We’ve seen tremendous traction and are growing extremely quickly. Our real-time APIs have helped verify hundreds of millions of identities, starting with financial services and rapidly expanding into new markets.

Head Of Compliance Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a head of compliance in Texas?
Most head of compliance roles in Texas require a bachelor's degree in law, finance, business, or a related field, typically followed by years of progressively senior compliance work. Texas does not issue a state-specific compliance license, but employers strongly favor credentials like the Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional from the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics or the Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager for banking roles. Industry background in energy, healthcare, or financial services is a meaningful differentiator in the Texas market.
How much do head of compliances make in Texas?
Head of compliances in Texas earn a median of about $75,370 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,170 for the lowest 10% to over $126,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire head of compliances in Texas?
Employers hiring head of compliances in Texas right now include Aptar, DLP Capital, and EnerMech, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of energy majors, regional and national banks, and large health systems means demand is consistent across the state's primary metros year-round.
Which Texas cities have the most head of compliance jobs?
Dallas, Austin, and Coppell have the most head of compliance openings in Texas. Houston's dominance reflects its position as the headquarters of major energy companies and a large concentration of regional banks, while Dallas drives demand through financial services, insurance, and corporate headquarters, and Austin's rapid technology sector growth has built a growing compliance function across fintech and healthcare technology firms.

Yes, and more than most fields. About 14% of head of compliance openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the desk-based and analytical nature of the work. Policy development, regulatory reporting, and program oversight translate well to remote formats, though roles requiring direct oversight of on-site operations or in-person regulatory examinations are more likely to require a physical presence.
How can I get hired as a head of compliance in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a compliance analyst or compliance coordinator role at a large Texas employer and building specialized expertise over time. Major Texas financial institutions, health systems like HCA Houston Healthcare, and energy companies often hire for junior compliance roles that feed into management tracks. Earning the Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional credential early signals commitment, and transitioning from adjacent roles in legal, audit, or risk management at Texas firms is a well-recognized path into the field.
