You lead the broad legal and compliance dimension of our work, from sanctions and anti-corruption to regulatory and contractual exposure. This is distinct from our dedicated international humanitarian law practice.
This role contributes across SISG's seven service areas, in its own dimension:
- Political and security risk. Assess legal and regulatory exposure within political and security risk.
- Strategic intelligence and market entry. Advise on licensing, regulatory, and contractual conditions for market entry.
- Crisis and access. Support crisis decisions with legal exposure and liability analysis.
- IHL and compliance. Lead sanctions, anti-corruption, AML and CTF, and third-party compliance reviews and screening.
- AI and influence threats. Advise on the legal treatment of disinformation, platform, and data risk.
- Executive and asset protection. Advise on the legal framework around protective measures and personnel data.
- Training and leadership advisory. Deliver compliance training and policy advisory to client teams.
- An advanced university degree (Master's) in law, with a focus on regulatory, sanctions, corporate, or compliance practice.
- A first-level degree (Bachelor's) in a relevant field, together with two additional years of qualified experience, is accepted in lieu of the advanced degree.
- Admission to a recognised bar or law society, or a recognised compliance qualification, is an asset.
- Minimum five years of professional experience with substantial international exposure.
- Demonstrated experience delivering work comparable to the responsibilities above, in regulatory, sanctions, or corporate compliance, ideally across multiple jurisdictions.
- English is required. Arabic or French is an asset.
- A record of integrity, discretion, and sound judgement under pressure, and of working effectively across disciplines and cultures.
This is a project-based associate engagement, not employment. Compensation is agreed per project. You invoice SISG as an independent professional and remain responsible for your own tax and social-security obligations. Work is mainly remote, with occasional site visits. Selected associates undergo due diligence and sign confidentiality and conflict-of-interest declarations. Joining the roster does not guarantee project assignment.
