Job description

An established, multi-location organization is looking for a Senior Compliance Analyst to help build and strengthen a growing corporate compliance function. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants more ownership than a traditional compliance or audit position and enjoys figuring out how processes, policies, controls, and systems can work better.

During the first year, the position will be heavily focused on developing the company's compliance infrastructure. As the program matures, the role will expand further into operational auditing, risk assessments, and internal controls.

This is not a position where you'll simply follow an existing checklist. You'll be expected to understand a business problem, identify the risks, develop an approach, collaborate with the appropriate teams, and help implement practical solutions.

What You'll Work On

• Help develop and implement a more structured company-wide compliance program.
• Draft, review, organize, and maintain corporate policies and procedures, improving consistency and accessibility across the organization.
• Partner with business leaders to roll out policies, communicate expectations, and support compliance training.
• Take ownership of compliance projects from initial planning through implementation and follow-up.
• Evaluate business processes to identify risks, control gaps, and opportunities to improve efficiency.
• Work with IT, Finance, Operations, and external partners on system implementations and process changes.
• Review system controls involving user access, permissions, segregation of duties, automated controls, and configuration.
• Participate in user acceptance testing and evaluate whether new systems and workflows support business and compliance requirements.
• Conduct operational and compliance audits, including developing testing approaches rather than relying exclusively on established audit programs.
• Document findings clearly and provide practical recommendations to business leaders.
• Support risk assessments and help determine where future compliance and audit resources should be focused.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related discipline.
• Approximately 3+ years of relevant experience in compliance, internal audit, risk advisory, public accounting, internal controls, or a related area.
• Ability to independently manage projects and determine appropriate next steps with limited supervision.
• Strong business writing and documentation skills.
• Experience evaluating business processes, risks, and internal controls.
• Exposure to policy development, process mapping, operational auditing, compliance testing, or process improvement.
• Interest in technology and how systems affect business processes and controls.
• Experience with system implementations, IT controls, UAT, access controls, or configuration reviews is helpful but not required.
• CPA, CIA, CISA, or similar professional certifications are welcomed but are not required.
• Yardi Voyager experience is beneficial but not necessary.

Why Consider It?

This position offers the chance to build rather than simply maintain. You'll work closely with leadership, gain exposure across multiple business functions, and take ownership of projects that would often sit with more senior professionals in a larger organization.

The environment is highly autonomous and designed for someone who is curious, proactive, and comfortable taking initiative. The organization offers a three-day onsite/two-day remote hybrid schedule and generally maintains a 35–45 hour workweek.

For someone looking to broaden their experience across compliance, internal audit, systems controls, and process improvement, this role provides a strong platform for continued career growth.
