International GRC Jobs (2026): 157 Open Risk & Compliance Jobs

GRC does not stop at the US border. As GDPR, the EU AI Act, and a growing list of national privacy and AI laws reshape how global companies operate, the demand for governance, privacy, and compliance talent outside the US is climbing fast. These are the roles based in Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Asia, or built to cover cross-border obligations from anywhere. If you want to work where the rules are being written right now, look past the map of the US.

Compliance Officer paystats as of Q2 2026

BLS put the 2024 median at $78,420. In 2026, market trackers show averages from roughly $99,000 to $120,000, with the top quartile above $160,000. Financial centers and senior governance roles sit at the top of that range.

Senior / lead / manager	$145k	9

How these figures were calculated, and sources

Primary source: our own board. Every figure above is the median midpoint of the salary ranges published in the live postings on this page. Nothing is estimated, modelled, or carried over from a previous month. It is recalculated each time the board refreshes.

What is included. Only postings that publish a salary range. Hourly, weekly and monthly rates are annualised (2,080 hours, 52 weeks, 12 months). Ranges below $20,000 a year are excluded as data-entry placeholders. A seniority band is shown only when at least five postings support it.

What this is not. These are advertised ranges, not accepted offers. Advertised ranges tend to run wider than what is actually paid, and roles that do not publish a range are missing from the calculation entirely, which can bias the result upward.

For an independent benchmark, compare against the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for SOC 13-2054 — Financial Risk Specialists, published annually at bls.gov/oes. BLS reports actual wages across all employers rather than advertised ranges, so its medians normally sit below job-board figures.

Certifications that come up most

None of these are universally required, but they appear often enough in International GRC postings to be worth knowing: FRM, PRM, CRISC, CRMA. The certification academy covers what each one actually tests and who it is for.
