Role Overview This is a build-and-grow role. The organization is standing up a new Compliance function under the CFO, who is serving as interim Compliance Officer while continuing to run Fiscal and Payroll. This hire will initially split time between:
- Financial analysis - contributing directly to the fiscal team's workload
- Internal controls - designing, testing, and documenting controls as the foundation of the future compliance function
**Over time, this person is expected to grow into the Compliance Officer role, eventually taking that function off the CFO's plate entirely. This is not a fully scoped, static position - it's a role the candidate will help define as it grows.
Core Responsibilities
- Contribute directly to fiscal department financial analysis and reporting
- Assess current processes for control gaps and design initial internal control procedures
- Build documentation, testing protocols, and repeatable analytics to support both fiscal accuracy and future compliance requirements
- Support execution of the three compliance priorities above: build out the reporting/whistleblower infrastructure, assist with division-level training rollout, and stand up the subcontractor/vendor monitoring program (background check attestations, disclosure sheets, spot-check protocols)
- Partner with fiscal managers on a day-to-day basis - translating control findings into language that lands with an action-oriented team, not just technical write-ups
- Report to and work closely with the CFO/interim Compliance Officer during the buildout phase
- Build out training content and whistleblower messaging for distribution to divisions
- Create a straightforward, accessible reporting mechanism for concerns/violations
- Deliver compliance training at division locations, starting with priority sites and expanding
- Subcontractor and vendor monitoring
Required Technical Skills
• Advanced Excel (modeling, complex formulas, pivot-based analysis) - top-priority technical filter
• Financial analysis - variance analysis, reconciliations, forecasting support
• Coding/data skills (SQL, Python, or similar) - for control testing, data validation, and building repeatable analytics rather than manual spot-checks
- Familiarity with internal control frameworks (e.g., COSO) is a plus but not disqualifying if the analytical foundation is strong - this can be developed on the job as part of the groom-to-compliance-officer path
