Join a highly visible, enterprise-wide compliance role where you’ll partner directly with Legal and HR leadership to shape and strengthen regulatory strategy. This is an ideal opportunity for a compliance professional looking to broaden scope across RIA, ERISA, insurance, and corporate governance. You’d be working with a stable organization, in a collaborative work environment, which offers great benefits (100% healthcare for employee) and they work a hybrid schedule! There is a great deal of autonomy in this role and the opportunity to make this position your own with interactions amongst the entire company.


Compliance Specialist – Regulatory / HR


Salary: $100,000 – $125,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Direct exposure to General Counsel and senior HR leadership, offering strong career visibility

  • Broad, multi-disciplinary compliance scope (RIA, ERISA, HR, insurance, privacy, governance) – expand your expertise quickly

  • Opportunity to play a central role in building and enhancing a company-wide compliance program

  • High-impact position with ownership over key filings, audits, and regulatory interactions

  • Hands-on involvement in risk assessments and compliance strategy, not just execution

  • Stable, mission-driven organization with structured processes and long-term focus

  • Autonomy in your day-to-day work with support from executive leadership

  • Exposure to cross-functional teams across legal, HR, finance, and operations


Key Responsibilities for the Compliance Specialist – Regulatory / HR:



  • Manage regulatory filings and compliance documentation across RIA, ERISA, and insurance programs

  • Oversee HR compliance processes including personnel files, wage/hour alignment, and employment regulations

  • Track and manage contract lifecycle, vendor compliance, and related documentation

  • Support privacy compliance including data requests, opt-outs, and recordkeeping

  • Maintain governance records, entity registrations, and corporate compliance documentation

  • Assist with audits, risk assessments, and ongoing compliance program monitoring


Qualifications for the Compliance Specialist – Regulatory / HR:



  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Legal Studies, HR, or related field

  • 5+ years of compliance or related experience

  • Knowledge of SEC/RIA, ERISA, insurance/MEWA, employment, or privacy regulations
