Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

In this role, you will partner with business leaders, legal and compliance stakeholders, audit partners, process owners, and cross-functional teams to assess risk, improve controls, support compliance education, and advance practical solutions that reduce exposure and improve operational effectiveness. You will help design and implement procedures, review activities against internal control standards, support compliance education, develop or revise compliance policies and procedures, and identify vulnerabilities requiring corrective action.

What You Will Do:

• Design, implement, and improve daily compliance procedures, internal control practices, and business processes that support risk mitigation and operational consistency.
• Review and assess business activities against internal control standards, compliance expectations, and enterprise ethical requirements.
• Identify potential risk and compliance vulnerabilities, recommend corrective action plans, and provide guidance to help prevent recurring issues.
• Develop, initiate, and revise compliance policies, procedures, and related program activities for the business unit or assigned area.
• Lead or support compliance-related education, follow-up training, and stakeholder communications related to regulations, policies, procedures, and emerging trends.
• Apply risk management tools, models, benchmarks, and audit mechanisms to assess and control exposure across business activities.
• Facilitate compliance-related process implementation or improvement initiatives and contribute to audit and compliance strategies, plans, and best practices.
• Plan, organize, monitor, and control compliance projects, including project estimation, staffing, risk identification, status reporting, and stakeholder communication.
• Gather, analyze, validate, and report compliance-related data to identify trends, issues, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Build productive relationships with clients, vendors, peers, business partners, and support teams to advance compliance objectives and resolve issues effectively.

What You Will Have:

• Risk Management: Extensive experience applying risk management processes, tools, models, benchmarks, audit mechanisms, and business-specific risk practices.
• Audit and Compliance Function: Extensive knowledge of audit and compliance responsibilities, including compliance program management, process improvement, and ability to develop and support a complex Trade Compliance environment.
• Process Management: Extensive experience evaluating, diagnosing, optimizing, and improving business processes, including the ability to make a business case for new processes.
• Project Management: Extensive experience planning, staffing, organizing, monitoring, and reporting on projects while identifying risks and maintaining communication with stakeholders.
• Data Gathering and Reporting: Extensive experience analyzing complex reports, overseeing data-gathering initiatives, developing reporting criteria, and verifying data accuracy.
• Relationship Management: Extensive experience communicating expectations, negotiating business relationships, conducting reviews, maintaining productive relationships, and enabling healthy collaboration.
• Analytical Thinking: Working knowledge of problem definition, comparative solution analysis, meaningful data pattern identification, and root cause evaluation.
• Effective Communications: Working knowledge of clear written and verbal communication, report writing, presentation delivery, feedback exchange, and audience-appropriate messaging.

What Will Set You Apart:

• Experience supporting enterprise compliance programs, internal controls, audit readiness, regulatory compliance, ethics programs, or business risk management.
• Experience with trade compliance, internal reviews, compliance testing, risk and control self-assessments, policy governance, or corrective action management.
• Experience translating complex compliance, audit, or risk information into clear guidance for business stakeholders.
• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives that require influence without direct authority, stakeholder alignment, issue resolution, and executive-ready reporting.
• Experience using data, dashboards, metrics, and reporting to identify compliance trends, monitor controls, and support risk-based decision making.
