Remote Compliance Manager jobs

7 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Compliance managers make sure a company follows the laws, regulations and standards that apply to its business. They are responsible for the compliance program in practice: assessing where the risks are, writing policies, monitoring and testing whether controls work, training employees, and handling audits and regulator inquiries. The rules in question depend on the industry, from financial regulation to healthcare privacy to security frameworks.

About the Compliance Manager role

What the work looks like

  • Carry out risk assessments and map applicable regulations to internal policies and controls.
  • Write and update policies and procedures and run compliance training for employees and managers.
  • Test controls, collect evidence and track remediation of findings in a GRC tool.
  • Coordinate external audits, certifications and regulatory examinations and prepare the company's written responses.
  • Investigate reported incidents and advise business teams on whether new products or processes meet requirements.

What employers ask for

  • Knowledge of the relevant regulatory framework
  • Frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or BSA/AML
  • Certification such as CCEP, CAMS, CHC or CISA
  • Policy writing and control testing
  • Audit and regulatory examination management
  • GRC or compliance automation software

Doing this job remotely

Policy work, control testing and audit preparation are document-driven and commonly done remotely, with evidence collected through shared systems. Audit and examination periods bring fixed deadlines and heavier hours. Some regulated employers, particularly in financial services and healthcare, limit remote hiring to certain states or require occasional on-site presence for examinations.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Compliance managers typically start as compliance analysts, auditors, paralegals or operations staff in a regulated business. From here the path runs to senior manager, director of compliance and chief compliance officer, or into risk management and internal audit leadership.
