Director, Global Compliance

Job Description

Harbor is seeking a Director of Global Compliance to establish, lead, and continuously evolve the Company's global compliance function.

Reporting directly to the General Counsel, this is a rare opportunity to build a critical enterprise capability from the ground up. The Director will create the governance, policies, controls, and operating framework necessary to support a rapidly growing global organization while ensuring compliance remains a strategic business enabler rather than an administrative function.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating scalable infrastructure while remaining actively involved in the day-to-day work required to operate an effective compliance program. As the sole compliance leader, this individual will be expected to personally develop policies, conduct investigations, implement processes, deliver training, build reporting, support acquisitions, and partner closely with leaders across the business.

Success in this role requires strong business judgment, operational excellence, and a pragmatic approach to balancing appropriate risk management with Harbor's entrepreneurial, acquisition-focused growth strategy. This is a remote position that can be worked from anywhere in the USA (EST/CST preferred).
