Responsibilities

About This Role

At Florida State University, the Equal Opportunity and Compliance Office (EOCE) plays a critical role in supporting a respectful, professional workplace and learning environment. This role sits at the center of that work.

As a Compliance Investigator, you will lead complex investigations and partner across the university to navigate sensitive situations with care, neutrality, and sound judgment. You'll work closely with leadership, faculty, and staff, ensuring policies and processes are applied consistently and thoughtfully.

Why This Role Matters

It's not just about compliance. It's about helping maintain a university environment where professionals can do their best work, students can focus on learning, and leaders have the guidance to navigate challenging situations with confidence.

This is meaningful, impact-driven work that shapes the experience of the FSU community every day.
