Compliance Manager

SUMMARY

The Compliance Manager will play a critical, hands-on role in establishing and managing our

company's compliance framework during a pivotal time of transition. This is not a typical

corporate role; it is a unique opportunity to build and shape the financial integrity of a newly

independent company from the ground up. The ideal candidate is a seasoned, mature

professional with the dedication to navigate a dynamic workload, which may include overtime to

meet business goals. This position has significant potential to grow into a senior leadership

role as the company expands.

• Compliance Framework Development:


Establish, implement, and manage a robust

compliance program covering key financial and operational risks tailored to our new

Develop and oversee controls for payroll processing

and treasury functions, ensuring accuracy, security, and adherence to all regulatory

requirements.
• 401K Management:


Manage 401K related activities.
• Audit Coordination:


Act as the central point of contact for all internal and external

audits. You will be responsible for preparing documentation, managing auditor requests,

and driving the implementation of any necessary corrective actions.
• Insurance Program Management:


Coordinate the company's insurance policies and

risk management programs, ensuring appropriate coverage is in place for a standalone

entity.
• Policy & Procedure Implementation:


Draft, document, and enforce financial policies

and internal controls, ensuring they are practical for a fast-paced business environment.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:


Work closely with HR, Legal, and Operations to

ensure compliance standards are understood and embedded throughout the company.
