We are currently seeking a talented Information Security Officer to play a vital role in our dynamic and close-knit team within the Information Security Office. In this essential position, you will lead initiatives to protect our digital resources, developing and implementing innovative security strategies to effectively mitigate risks. Your expertise will contribute to our mission of maintaining a secure and resilient environment for education, research, and healthcare.
The Information Security Office is a high-profile team, and is one of the few departments with university-wide purview, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to share and shine. We operate with a high degree of autonomy, expecting each of our contributors to bring their own special talents to bear on the tough challenges facing the university.
The Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team within the Information Security Office is an innovative, newly-formed team with an entrepreneurial spirit, and we invite you to help us grow while advancing your own career.

- Support the monitoring of security controls and risk management practices, regularly evaluating the effectiveness of existing security measures.
- Help prepare and maintain documentation related to security policies, procedures, and compliance efforts, including risk assessments and operational reports.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including IT, Finance, Human Resources, and Legal, to integrate information security into the organization's overall risk management program.
- Keep abreast of industry trends, emerging threats, and evolving regulatory requirements to inform security practices and compliance strategies. Perform any other related duties assigned to support the organization's information security program.

Tips for Your Remote Compliance Associate Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote compliance associate openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Remote postings often close fast, so checking frequently and acting early improves your chances.
Show async communication skills concretely
Remote compliance teams rely on written communication for policy walkthroughs, regulatory updates, and audit documentation. Highlight experience drafting compliance memos, creating SOPs, or summarizing regulatory changes in writing, since remote hiring managers treat writing samples as a proxy for on-the-job performance.
Demonstrate proficiency with remote compliance tools
Name the GRC platforms, document management systems, and case-tracking tools you have used, such as LogicGate, Riskonnect, or similar. Remote employers move faster when your application shows you can operate their tech stack without an in-person onboarding ramp-up.
Signal self-direction in your work history
Remote compliance roles require managing regulatory deadlines, monitoring updates, and escalating issues without a manager physically nearby. Call out specific instances where you owned a compliance workstream or audit cycle independently, since that evidence directly answers the main concern remote hiring teams have about entry-level candidates.
Remote Compliance Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote compliance associate job?
Start by targeting companies that already run distributed compliance teams, including fintech firms, healthcare technology companies, and SaaS businesses with regulated products. Remote employers screen for strong written communication, the ability to manage deadlines without supervision, and familiarity with compliance tools like GRC platforms and document management systems. Certifications such as CRCM or CCEP can sharpen your profile for remote roles where credentials substitute for in-person credibility.
Which companies hire remote compliance associates?
Remote compliance associate roles are posted by Oscar Health, Rain, and Ankura and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first companies, large distributed enterprises, and financial services or healthcare technology firms that run compliance programs across multiple jurisdictions without centralizing staff.
Can you get a remote compliance associate job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level compliance roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal oversight. Companies most likely to hire entry-level remotely include smaller fintech startups and compliance consulting firms. You can strengthen your candidacy by completing a recognized compliance certification, building familiarity with regulatory frameworks like BSA or HIPAA, and showing evidence of self-directed project work in past roles or coursework.
Do you need a degree for remote compliance associate jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated regulatory knowledge, relevant certifications, and practical experience with compliance processes over a specific degree. Certifications from ACAMS, SCCE, or similar bodies carry real weight in hiring decisions, particularly at companies that prioritize skill verification. A background in a regulated industry, combined with working knowledge of compliance software and documentation practices, can open doors even without a four-year degree.
