What are the responsibilities and job description for the Marketing Compliance Specialist (Contract) position at Ascension Global Staffing & Executive Search?
Our client, a global consumer brand, is seeking a Marketing Compliance Specialist to join their Marketing organization as an embedded Legal liaison. This is a hands-on, high-visibility contract role for a candidate who can move fluidly between creative teams and legal oversight — reviewing marketing materials for regulatory and risk exposure while keeping campaigns moving.
This is a fully onsite position based in Boca Raton, FL. Onsite presence is a firm requirement and is not negotiable.
Engagement Details
- Duration: Approximately six months, structured on a quarterly basis, running through the end of 2026
- Location: Onsite, Boca Raton, FL office
- Start Date: Immediate
- Level: Open to either an experienced paralegal or a mid-level attorney — budget is the primary driver, not title. Paralegal candidates should ideally bring prior hands-on compliance review experience, though the right candidate can be trained.
Core Responsibilities
Review and compliance-clear marketing creative and promotional materials against internal brand guidelines and applicable regulatory requirements, including:
- Press release copy
- Sweepstakes and promotions, including official rules and state registration
- Creative copy
- Audiovisual commercials and commercial storyboards
- Creative decks
- Website copy and imagery
- Point-of-sale materials and sell sheets
The individual will assess assets primarily against U.S. advertising and promotions requirements (with some Canadian review as needed), flag claims and disclosure risk, and serve as the day-to-day compliance point of contact embedded within Marketing — escalating to Legal as appropriate.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience in marketing compliance review
- Familiarity with FTC advertising standards and FDA guidelines as they relate to food and beverage marketing
- Beverage industry background strongly preferred
- Comfortable operating within a marketing team while reporting into and under the oversight of Legal
- Strong judgment, discretion, and ability to manage competing priorities under deadline pressure
