Loan Forgiveness Jobs

125,143 open positions · Updated daily

The student‑loan debt crisis has spurred a surge in federal and state programs that award forgiveness to qualified borrowers. As agencies expand eligibility, demand for professionals who can design, manage, and audit these programs has jumped 35% over the past year. Companies and nonprofits are hiring now to fill gaps in policy analysis, compliance, and data science.

Positions range from Policy Analyst—crafting eligibility rules and tracking legislative changes—to Program Manager—overseeing grant workflows and stakeholder coordination. Compliance Specialists monitor audit trails and ensure adherence to the Higher Education Act, while Data Scientists build predictive models in Python and SQL to identify high‑impact borrowers. All roles rely on Excel, Power BI, and Salesforce for reporting and workflow automation.

Because Loan Forgiveness work directly supports public welfare, salary transparency builds trust and attracts talent who value fairness. Clear pay scales help recruiters retain skilled analysts, reduce turnover, and demonstrate the sector’s commitment to equitable compensation.
