Job Description
Redpath is a rapidly growing organization that is going through an exciting organizational and systems transformation, and is creating a Compliance Audit Function with the purpose of ensuring that the organization adheres to, and evidences compliance with, all relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies across each of the business units. The role has evolved from a primarily audit-support position into a legal and compliance governance role supporting the General Counsel / Chief Compliance Officer across RMI legal matters, compliance program implementation, privacy and data governance, internal investigations, training, vendor risk, and escalation of legal and compliance risk.
We are recruiting for a Compliance Legal Counsel with a legal background, who will be responsible for supporting the Compliance department, monitoring adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, conducting compliance reviews and audits as required, and collaborating with departments to address and resolve compliance issues. The role also provides first-instance legal support on assigned RMI contractual matters, including MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, DPAs, vendor terms, liability provisions, subcontracting clauses, privacy obligations, and related commercial-risk allocation.
This role requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate with various stakeholders to ensure effective compliance management and continuous development. It also requires proactive engagement, first-instance ownership, sound legal reasoning, clear escalation judgment, and the ability to operate in proximity to GC/CCO work while preserving appropriate legal and compliance governance.
Our ideal candidate must have a growth mindset, be continuous-improvement and development driven, be adaptable and agile to evolving business requirements, take accountability, be engaged, and deliver high-quality performance.
