United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented legal operations and compliance professional with a strong background in project management, supporting global legal, IT, and cross-functional initiatives. My experience includes streamlining processes, managing compliance audits, and regulatory reporting, which has equipped me with the skills necessary to optimize legal workflows and drive operational excellence.
Currently, I serve as a Legal Operations & Compliance Officer at Mamaket Inc., where I manage release documentation and internal governance records, ensuring readiness for internal launches and system onboarding. My role involves conducting vendor risk assessments and reviewing third-party contracts for compliance with security and regulatory requirements. I collaborate closely with legal, IT, and procurement teams to monitor vendor lifecycle and flag risk areas before operational rollouts.
Previously, I worked as Compliance Support in the IT PMO at DHL Freight GmbH, where I supported testing and validation efforts for compliance in IT project environments. I developed reports and dashboards for the CIO, highlighting project risks and recommending best practices to support informed decision-making. My legal background as a Legal Counsel in Nigeria has further strengthened my expertise in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) reporting, providing strategic insights on regulatory matters.
