legal and internal controls manager.

$110k - $130k per year

Randstad

Are you a strategic legal and risk professional who excels at balancing commercial growth with strong corporate governance? Do you bring hands-on expertise in commercial contract negotiation and internal control frameworks within an industrial or heavy equipment manufacturing environment? Then we might have the perfect opportunity for you!

We are currently hiring a Legal & Internal Controls Manager for a well-established, global industrial manufacturing organization. Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), this dynamic, hands-on leadership role owns commercial contracting, internal control frameworks established by the global parent company, corporate compliance, and overall business risk management. As a working leader, you will provide independent, objective advice to the executive management team, directly manage a two-person legal and contract support team, and serve as the critical bridge between commercial operations and corporate governance.

If you see yourself in this role and want to learn more about this opportunity, please apply to this job posting and reach out directly to View email address on randstad.com with your most updated resume, the job posting’s reference number, and a brief synopsis of why you feel you would be a great fit for the role.


Advantages
• Competitive base salary ranging from $110,000 to $130,000 annually.
• Annual bonus potential of 10% based on operating performance.
• Flexible hybrid work schedule (4 days in-office, 1 day WFH) with core business hours.
• Comprehensive company-paid health, dental, and vision benefit plan (100% employer-funded, excluding LTD).
• 5% RRSP/Pension program with a 5% matching employer contribution.
• 3 weeks of paid vacation to start (flexible), plus 5 personal paid days off (PTO).
• Highly visible role working closely with executive leadership (COO/CEO) and a global parent organization.
• Vibrant company culture with regular events, town halls, and team activities.

Responsibilities
Commercial Contract Management & Negotiation
• Lead the drafting, review, revision, and negotiation of domestic and international commercial contracts, customized standard terms and conditions, and complex commercial agreements.
• Manage critical material terms, including indemnification, limitation of liability, liquidating damages, warranties, IP rights, insurance requirements, termination clauses, and dispute resolution.
• Protect company exposure by managing custom customer terms, specifically evaluating spec accuracy and exposure around "fit for purpose" clauses.
• Establish and refine processes for contract review, approval, execution, digital record retention, and ongoing contractual obligation management.
• Serve as the primary point of escalation and collaboration for outside sales, application engineering, and aftermarket teams to negotiate terms constructively without delaying business velocity.

Internal Controls, Audit & Governance
• Plan, implement, and own the annual internal-control program established by the global parent organization end-to-end (documentation, testing, deficiency identification, remediation, and reporting).
• Evaluate business processes to eliminate control gaps, segregation of duties conflicts, unauthorized access, and operational exposures across Finance, HR, IT, Operations, and Sales.
• Coordinate internal and external audit requirements, ensuring audit findings are remediated and closed strictly on schedule with clear tracking.
• Manage corporate governance activities, including statutory filings, corporate resolutions, board record maintenance, and compliance with parent company mandates.
• Oversee corporate compliance and privacy initiatives (including data privacy response oversight in partnership with specialized direct reports).

Team Leadership & Management
• Provide leadership, coaching, and direction to a direct team of two (Compliance/Privacy Legal Advisor and Contracts Coordinator).
• Allocate daily work based on organizational risk, priority, and operational urgency while maintaining a hands-on approach to contract execution.
• Build technical depth within the team, establishing clear performance metrics, accountability, and technical independence.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, communicating complex legal, risk, and control matters in clear, practical business terms.

Qualifications
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Law, Business, Commerce, Finance, Accounting, or Risk Management. An advanced degree (LL.B, JD) or professional designation (CPA, CIA, CRM) is strongly preferred.
• Experience: Minimum 8 years of progressive experience across legal, commercial contracting, compliance, internal audit, or risk management.
• Leadership: Minimum 5 years of direct people management experience.
• Industry Focus: Solid background in industrial, equipment, or heavy manufacturing contracting (experience with custom terms, liquidating damages, and liability caps is required).
• Technical Depth: Proven ownership of an end-to-end internal control program within a parent-subsidiary or multinational corporate structure.
• Software: Strong proficiency with MS Office (Word, Excel) and familiarity with CRM systems (such as Microsoft Dynamics 365).
• Background Fit: Purely litigation, regulatory enforcement, or dispute-resolution backgrounds will not be considered; hands-on commercial contracting and internal control execution are required.
