Half of Compliance Manager listings pay more than this, half pay less.
Scale runs $0k–$300k. Bar spans the middle 50% of listings.
One median hides a wide role.
“Compliance Manager” covers very different jobs at very different scales under one title. The spread below is real - it is the shape of what employers are posting, not noise in the data.
Each listing counts once, at the midpoint of its stated range. Columns are on the same scale as the hero.
Read off the sorted midpoints with percentile_cont, interpolating between neighbours where it falls between two.
Every number here, traced.
We matched 62 listings to this title in the last 90 days that state an annual base range. Listings without one are excluded entirely.
Each listing contributes its pay midpoint - one value, one vote. A wide range doesn’t get extra weight.
62 clears the 5-listing threshold, so the median is published. Roles that don’t clear it say so instead of showing a number.
Postings age out of the window automatically - nothing is carried forward. See our data commitments.

Too many listings to print here - the arithmetic below runs over all 62 of them.
62 values, so the median falls between the 31st and the 32nd, and is interpolated between them. Every chip is one listing from the last 90 days that you can open below.

Postgres’s percentile_cont lands at position p×(n−1) in the sorted list and interpolates when that falls between two values. We publish what it returns rather than rounding to the nearest listing, and we show you which listings it sat between.

204 further Compliance Manager listings were ingested in this window and left out of the maths.
Why they were dropped
They state no annual base range we can put in a dollar median - no figure at all, an on-target-earnings number with no base split out, an hourly rate we will not annualize on the employer’s behalf, or a range quoted in another currency. We do not record which of those applied to each listing, so we don’t break the number down here.
Those 204 still appear in search and on employer pages - they are just not allowed to move the number. An OTE figure is not a base salary, and treating one as the other is how salary sites drift high.
62 of 266 listings priced the role
$116k is base. It is not the whole offer.
Variable pay is real money, and it is the part listings describe least consistently. Here is exactly what is inside the number and what isn’t.
Counted
Anything a listing states as guaranteed annual base pay, in USD, for a full-time role.
- A stated annual base range
- The base portion split out of an on-target-earnings figure
- Full-time roles, remote or on-site
Not counted
Some of it is real money and some of it is just unreadable. Either way it stays out of the median rather than inflating it.
- Commission, bonus, equity and signing bonuses
- On-target earnings with no base split out
- Hourly and contract rates - we will not annualize them for you
- Ranges stated in another currency
Each of those is a rule in the extractor, not a judgement call - a listing that trips one stays unpriced rather than entering the median as a guess.
Where the listings are.
The same rule applies per market: 3 priced listings or no median. 6 markets clear it in this window. Markets that fall short still get a row with their count, so you can see how close they are rather than wonder why yours is missing. This table covers the 26 of 62 priced listings that name a place - the other 36 are remote, nationwide, carry no location line at all, or are written as something we can’t place on a map (a campus or a building name). They still count toward the median above.
Bars are on the same $0k–$300k scale as the hero. Striped rows are below the publishing threshold. 11 further markets are not shown - the long tail is mostly single listings in towns of their own. Employers write locations as free text, so every spelling of a city is resolved to one market before it is counted.
Every number traces back to a job you can open.
These are the actual postings behind the median - the employers running more than one priced req, and the most recent priced listings from the last 90 days. A few may have closed since; they stay listed because the median was computed over them.
About this number.
Base only. $116k is the median of the annual base ranges stated by 62 Compliance Manager listings ingested in the last 90 days. Bonus, commission, equity and signing bonuses are excluded, because listings describe them inconsistently - including them would make the number bigger and less true.
Real job listings ingested via LandEarly in the last 90 days - not a survey, not a model. Each listing contributes its pay midpoint, the average of the minimum and maximum it states. Listings without a usable annual range are excluded from the maths entirely.
The middle 50% of Compliance Manager salaries - the 25th to 75th percentile - runs from $89k to $176k, based on 62 priced listings. The full published span is $75k at the 10th percentile to $204k at the 90th.
The window is the last 90 days and it rolls forward as we ingest new postings - this page rebuilds every six hours. A listing that ages out of the window drops out of the median; nothing is carried forward or back-filled.
A role needs at least 5 priced listings in the window before we publish a median. Below that we show the listing count instead, and that role's guide says so plainly rather than printing a figure computed from a handful of postings.
