ABOUT INSPECTED
Inspected is a fast-growing, tech-enabled construction technology company revolutionizing remote inspections and permitting for the construction industry. We serve homebuilders, HVAC, solar, roofing, pool, and commercial and residential contractors across Florida, Texas, and Tennessee — with North Carolina and additional markets coming soon.
We are one of South Florida’s fastest-growing companies with 100% growth for three consecutive years. Our proprietary platform, Permit Hub, is transforming a process that once took months into one that takes days. This is a high-energy, high-growth environment where every team member makes a real and visible impact on our customers and our mission.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Compliance Lead provides day-to-day regulatory leadership for municipal registration, jurisdiction activation, multi-state expansion, and operational compliance. This position reviews legal and regulatory requirements, resolves workflow conflicts, approves activation readiness, directs escalations, and ensures that internal teams receive accurate and actionable guidance.
As Inspected expands rapidly into Texas and North Carolina, the Compliance Lead plays a critical role in ensuring every new jurisdiction is activated correctly, compliantly, and efficiently — and that the team has the structure, SOPs, and guidance to scale without introducing regulatory risk.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
Core duties and responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned.
Regulatory Leadership & Oversight
- Lead the daily work of the Research and Registration/Activation functions; maintain visibility into priorities, aging items, workload, and roadblocks
- Review state statutes, administrative rules, licensing requirements, reciprocity provisions, municipal ordinances, and jurisdictional procedures affecting company operations
- Evaluate municipal requests against applicable statutory authority and determine whether requirements are supported, unclear, duplicative, or appropriate for escalation
- Approve registration and activation workflows before a jurisdiction is made operational
- Prohibit activation when registration, documentation, statutory review, system configuration, or operational readiness is incomplete
- Monitor legislative and regulatory changes in current and expansion states and assess their impact on registration, plan review, inspections, reporting, scheduling, and closeout operations
Escalation & Resolution
- Direct higher-level outreach for municipal non-response, disputed requirements, rejected registrations, operational holds, or inconsistent procedures
- Develop professional statutory correspondence, escalation letters, clarification requests, and structured responses to municipal officials
- Maintain an escalation framework that identifies ownership, required documentation, contact history, risk level, deadlines, and resolution
- Provide final guidance on recurring registration and operational compliance issues and convert confirmed resolutions into standardized workflows
- Ensure the company operates only within its authorized scope; promptly escalate matters requiring legal counsel, licensed professionals, or emergency authorities
Expansion & Onboarding
- Coordinate new-state and new-jurisdiction onboarding including legal setup, licensing, registrations, insurance, approved forms, operational procedures, and internal launch readiness
- Ensure municipal records, master lists, Permit Hub settings, operational notes, forms, licenses, and insurance documents remain accurate and aligned
- Partner with inspection, plan review, customer service, scheduling, reporting, closeout, permitting, legal, and leadership teams to resolve compliance-related operational delays
- Identify patterns in municipal issues and implement long-term corrective actions, training, templates, and controls
SOPs, Reporting & Standards
- Maintain department SOPs, accountability standards, audit procedures, performance measures, and training requirements
- Review and approve internal communications before unresolved or sensitive compliance information is distributed broadly
- Provide management reporting on registrations, activations, aging items, escalations, regulatory risks, and expansion readiness
- Convert confirmed decisions into updated SOPs, templates, training, system notes, and audit controls
QUALIFICATIONS
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Required
- 5+ years of progressive experience in regulatory compliance, municipal permitting, licensing, construction administration, building-department operations, or a related field
- Supervisory, lead, or project-management experience overseeing multi-step regulatory or operational workflows
- Demonstrated ability to research and interpret statutes, administrative rules, ordinances, policies, and procedural requirements
- Strong professional writing, negotiation, escalation, and stakeholder-management skills
- Strong judgment with the ability to distinguish operational issues from regulatory, legal, safety, or licensure risks
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, CRM systems, Permit Hub or comparable operational platforms, and document-management systems
Preferred
- Working knowledge of Private Provider or third-party plan review and inspection programs, municipal registration, and construction permitting
- Experience managing compliance workflows across multiple states simultaneously
- Bilingual in English and Spanish
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
- Accuracy and timeliness of compliance determinations and activation approvals
- Age and resolution rate of municipal escalations and regulatory roadblocks
- Percentage of jurisdictions activated without preventable operational or documentation defects
- Timeliness of statutory and regulatory change implementation
- Accuracy of management reporting, SOPs, workflow guidance, and audit results
- Reduction in recurring registration, activation, and municipal-process issues
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
- Unlimited PTO policy

- Five or more years of experience in a compliance, regulatory, or risk management function
- Working knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks such as BSA, AML, HIPAA, GDPR, or SOX
- Experience conducting internal audits, investigations, or compliance assessments

Tips for Your Compliance Lead Job Search
Tailor your resume to the regulation
Compliance lead roles vary sharply by regulatory framework. A resume written for a BSA or AML role should foreground your SAR filing experience and CAMS credentials, while a healthcare compliance resume needs HIPAA audit history front and center. One generic document loses to a targeted one.
Quantify your program scope clearly
Hiring managers want to know how large a compliance function you ran. Name the number of policies you owned, the size of the team you led or coordinated, and the business lines you covered. Vague language like 'supported compliance initiatives' undersells hands-on program ownership.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists compliance lead openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by your license or certification
Many compliance lead postings list a CAMS, CCEP, or CFE as a preferred or required credential. Search for your certification by name to surface roles where you already meet the bar, rather than competing in a broader pool where unlicensed candidates are also applying.
Prepare a real case study for the interview
Compliance lead interviews almost always include a scenario question about a gap you found, a policy you rewrote, or an investigation you led. Prepare one concrete case with a specific trigger, your exact actions, and a measurable outcome. Abstract answers do not land well with compliance hiring panels.
Negotiate scope alongside the title
Before accepting an offer, confirm what the role actually owns: independent authority to escalate, a seat at risk committee meetings, and a direct reporting line to legal or the board. A lead title with no escalation path limits your growth and your impact.
Compliance Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most compliance leads?
The companies hiring the most compliance leads right now include JPMorganChase, Apple, and Deloitte, with the largest share of openings in New York, California, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Financial services, healthcare systems, and technology companies account for a significant portion of active postings.
How many compliance lead jobs are remote?
About 57% of compliance lead openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with remote work more common in data privacy, regulatory affairs, and policy-focused roles than in positions requiring on-site audits, investigations, or physical records management.
How do you become a compliance lead?
Most compliance leads start in specialist or analyst roles within a compliance, legal, or risk function and build experience with a specific regulatory framework such as AML, HIPAA, or SOX. Earning a recognized certification like the CAMS or CCEP strengthens your candidacy. From there, demonstrating that you can own a program end-to-end, including policy development, training, and audit response, is what moves you into a lead title.
Can you get hired as a compliance lead with limited experience?
Getting hired as a compliance lead with limited direct experience is possible if you can show deep subject-matter expertise in a specific regulation, a relevant certification, and at least some evidence of program ownership, even in a supporting role. Roles at smaller companies or in emerging compliance areas like data privacy or ESG reporting tend to have more flexible experience requirements than positions in heavily regulated industries like banking or pharmaceuticals.
What does the compliance lead interview process look like?
The compliance lead interview process typically starts with a recruiter screen focused on your regulatory background and certifications, followed by a panel or hiring manager interview that includes scenario-based questions about audits, policy gaps, or investigations you have handled. Some employers add a written exercise asking you to review a mock policy or draft a compliance memo. Final rounds often include a conversation with legal, a chief compliance officer, or a senior business stakeholder.
Where can I find and apply to compliance lead jobs?
