Job Description

The Ethics Program Manager will serve as the deputy of the Ethics and Business Conduct function at the Intelligence & Security Sector, will act in the director's absence, and will interact with employees of all levels within the sector.

The manager will support the director in the function's two primary objectives: a) to prevent and detect misconduct; and b) to promote an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law. With appropriate overlap, the manager will undertake those ethics function activities related to "detection," while the director will undertake those functional activities related to "prevention." The manager will travel across the sector's diverse sites and facilities to cultivate strategic relationships, reinforce our ethical business culture within the workforce, and enhance employee engagement with our Code of Conduct.

The manager's primary role is to seek out, accumulate and evaluate quantitative and qualitative data about the Intelligence & Security sector. To this end, the manager:

• Collects this data by engaging actively and sensitively with employees who contact the ethics office and conducting timely investigations of misconduct.
• Provides direction, support and guidance for investigations conducted by the local ethics officer network.
• Develop insights informed by an ordered process of managing the ethics database and mining this information along with other sources of information.
• Proposes organizational change strategies and tactics (to include communications and training) targeted to minimize the likelihood of specific behaviors and reduce ethics risks.
• Devises and undertakes a strategy to increase, document and track employee utilization of all ethics resources (the ethics website, the ethics helpline, ethics training, and the local ethics officers, for example), and
• Increases the rate at which employees come forward to seek advice on policies (primarily our Code of Conduct, the Gift and Hospitality policy, the Conflict-of-Interest policy), and speak up about concerns.
