Successful business relationships are built on trust and shared values – this is an opportunity to lead a team that programmatically helps Microsoft suppliers understand our values and data protection expectations. We hold suppliers to Privacy, Security and Responsible AI standards that consider cybersecurity risk, regulatory obligations, data subject rights to name a few -- contributing to our company reputation, “Microsoft runs on Trust’.   

The Microsoft Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance (SSPA) program is a Corporate control that sets requirements for our global suppliers and drives compliance to these standards. We are looking for a Group Compliance Manager to lead a team paying equal attention to enabling an innovative operation and securing high quality compliance due diligence records to provide assurance to the company and various auditors! 

This role requires a skilled executive communicator who can effectively engage with senior supplier leaders and peers across procurement and other business functions. You are adept at conveying Privacy, Security, and Responsible AI policy positions with confidence and can reframe your arguments on the fly to ensure understanding and compliance. You handle difficult conversations with ease and can model and coach these communication skills to further develop your team. Your agility allows you to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and reframe positions for different target audiences. 

You will encounter an interesting, diverse and an ever-evolving breadth of supplier use case scenarios and will enable the team to enhance peer review practices that arrive at well-balanced outcomes that match supplier scenarios. 

It’s an exciting time at Microsoft – you will lead the team encouraging them to think big, experiment, pilot, and re-iterate and embed into business processes. You will focus on systems thinking, building and integrating processes to drive optimization across procurement and the company. Your leadership will support our suppliers in becoming regulation-ready while ensuring our secure foundations and delivering high-quality outcomes. 

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
