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

- 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

- Accuracy and timeliness of compliance determinations and activation approvals

Compliance Lead Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a compliance lead in Florida?
A bachelor's degree in business, finance, law, or a related field is the standard starting point for a compliance lead role in Florida. Florida does not issue a single state license for compliance leads, but employers in regulated industries such as banking, insurance, and healthcare strongly prefer certifications recognized in the state, including the Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP) or the Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM). Building experience in audit, risk, or a regulated industry role is the most direct path.
How much do compliance leads make in Florida?
Compliance leads in Florida earn a median of about $74,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $44,130 for the lowest 10% to over $127,420 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire compliance leads in Florida?
Employers hiring compliance leads in Florida right now include JPMorganChase, CAE, and Gemini, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's density of large financial institutions, regional insurers, and major hospital systems means compliance hiring stays consistent throughout the year across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most compliance lead jobs?
Clearwater, Miami, and Tampa have the most compliance lead openings in Florida. Miami's concentration of international banks, financial services firms, and insurance companies drives much of the demand, while Tampa is a hub for regional financial institutions and large healthcare networks, and Jacksonville's growing banking sector and corporate headquarters contribute a steady share of postings.
Are there remote compliance lead jobs in Florida?
Yes, and more than many fields, since compliance analysis, policy review, and regulatory reporting are largely desk-based functions that translate well to remote work. About 50% of compliance lead openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how widely distributed compliance teams have become in financial services and healthcare. Roles that require on-site audits or direct oversight of physical operations tend to be in-person, while policy, monitoring, and advisory roles are the most likely to be remote.
How can I get hired as a compliance lead in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into compliance from an adjacent role in audit, legal support, risk analysis, or operations at a Florida bank, insurer, or hospital system. Large Florida employers such as AdventHealth, Raymond James, and Florida Blue regularly bring on compliance analysts and associates who transition from internal roles rather than hiring exclusively from outside. Earning an entry-level certification such as the CCEP or completing a compliance certificate program from a Florida university can sharpen a resume before applying for associate-level compliance positions.
Where can I find and apply to compliance lead jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to compliance lead jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to the ones that match.
