Compliance Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a compliance professional in Massachusetts?

Most compliance roles in Massachusetts require a bachelor's degree in business, finance, law, or a related field, followed by industry-specific credentials. For financial services roles, the Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM) or CCEP designation is widely recognized by Massachusetts employers. Healthcare compliance professionals often pursue the Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) credential through the Health Care Compliance Association. Massachusetts does not issue a standalone state compliance license, but sector-specific certifications are effectively required for mid-level and senior roles.

How much do compliances make in Massachusetts?

Compliances in Massachusetts earn a median of about $102,060 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,340 for the lowest 10% to over $161,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire compliance professionals in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring compliances in Massachusetts right now include Whoop, Baystate Health, and Takeda Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of financial services firms, major hospital networks, and life sciences companies means consistent compliance hiring across multiple industries throughout the year.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most compliance jobs?

Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham have the most compliance openings in Massachusetts. Boston dominates the market because it anchors the state's financial services, biotech, and healthcare industries, while Cambridge draws heavily from its pharma and research institutions, and Worcester's large hospital systems and insurance employers generate steady regional demand.

Are there remote compliance jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 88% of compliance openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the work centers on policy review, documentation, and regulatory reporting rather than on-site activity. Financial services and corporate compliance roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while roles requiring physical audits or on-site regulatory inspections are more likely to be in-person.

How can I get hired as a compliance professional in Massachusetts with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is through a compliance analyst or compliance coordinator role, which large Massachusetts employers in financial services and healthcare regularly post as junior positions. Firms like Fidelity Investments and major hospital networks such as Partners HealthCare-affiliated institutions offer rotational or structured onboarding programs for new graduates. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in legal, audit, risk, or quality assurance transition well. Earning a CCEP or enrolling in a compliance certificate program at a Massachusetts college strengthens an application considerably without prior direct experience.

Where can I find and apply to compliance jobs in Massachusetts?

You can find and apply to compliance jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings across financial services, healthcare, life sciences, and corporate sectors. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly through the listings on this page.
