation plans, and strengthen compliance processes and controls.
- Support M&A compliance risk assessments and due diligence, including identifying potential ethics and compliance risks and supporting post-close integration and remediation.
- Leverage analytics, automation, AI, and emerging technologies to improve the efficiency, scalability, and effectiveness of compliance risk assessment, monitoring, and assurance activities.
- Support broader Ethics & Compliance Office initiatives and priorities, including enhancements to compliance policies, processes, governance, and other program activities as needed.
What You'll Need to Succeed - Bachelor's degree or equivalent
