Legal / Compliance Manager

Job Overview

This role is for a Legal and Compliance Manager who can build and maintain the guardrails. You'll be the central point for interpreting regulations, managing risk, and ensuring operational integrity across the business. It's a position where your work directly prevents problems before they happen. The role is based in Albuquerque, NM.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and update compliance policies and procedures tailored to the organization's specific risks.
• Conduct regular internal audits and risk assessments, then present clear findings and action plans to leadership.
• Manage the response to any regulatory inquiries or examinations, coordinating across departments to gather necessary information.
• Oversee the company's ethics and compliance training program, ensuring it's relevant and actually understood by employees.
• Review marketing materials, contracts, and new business initiatives for compliance with state and federal laws.
• Stay ahead of regulatory changes that could impact the business, translating complex legalese into practical operational guidance.

• Certifications like CCEP or CRCM are a significant plus.

What It's Like In This Role

You'll work closely with legal counsel, internal audit, and department heads.
