The Per Scholas Compliance Team seeks a detailed-oriented team member to work collaboratively with the Senior Director to own the full lifecycle of organizational compliance projects. The Compliance Manager ensures our 24+ campuses obtain and maintain license, or exemption from licensure, as required by the state, directly supporting our annual organizational growth. Additionally, the Compliance Manager will be responsible for obtaining and renewing our Veteran Administration (VA) and Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) status in each region as needed.

Under the direction of the Senior Director, this role will manage projects and team initiatives, including supporting internal recordkeeping and auditing processes, assisting with audits, executing assigned research, helping create and update cross-functional resources, and maintaining internal team policies and tracking workflows.
