Compliance Specialist

This is a Contract-to-Hire IT Support Specialist opportunity located in the Dallas-Fort Worth / Grapevine, Texas area supporting a rapidly growing, technology-driven organization focused on building scalable internal systems using modern automation, cybersecurity, and AI-enabled operational tools.
