Compliance Specialist
Moss Consulting · HR Services
Hybrid — Austin, TX | Full-Time | $21–$25/hour, DOE
At Moss Consulting, our clients count on us to help them navigate a maze of state and federal compliance requirements. Our Compliance Specialist will be the one to make that happen. If you're the kind of person who enjoys tracking down the right answer, keeping ten moving pieces organized, and following through until every box is truly checked, we'd love to talk to you.
About the Role
The Compliance Specialist provides specialized compliance, registration, documentation, and administrative support to Moss Consulting HR Services and their clients. You'll support multiple client accounts under the direction of multiple HR Managers (HRMs), while independently owning the execution, tracking, follow-up, and completion of your assigned compliance work.
You'll work directly with clients, state and federal agencies, insurance brokers, carriers, sureties, general contractors, project administrators, third-party administrators, and other outside parties to make sure required registrations, certificates, filings, forms, reporting, and compliance documentation get completed accurately and on time.
Beyond client work, you'll also be an internal compliance resource for Moss — monitoring regulatory developments, flagging changes that could affect Moss or its clients, maintain internal compliance resources, and help keep the team informed and prepared.
This isn't a transactional, check-the-box role. You'll be expected to understand the requirement, figure out what's needed, run the right process, spot gaps or risks, drive follow-up, document the outcome, and know when to loop in an expert.
