About the Role:
Geneva is recognized as one of Europe’s leading international business and regulatory hubs, and at Sicurezza Lavoro Consulting Group, we help organizations navigate complex compliance environments with confidence. We partner with multinational companies, industrial operators, healthcare groups, and enterprise clients to strengthen governance, reduce operational risk, and build sustainable compliance strategies across international markets.
We are looking for a Senior Compliance and Risk Management Director who can lead enterprise-wide compliance initiatives while shaping the long-term governance framework of the organization.

You will serve as a strategic leader who works closely with executive management, operational teams, and external stakeholders to identify risks before they become problems and build systems that support long-term growth and accountability.
You will oversee compliance operations across multiple business units, mentor a high-performing team, and drive company-wide initiatives related to regulatory standards, operational controls, internal audits, and corporate ethics.

Professional Growth:
We invest heavily in leadership development, executive coaching, and industry education. You will have access to international conferences, compliance seminars, and advanced certification support to keep your expertise ahead of market changes.
Long Term Stability:
We are focused on sustainable growth, operational excellence, and building long-term client partnerships. Our leadership team values professionals who can create scalable systems and lasting impact.

Oversee company-wide compliance programs to ensure alignment with Swiss and international regulatory requirements, internal policies, and industry standards.
Governance and Policy Development:
Establish and maintain governance procedures, compliance documentation, internal controls, and reporting structures that support organizational accountability and transparency.
Audit and Investigation Oversight:
Lead internal audits, compliance reviews, and investigations related to operational risk, regulatory matters, and corporate policy adherence.
Cross Functional Collaboration:
Partner with executive leadership, legal teams, finance departments, and operational managers to integrate compliance practices into everyday business operations.
Team Management:
Lead and mentor compliance analysts, risk specialists, and department managers. Create a culture focused on accountability, ethical decision-making, and continuous improvement.
Stakeholder Communication:
Present risk assessments, compliance reports, and strategic recommendations to senior leadership, external partners, and regulatory stakeholders.
Regulatory Monitoring:
Stay informed about evolving Swiss and international regulations, ensuring proactive implementation of policy updates and operational adjustments.
What We Are Looking For:
Experience:
10+ years of experience in compliance, governance, enterprise risk management, or regulatory operations, with at least 4 years in a senior leadership role.
