• Use SQL to support data analysis and help streamline or automate manual compliance processes.
• Contribute to ad-hoc compliance projects, including audits, regulatory reviews, and system enhancements.

Compensation

Base Salary: $85,000–$120,000 per year, depending on experience. Actual offer will reflect your specific skills, years of relevant experience, and fit for the role. It is unlikely that all new hires will start at the top of this range.
