The Institutional Compliance department at MD Anderson Cancer Center plays a vital role in ensuring the organization operates with integrity, transparency, and adherence to regulatory and ethical standards. This team partners closely with faculty, leadership, and departments across the institution to support conflict of interest management, export control compliance, and institutional regulatory oversight in support of the organization’s mission.

This Senior Compliance Analyst role offers the opportunity to work in a highly collaborative and detail-oriented environment while serving as a key resource for compliance-related analysis, review, and guidance. This position is ideal for an experienced compliance professional who can work independently, navigate complex regulatory matters, and serve as a knowledgeable resource and mentor to other team members.

In this role, you will conduct comprehensive reviews of Conflict of Interest (COI) disclosures, ensuring compliance with institutional policies, federal regulations, and system guidelines. You will coordinate with faculty, staff, and stakeholders across the institution to identify, evaluate, and manage potential conflicts while supporting processes related to management plans, committee meetings, annual certifications, and database oversight.

You will also support Institutional Conflict of Interest and Export Control compliance activities, assisting with the coordination and implementation of management plans and reviewing export-related matters to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This includes reviewing forms, sponsored research activities, and responding to inquiries regarding export control regulations and institutional policies.

Additionally, this role will support compliance investigations and international collaboration activities, partnering with leadership within Institutional Compliance on sensitive and complex matters requiring sound judgment, professionalism, and confidentiality.

Success in this role requires strong analytical and organizational skills, the ability to work autonomously, and a deep understanding of regulatory compliance processes. The ideal candidate will be highly detail-oriented, collaborative, and comfortable managing multiple priorities while serving as a reliable source of guidance and problem-solving within the team.

MD Anderson offers a comprehensive total rewards package, including paid medical benefits, generous paid time off, retirement plans, and additional benefits, along with opportunities to work closely with institutional leadership and contribute to a mission-driven organization committed to excellence, integrity, and innovation.
