Reporting directly to the Chief Compliance Officer, this Director will serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, a visible steward of the Company's integrity culture, and a hands-on program builder capable of translating complex regulatory obligations into practical, scalable frameworks. The role carries primary ownership of the Company's anti-corruption, fair competition, conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality, data privacy compliance, and Speak Up program portfolios, and will be a key voice in shaping how compliance is experienced across the global organization. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role well-suited to a compliance leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and brings the strategic credibility to influence at the executive level while driving execution across diverse markets and business lines. What You'll Do Program Strategy & Governance · Define and lead the long-term strategic vision for Forward Air's global Ethics & Compliance program, ensuring it is risk-based, proportionate, and aligned with the Company's scale and international footprint. · Serve as the primary global subject matter authority on anti-bribery/anti-corruption (FCPA, UK Bribery Act, and equivalent international regimes), fair competition and antitrust, conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality, data privacy compliance, and Speak Up governance. · Develop and maintain a robust global policy architecture, ensuring policies are current, consistent, jurisdiction-sensitive where required, and embedded in business operations rather than siloed in compliance. Risk Intelligence & Mitigation · Lead the design and execution of the Company's global compliance risk assessment program, including enterprise-level and market-specific assessments, with an emphasis on identifying systemic vulnerabilities and emerging regulatory trends. · Translate risk assessment outputs into prioritized, measurable mitigation plans with clear ownership and executive visibility. · Monitor the evolving global regulatory environment across key jurisdictions and proactively advise leadership on implications for the business. Training, Culture & Awareness · Architect and oversee a global training and awareness strategy that goes beyond compliance checkbox requirements – building genuine understanding of ethical expectations across all levels of the organization. · Design role-specific and risk-tiered learning experiences (including eLearning and live delivery) that are engaging, culturally resonant, and linked to measurable behavior change. · Champion a speak-up culture by providing strategic oversight of the Company's reporting channels, non-retaliation framework, case trend analysis, and escalation governance. Executive Partnership & Reporting · Serve as a strategic partner to the CCO, providing risk counsel, regulatory horizon scanning, and executive-ready reporting on the program’s health and emerging issues. · Develop and maintain program metrics, dashboards, and governance reporting that demonstrate program effectiveness to senior leadership and relevant oversight bodies. · Build and sustain trusted relationships with Legal, HR, Internal Audit, Finance, Procurement, IT, Security, and business leaders globally to ensure compliance is a genuine operational partner rather than a gatekeeper function. What You'll Bring · 12+ years of experience in compliance or regulatory roles · Juris Doctor (JD), LL.B., or equivalent legal qualification required; Master of Laws (LL.M.) or equivalent advanced legal degree preferred. · Substantial experience in senior ethics, compliance, legal, or regulatory roles within a large multinational or global organization, with direct accountability for multi-jurisdictional program governance. · Deep, substantive expertise across anti-bribery/anti-corruption, competition/antitrust, conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality, data privacy compliance (GDPR and equivalent regimes), and Speak Up governance – with the ability to distinguish between legal nuance and practical business risk. · A proven track record of operating at the strategic level, advising key stakeholders, influencing without authority across a matrixed organization, and driving meaningful compliance culture change. · Strong program-building instincts: comfortable designing frameworks from the ground up, scaling them across diverse markets, and continuously improving them based on risk signals and business feedback. · High executive presence, exceptional written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to translate complex regulatory concepts into clear, business-relevant guidance. · Experience in transportation, logistics, freight forwarding, supply chain, or another operationally complex, high-volume international business strongly preferred. · English fluency required; additional languages are a plus.

Role : Account Manager Growth Engine For senior hunters ready for the next chapter — keep the upside, lose the grind. Locations: New York Reporting to: Chief Growth Officer Type: Full-time, hybrid · Three days /~30% travel About Sirion Sirion is a leading Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform serving Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, technology, and government. Our AI-powered platform helps enterprises manage trillions of dollars in contract value through automated authoring, negotiation, post-signature management, and obligation tracking. We are headquartered globally with active customer operations across North America, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East. We are scaling our Account Management function to drive expansion across our growing enterprise customer base. This is a high-impact, executive-visible role on a team being built ground-up. The Role — And Who It Is For This role is built specifically for senior closers who have spent 15–20 years in the chase — and now want to bring that hunting muscle to a known book, with the support of a CSM partner, the air cover of platform-level executive relationships, and a portfolio model that rewards expansion without the 100% cold-start grind. You will work in a 2-in-a-box partnership with a Customer Success Manager on account, with shared accountability for Net Revenue Retention and customer outcomes. What This Role Is — and Is Not We are not asking you to become a farmer. We are asking you to bring your hunting craft to a book where the prospects already know us — and let us match it with the support, partnership, and predictability that lets you keep doing this without burning out. What this role IS • Expansion selling on a named, warm book of enterprise accounts., • Hunting muscle applied to platform expansion — adding SKUs, new departments, new geographies inside existing customers., • Executive-level commercial negotiation with CIO, CFO, GC, CPO buyers — the conversations you got into sales for., • Predictable cadence: ~30% travel, hybrid office, named accounts, real customer relationships., • Joint-credit model: shared NRR target with a CSM partner.

CSM owns retention and adoption; you own commercial and expansion. Both are jointly accountable for NRR., • Run a stack-ranked opportunity view of your accounts using expnasion grading; prioritize hunting against high-grade accounts with active expansion signals., • Maintain pipeline accuracy in CRM, refresh quarterly account plans, and contribute to forecast discipline., • Collaborate with Professional Services on accounts in implementation, • Contribute to Sirion's broader Growth playbook — share field intelligence, refine value propositions, and improve how we sell. Required Qualifications • 15–20 years of total work experience, including senior-level commercial roles., • Minimum 7 years carrying a quota in Enterprise SaaS (named-account selling model)., • Demonstrated new-logo selling experience — not pure renewal-only or farming background. Comfortable hunting cold pipelines, navigating enterprise procurement, and building executive business cases., • Hands-on experience selling a multi-SKU platform (three or more products in a single platform offering). Ability to articulate platform value beyond single-product features., • One of the following backgrounds:, • Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) — at Icertis, Conga/Apttus, DocuSign CLM, Ironclad, Agiloft, Evisort, ContractPodAi; OR, • Ex-Sirion alumni who left in good standing., • Proven C-level executive engagement experience (CIO, CFO, General Counsel, CPO, COO conversations)., • Bachelor's degree minimum; MBA or equivalent advanced degree preferred. Preferred Qualifications • Direct CLM domain experience at top competitors (Icertis, Conga/Apttus, DocuSign CLM, or Ironclad)., • Procurement-side selling background — SAP Ariba, Coupa, Workday Procurement, Ivalua, GEP, or JAGGAER., • LegalTech adjacency, • Multi-region selling exposure (e.g., NAM + EMEA, or NAM + APAC)., • Comfort with AI and automation narrative — Sirion's GenAI and agentic capabilities are competitive differentiators., • Experience selling to procurement, legal, sales operations, or finance buyer personas., • Track record of consistently exceeding $1M+ annual expansion quota.
