Job description

We’re committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

The Manager, Corporate Compliance, is responsible for the day-to-day execution of Cisive’s Corporate Compliance Program and serves as the Company’s principal subject matter expert on background screening and consumer reporting compliance.
