Compliance Manager – Dili
Compliance Manager · New York, NY/Remote · Full-time ·
About Dili
Dili builds software that helps construction and clean-energy companies manage complex prevailing wage, apprenticeship, and labor compliance requirements.
We started Dili because labor compliance is still handled through a mix of spreadsheets, PDFs, manual review, and institutional knowledge, despite determining whether some of the largest construction projects in the country are compliant.
Today, we're a team of roughly 35 and growing quickly across all teams. We're building the infrastructure to turn complex regulatory requirements into software that can be evaluated consistently, explained clearly, and audited.
The Role
We're hiring a Compliance Manager with hands-on experience in prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) compliance to review reports, work through regulatory questions, and support both the Dili team and our clients.
Our customers rely on Dili to get PWA right on some of the largest construction and clean-energy projects in the country. In this role, you'll be the expert behind that work: checking reports and documentation, researching guidance under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Davis-Bacon Act, and turning complex requirements into clear, practical next steps.
You'll act as the primary client contact on your engagements and serve as a go-to resource for PWA questions across the company. You'll also work closely with our product and engineering teams, helping shape the review processes, templates, and tools that let us scale compliance work through software.
What You'll Do
Review PWA reports and supporting documentation for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and alignment with applicable requirements.
Research and interpret regulatory guidance, document your findings, and translate complex requirements into clear, practical explanations.
Be a go-to resource for PWA questions from our team and clients.
Spot gaps and inconsistencies, and separate routine fixes from issues that need deeper review. When you escalate, bring a recommendation, not just the problem.
Act as the primary client contact on assigned engagements, translating labor compliance requirements into concrete next steps.
Assist with internal contracting amendments, such as SOWs.
Help improve our review processes, templates, and tools.
Develop internal and external resource materials.
