Job description

Compliance rarely makes headlines, but it quietly decides whether an organization's IT operations survive an audit, a breach attempt, or a regulator's phone call. We're hiring a Remote IT Compliance Manager to take ownership of that work across our global operations, working with teams spread across time zones to keep systems secure, documented, and audit-ready.

The Role, in Plain Terms

This is a full-time position designed for someone who already understands how compliance operates in a distributed IT environment — not someone learning the basics on the job. You'll be the person stakeholders turn to when a new regulation lands, when an audit is scheduled, or when a system needs a second look before it goes live. It's remote by design, which means clear communication and independent judgement matter as much as technical know-how.

What Lands on Your Desk

• Assessing IT systems and infrastructure against relevant regulatory and industry standards
• Designing and rolling out compliance strategies that hold up across multiple business units
• Leading remote audits from planning through to final reporting
• Building and maintaining compliance policies that are actually usable, not just filed away
• Running risk assessments and flagging exposure before it becomes a problem
• Partnering with engineering, security, and operations teams to fold compliance into everyday workflows rather than bolting it on afterward
• Watching for shifts in relevant regulations and turning them into clear, actionable steps the wider team can follow

What You Bring

We're looking for someone with hands-on experience managing IT compliance in a remote or hybrid environment, ideally with exposure to frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or GDPR, depending on the markets involved. Strong audit experience is essential — you should be comfortable leading one from scratch, not just supporting someone else's process. Solid written communication matters too, since a good chunk of this role happens over documentation and async updates rather than face-to-face meetings.

Professionals actively exploring a remote IT compliance manager role or searching for a compliance vacancy near me that doesn't require relocation will find this role designed exactly for that kind of flexibility. It also suits candidates tracking IT compliance hiring trends for 2026, where remote-first governance roles are becoming increasingly common.

Nice-to-Haves

• A recognized certification such as CISA, CRISC, or a relevant risk-management credential
• Prior experience working with international or multi-region compliance requirements
• Familiarity with GRC tools and IT risk-assessment software
• Experience presenting audit findings to leadership or external regulators

Why This Role Is Worth Your Time

The salary sits at $60,000 per year, and the role comes with a genuinely global scope — you won't be confined to a single office's compliance calendar. At Naukri Mitra, we focus on connecting the right talent with the right opportunity, and this listing is a good example of that: a role with real decision-making authority, not just a checklist to work through. There's room to shape how compliance is handled as the company scales, which is rare for a position at this level.

How the Team Works

Expect a culture built around ownership rather than oversight. Meetings are kept to a minimum; updates are provided in writing, and decisions are documented so anyone across the team can pick up context without a call. You'll work closely with a small group of IT and security colleagues who value precision over speed for its own sake. If you'd rather trusted to manage your own priorities than checked in on daily, this environment will suit you well.
