The New York City GRC market
New York is the center of gravity for governance, risk, and compliance hiring in the United States. The city's banks, asset managers, insurers, and broker-dealers carry the heaviest regulatory load in the country, which means the deepest bench of compliance, risk, audit, and financial-crime roles anywhere. Add a fast-growing AI sector in Manhattan and the work now runs from SEC and FINRA examinations to AI governance and model risk. Regulators in play include the SEC, FINRA, NYDFS, the Federal Reserve, and the CFPB.
Key sectors: banking, capital markets, insurance, media, and law. On the board now: 41 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.

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; director and executive / c-suite are present on this page but below that threshold, so no median is published for those bands.
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 Advertised ranges tend to run wider than what is actually paid, and roles that do not publish a range are missing from the calculation entirely, which can bias the result upward.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.
