Craig Johnson Jr

With extensive experience in HR operations, compliance, and risk adjudication, including supporting Fortune 50 and highly regulated organizations, I bring a combination of technical expertise, process improvement, and collaborative leadership that can immediately add value to your team. In my most recent role as Senior HR Operations & Compliance Analyst for Mastech Digital (Verizon assignment), I managed 20–30 cases daily, including employment, education, criminal, and MVR verifications, ensuring audit-ready documentation and regulatory compliance. I made recommendations to the company whether to hire or not hire someone after a thorough background investigation. I partnered closely with HR, Legal, Compliance, and Audit teams, contributed to AI-enhanced process improvements, and maintained operational continuity during vendor transitions — all while operating at the level of a full-time employee. Previously, at Southwest Airlines, I was a major contributor to correcting thousands of non-compliant onboarding cases for safety-sensitive aviation roles. I validated SIDA badges, I-9s, coordinated with USPIS and FBI for fingerprinting, and ensured adherence to FAA, TSA, and USPS contract requirements, helping the team prevent operational delays and maintain regulatory compliance. I am a fast learner, coachable, and highly adaptable, with strong ethics, integrity, and a team-oriented mindset honed from professional experiences and my lifelong dedication to sports. I thrive in high-volume, compliance-driven environments and consistently deliver accurate, defensible outcomes while collaborating effectively across departments. I am eager to bring my expertise, energy, and proactive approach to the team.
