Job Title: Geographic Compliance & Corporate Manager
Job Summary:
The Geographic Compliance & Corporate team is Accenture's legal
advisor. We collaborate with other more specialized teams within
Accenture Legal to navigate the compliance and corporate governance
needs. This role focuses on Accenture's US operations. The legal
advice you will offer touches on dozens of compliance areas,
including regulatory, anticorruption, trade compliance, corporate
real estate transactions, tax and data privacy. This role involves
using good judgment, experience, business acumen and legal training
to address many varied issues as they arise, including issues of
first impression.
Representative Work:
Data privacy and licensing : You will help us build out how we
navigate the growth of US state-level data privacy legislation. You
will be a part of the team that creates the global framework around
data licensing agreements and ongoing governance functions related
to the use of data once it is properly licensed.
Artificial intelligence : Accenture is a global leader in the
responsible use of AI, and this role will support Accenture's work
to comply not only with its own ambitions on managing AI
responsibly but also with US legislation on AI.
Regulatory compliance : Our North America GCC team includes subject
matter experts on regulatory compliance, including the heavily
regulated health care and life sciences industries. We ensure that
Accenture complies with regulations when we offer services to our
clients, and we also ensure that our legal entities have the
appropriate licenses and certifications to provide the services
Accenture offers, in the US and globally. As part of North America
GCC, you will support this work.
Sourcing: You will review, draft and negotiate a variety of
agreements with suppliers and business partners including more
complex agreements in the following areas: software-as-a-service
license agreements, professional services and staffing agreements,
sponsorship deals, hardware renting & purchasing. Many of these
agreements are entered into in the US for the benefit of
Accenture's global operations. What you will do is assess the risk
in proposed transactions and inform and educate our Accenture
stakeholders about such risks, so they can make an informed
decision.
Marketing and Advertising : You will counsel Accenture's marketing
team to help develop, update and implement enterprise marketing
legal guidelines, playbooks, policies, and processes. You will
draft and negotiate deals to support marketing and sponsorship
initiatives.
Enterprise transactions : You will also review, draft and negotiate
agreements between our corporate functions and third parties that
they engage, such as agreements with universities, independent
professionals and other vendors. This can include grant agreements
for the Accenture Foundation and Accenture's service agreements
with non-profits.
Anti-corruption Compliance : We work very closely with Accenture's
anti-corruption compliance team. Leveraging their expertise, you
will assess proposed relationships with third parties to ensure
that the engagement does not create risks of non-compliance with
anti-corruption legislation, such as the FCPA. You will also assess
proposed gifts (generally non-monetary) to third-parties to ensure
that the gift meets Accenture's guidance.
Corporate Real Estate : Accenture operates from locations
throughout the US and you will support our corporate real estate
team and manage external counsel as we enter into, renegotiate and
terminate the lease agreements, SNDAs, architecture and build-out
agreements, and other related agreements for our US locations.
Corporate Entities : Accenture's complex US operations includes a
significant number of legal entities. Many of these are associated
with merger & acquisition activity. You will work with our
paralegal and global teams and our global Post Merger Integration
team to ensure these businesses maintain their corporate form and
continue to be appropriately registered to do business in the
US.
