Compliance officer (listed cos)
₹6–25 LPA
- Remote
- Varies
- Qualification
- Typically Company Secretary (CS).
What the work involves
Day to day
Making sure a listed company meets its regulatory and disclosure obligations - filings, board procedure, insider trading controls and liaison with regulators and exchanges.
Who this suits
Fit
Rule-oriented, meticulous people who are willing to say no to senior colleagues. Regulatory expectations have tightened steadily, which has raised both demand and the seniority of the role.
The honest reality
Read this one
The role carries personal liability for the company's lapses, which is a serious consideration. You are structurally the person slowing things down, so you will be unpopular. The regulatory framework changes constantly and ignorance is not a defence.
