Risk Compliance Analyst Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a risk compliance analyst in New York?
Most risk compliance analyst roles in New York require a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business, or a related field. No state-issued license is mandatory for the role itself, but employers in New York's banking and financial services sector strongly favor candidates who hold or are pursuing certifications such as the CRCM from the American Bankers Association or the CAMS for anti-money-laundering work. Familiarity with New York State Department of Financial Services regulations is a practical advantage.
How much do risk compliance analysts make in New York?
Risk compliance analysts in New York earn a median of about $90,080 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $53,330 for the lowest 10% to over $142,370 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire risk compliance analysts in New York?
Employers hiring risk compliance analysts in New York right now include Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Goldman Sachs, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's concentration of global bank headquarters, insurance carriers, and asset managers means hiring volume is consistently high relative to other states.
Which New York cities have the most risk compliance analyst jobs?
New York, Buffalo, and Getzville have the most risk compliance analyst openings in New York. New York City dominates because it is home to the headquarters and major offices of the country's largest banks, insurers, and financial institutions, while Buffalo and Albany see steady demand from regional banks, insurance carriers, and state government agencies that maintain compliance functions outside the city.
Are there remote risk compliance analyst jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 28% of risk compliance analyst openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the desk-based, analytical nature of the work. Policy review, regulatory reporting, and risk monitoring tasks are the functions most likely to be performed remotely, while roles that require direct coordination with trading floors or on-site audits tend to remain in-person.
How can I get hired as a risk compliance analyst in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a compliance coordinator or risk analyst associate role at a mid-size bank or insurance carrier, where structured training programs exist for new graduates. Large New York institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup run formal early-career rotational programs in compliance and risk. Lateral moves from adjacent roles in internal audit, operations, or financial analysis are common, and earning a CAMS or enrolling in a CRCM certification course signals seriousness to New York hiring managers before you have direct experience.
Where can I find and apply to risk compliance analyst jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to risk compliance analyst jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and beyond. Search the listings, find roles that fit your background and target location, and apply directly.
