Fortune Brands Innovations is seeking a strategic and operationally strong Senior Director of Compliance to build and lead our first enterprise-wide Compliance function. This newly established role will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maturing a comprehensive compliance and ethics program that aligns with FBIN’s operational footprint across its portfolio of leading brands in water, outdoors, and security.

Today, compliance activities are distributed across Legal, Internal Audit, and business functions. The Senior Director of Compliance will unify these efforts and establish a cohesive, scalable framework that reinforces FBIN’s culture of integrity, supports sustainable growth, and ensures compliance with domestic and international regulatory requirements.

The leader in this role will work closely with senior executives, business unit leadership, the Audit Committee, and cross‑functional stakeholders to embed compliance and risk‑based decision making throughout the enterprise.

What you will be doing:

• Architect FBIN’s enterprise compliance strategy and multi‑year roadmap, tailored to a consumer‑driven, multi‑brand manufacturing and distribution environment.
• Create and operationalize a compliance governance model that aligns roles and accountability across Legal, Internal Audit, HR, Operations, Supply Chain, and business units.
• Develop an FBIN‑specific compliance framework consistent with DOJ guidance and leading standards (COSO, ISO 37301).
• Establish enterprise policies, procedures, and controls, including the FBIN Code of Conduct and related compliance standards.

• Build and lead FBIN’s compliance risk assessment processes across global operations, with focus areas such as anti‑corruption, product compliance, trade compliance, environmental and safety‑related regulatory requirements, and third‑party risk.
• Design monitoring, testing, and assurance processes to evaluate compliance effectiveness.
• Create executive‑level and Board reporting mechanisms, including KPIs, incident trends, and maturity dashboards.

• Develop and maintain clear, practical compliance policies that resonate across FBIN’s diverse employee and operational base.
• Build an enterprise training strategy that addresses general compliance obligations and targeted regulatory topics relevant to FBIN’s business (e.g., anti‑bribery, product safety, privacy, third‑party management).
• Drive communications that reinforce FBIN’s commitment to integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct throughout the organization.

• Implement and manage FBIN’s ethics and compliance reporting system and related investigation processes.
• Partner with Legal and Internal Audit on investigations, ensuring consistent triage, documentation, remediation, and escalation.
• Facilitate root cause and trend analysis and oversee corrective action planning.
