Strategy Lead, Ethics & Compliance

Role Purpose / Objective 

The Strategy Lead, Ethics & Compliance serves as a strategic advisor and governance partner to the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer (CECO) and is a standing member of the Global Ethics & Compliance Leadership Team (GEC LT). As a standing GEC LT member, the role contributes to decision quality, governance discipline, and enterprise integration. Sitting within GLEC Operations – Strategy & Planning, the role strengthens the effectiveness of the GEC function by translating leadership priorities into clear decision materials, risk and governance-ready narratives, and disciplined follow-through on actions and commitments. By sitting on the Strategy & Planning team with a dotted line to the CECO, the role aligns directly with the function’s strategy, planning, and project-management resources while remaining dedicated to the CECO’s ethics & compliance agenda. The CECO provides formal input to the role’s annual objectives, priority setting, performance evaluation, and development planning. The role has direct access to the CECO and is authorized to convene GEC LT leaders to prepare decision materials, resolve dependencies, and support governance readiness. 

The role enhances CECO effectiveness by bringing greater structure, rigor, and accountability to leadership decisions: framing the hardest questions, preparing the CECO for the forums that matter most, and ensuring decisions are made, documented, and driven to closure. It is a content-deep, advisory and governance role focused on the substance of the E&C program.
