Position Type: Hourly, Full Time

Compensation: starts at $20 per hour

About the Role:

We're looking for a highly organized and detail-oriented Compliance Assistant to join our team in an entry-level capacity. This is a hands-on apprenticeship designed to provide real-world training in regulatory compliance, security frameworks (like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA), and internal operations.

This is a highly competitive role within our apprenticeship program, offering a fast-track pathway to becoming a full-time Compliance Analyst or Security Analyst for top-performing candidates.

What You'll Do:

• Support our compliance team with day-to-day administrative task
• Help review, track, and organize documentation related to audits, policies, and internal control
• Assist with client onboarding, evidence collection, and monitoring workflow
• Learn how to use leading compliance platforms and tool
• Collaborate with consultants and senior team members to ensure deadlines are met

What We're Looking For:

• A strong interest in compliance, cybersecurity, legal, or operations
• 4-year college degree or 4 years of continuous work experience in a professional, client-facing role
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
• Ability to follow structured processes and learn quickly
• No prior experience in compliance required - we will train you

Career Path:

This is a 12-month paid apprenticeship program at $20/hour, with a clear track to a full-time salaried Compliance Coordinator or Analyst role upon successful completion.

We're upfront about who we are: a fast-paced, high-growth startup where expectations are high and the learning curve is steep. This is a 100% in-person role, and while the official schedule is full-time, success here often requires going beyond the typical 40-hour workweek, especially for those looking to grow quickly into analyst positions.

Not a Fit If:

• You're looking for a strict 9-to-5 schedule with minimal flexibility
• You feel uncomfortable in high-pressure or fast-paced environments
• You prefer not to work in a highly professional, client-facing role
• You're not excited about being part of a high-growth, in-person startup culture
• You're looking for a role with minimal expectations beyond basic responsibilities

Benefits:

We believe in rewarding hard work with meaningful perks that support your growth, health, and well-being.

• 10 days of paid time off (PTO)
• 11 paid federal holidays
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Monthly healthcare stipend
