Third-Party Risk & Compliance Lead

The primary focus of this role is to lead our Know Your Supplier (KYS) program
in Mexico, evolving it from a strong operational process into a scalable,
risk-based, and increasingly automated framework.
This is not a traditional KYS/KYB analyst role. The person joining will
initially work directly on cases to build a deep understanding of our vendor
population, processes, tools, and risk scenarios, but the long-term focus is
broader: leading complex cases and escalations, improving how KYS operates, and
driving its strategic evolution as the company grows. Reporting to the Senior
Compliance Lawyer, the KYS Lead will become the main functional point of
reference for the KYS team.

Challenges that await you:
* Lead the KYS process end-to-end, providing functional direction to the team
and ensuring consistent execution, appropriate risk management, and
continuous improvement.
* Act as the main point of escalation for complex KYS cases and exceptions,
making pragmatic, risk-based decisions and involving senior Compliance




leadership when appropriate.
* Lead KYS conversations with internal stakeholders, senior leadership, and
external partners, representing Compliance while balancing risk requirements
with practical business needs.
* Identify recurring issues and root causes and turn them into sustainable
improvements rather than solving the same problems case by case.
* Own the KYS improvement roadmap across processes, controls, automation, and
scalability, partnering with internal teams and external platforms to
translate Compliance and operational needs into practical solutions.
* Build visibility into KYS performance by monitoring volumes, SLAs, backlog,
turnaround times, escalation drivers, and capacity, using data to identify
bottlenecks and prioritize improvements.
* Help drive key KYS initiatives, including the continued evolution of the KYS
risk matrix, supporting tooling and other initiatives required as the program
matures.
