The Massachusetts GRC market
Massachusetts punches above its weight in governance hiring. Boston and Cambridge concentrate asset managers, biotech and pharma, hospitals, and research universities, every one of them facing data privacy, model risk, and AI oversight questions. The biotech and health sectors drive heavy demand for compliance and privacy expertise, while the financial firms along the corridor need model governance and audit talent. It is a smaller market than New York or California, but a dense and sophisticated one.
Key sectors: asset management, biotech, healthcare, higher education, and technology. On the board now: 44 local and 0 remote-eligible jobs.
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.

Massachusetts GRC jobs: what the market looks like right now
A snapshot built from the 44 Massachusetts GRC roles currently on this page.
What these roles pay by level

| Senior / lead / manager | $166k | 6 |
| Director | $232k | 16 |
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, modeled, 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; executive / c-suite is present on this page but below that threshold, so no median is published for that band.
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 Advertised ranges tend to run wider than what is actually paid, and roles that do not publish a range are missing from the calculation entirely, which can bias the result upward.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 13-1041 — Compliance Officers, 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 Massachusetts GRC postings to be worth knowing: CGEIT, CRISC, AIGP, CISA. The certification academy covers what each one actually tests and who it is for.
