Deputy CCO

Deputy CCO

A leading, fast-growing national platform in the insurance, wealth, and retirement services sector is seeking a senior compliance leader to oversee and advance a comprehensive regulatory compliance program for Integrity Alliance and Integrity Advisory Solutions. This person will join the leadership team of a diversified portfolio of wealth-focused companies managing more than $50 billion in assets in order to grow the platform to over $100 billion in assets and eventually $500 billion or more.

This role is designed for an experienced compliance professional who thrives in complex, highly regulated environments and serves as a trusted advisor to senior leadership. The position is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining a compliance framework aligned with U.S. federal and state securities laws, including investment advisory and broker-dealer regulatory regimes. The role partners closely with legal, operational, and business stakeholders to proactively identify regulatory risk, implement pragmatic solutions, and support strategic growth while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and investor protection.

Key responsibilities include assisting the CCO in the execution and oversight of the compliance program, acting as designee for the CCO when needed, management of compliance staff, preparing for regulatory examinations and internal audits; serving as a liaison with regulatory agencies when needed; developing and refreshing policies, procedures, and training programs; overseeing risk assessments and annual compliance reviews; administering codes of ethics and conflict-mitigation protocols; and guiding the implementation and ongoing operation of compliance systems and controls. The role also provides governance-level input through participation in senior leadership meetings and cross-functional committees.

The successful candidate will bring deep experience across investment advisory and securities compliance, strong judgment in navigating regulatory complexity, and the credibility to influence senior stakeholders. This individual must be highly analytical, solutions-oriented, discreet, and capable of balancing regulatory rigor with commercial practicality in a fast-evolving business environment.

Key Success Factors for the Role Candidates will be most successful if they bring:

Deep Regulatory and Technical Expertise Success in this role requires a strong command of U.S. securities laws and regulatory frameworks applicable to investment advisory and broker-dealer activities.

Extensive experience with BD and RIA regulatory frameworks, including SEC, FINRA, MSRB, and state securities requirements.
Strong working knowledge of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, related SEC and FINRA rules, supervisory structures, and industry best practices.
Hands-on familiarity with retail brokerage, advisory platforms, annuity and alternative products, and prudent investor standards.
Proven Leadership of Compliance Programs The role demands hands-on experience designing, implementing, and maintaining a comprehensive, risk-based compliance program for a regulated financial services entity. This includes ownership of annual compliance reviews (including Rule 206(4)-7 and 3120 testing), oversight of monitoring and surveillance, and continuous evolution of policies and procedures to reflect regulatory and business changes.
Strong Risk Identification and Mitigation Judgment The successful candidate will be effective at identifying, prioritizing, and addressing compliance and regulatory risk across a growing organization. This includes leading risk assessments, identifying trends, proposing pragmatic remediation strategies, and balancing regulatory requirements with commercial realities. Ability to diagnose emerging regulatory risks and implement proactive, technology-enabled oversight and testing mechanisms.

Success depends on the ability to clearly communicate compliance expectations, provide strategic guidance, and influence outcomes without impeding business objectives.
Operational Excellence and Systems Oversight An effective leader in this role will oversee the implementation, integration, and ongoing maintenance of compliance systems and controls, ensuring consistency across departments. This includes supervision of best-execution reviews, due diligence processes, branch examinations, marketing review, AML oversight, licensing and registration functions, and surveillance activities through delegated teams or functions.
Training, Ethics, and Culture Stewardship Success requires ownership of compliance education and training programs, administration of the Code of Ethics, and consistent reinforcement of ethical standards.
Fostering a culture of compliance while maintaining discretion, professionalism, and confidentiality.
