The Compliance Analyst is responsible for ensuring that client insurance requirements are met and maintained across assigned accounts. The role reviews Certificates of Insurance and coverage documentation against established compliance criteria and client requirements, manages renewal tracking and certificate follow-up, and coordinates with insurance agents, management companies, and other external partners to obtain and correct documentation. Operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment, the Compliance Analyst reviews and interprets insurance policies against required standards, documents deficiencies, escalates complex or non-standard issues to senior compliance colleagues, and prepares monitoring reports for internal and client review. The role protects the interests of the firm and its clients by working accurately within established procedures and maintaining audit-ready documentation.

Primary Responsibilities

• Coverage Review & Compliance Monitoring - Review project and account insurance coverage against the requirements outlined in client agreements, using established compliance criteria and checklists.

Upload and maintain current Certificates of Insurance for compliant policies within the client’s document management system.
• Partner Coordination & Escalation - Collaborate with insurance agents and management companies to obtain corrected documentation and resolve routine non-compliant coverage issues. Serve as a point of contact for standard coverage-compliance questions from clients and external partners, escalating complex or unresolved matters as needed.
• Reporting & Documentation - Prepare and submit monthly reports summarizing monitoring activities, including outstanding certificates and properties that are not in compliance with insurance requirements. Maintain accurate, audit-ready records of compliance status, partner communications, and resolution actions.
