Job and Career Growth

Compliance managers sit at the junction of service, audit, and risk. They provide the legal and compliance scaffolding. This scaffolding creates diligent and rule-following cultures within financial institutions.

As such, compliance-trained professionals have many opportunities. They can explore risk management, business operations, and more.

Yet, a segue into finance or law is the most popular career move, both into and out of compliance-specific managerial roles. Those two fields are where compliance most naturally aligns and where responsibilities collide. Respected compliance managers will show all the hallmarks of a diligent, ethical professional. They will have a strong appreciation for financial law.

This advances a career beyond finance if candidates wish. A compliance manager’s duties also include corporate operations and finance. They cover audits and senior risk in tech. They are seeking new opportunities.
