Senior Director, Regulatory and Grants Compliance

About the role

Department: Consulting - Regulatory
Location: Maitland, FL

JSI’s clients are building and running the networks that close the digital divide. Rural incumbent local exchange carriers, competitive carriers, and electric cooperatives have secured historic levels of broadband funding through BEAD, ARPA, and other federal and state programs — and every dollar of it carries post-award compliance obligations that most providers are not staffed to handle alone. That is the work we do. We are hiring a Senior Director, Regulatory and Grants Compliance to lead it. You will own JSI’s grants and post-award compliance practice outright — setting the methodology, carrying the revenue target, writing and closing the work, and serving as the firm’s senior authority on post-award compliance. You will report directly to the Vice President, Regulatory Affairs & Compliance, sit on the department’s leadership team, and lead a team that includes a Senior Manager as well as individual contributors. You will operate with significant autonomy over how the work gets done. The role exists because the firm is growing and changing at the same time. Broadband funding has expanded what our clients need from us faster than any single leader could absorb, and we are integrating recently combined organizations while that happens. We need a leader who can build the grants practice into something durable while holding delivery quality steady underneath. This is a newly defined role. The colleague who previously led this work is moving into a new position as part of the firm’s next stage of growth and will remain available to support the transition and help you get established.
