This is a foundational role at a critical growth stage, with responsibility for establishing the compliance and privacy infrastructure that will support rapid scaling and maintain client and partner trust.
Key responsibilities include:

- Overseeing privacy and HIPAA compliance programs, including policies, workforce training, minimum-necessary practices, and coordination with Security on technical controls
- Operationalizing compliance requirements through policy development, training, monitoring, remediation cycles, and day-to-day business guidance

- Partnering with Legal, Security, Clinical, and Engineering on enterprise risk assessments, audits, and certification processes
- Co-owning AI and data governance, including risk assessment, human oversight, testing, monitoring, vendor diligence, and leadership reporting
You bring 10+ years of compliance, privacy, legal, or regulatory experience with meaningful hands-on ownership of a compliance program. Ideally, you have 5+ years of healthcare compliance spanning HIPAA/HITECH, fraud and abuse, investigations, monitoring, policies, and corrective action. You excel at translating complex requirements into strategic, actionable guidance; moving from ambiguous questions to clear, structured answers with minimal guidance; and operating with speed and resourcefulness. You have a strong track record with former teammates and operate with high integrity and ownership mentality.
