The Role

We're hiring a Senior Director of Compliance to own our regulatory compliance program end to end — the person accountable for making sure we handle protected health information, and the businesses that depend on us, the way the law and our customers expect.

You'll report to the Chief Legal Counsel and work in close partnership with our CISO and Product/Engineering leadership. This is a strategy and program-ownership role: you'll set direction and represent our compliance posture to the executive team, while a team of managers and analysts runs the day-to-day operations you design.

Responsibilities

• Program strategy & governance: Define the compliance program, set the compliance program's roadmap, priorities, and risk appetite; own risk assessments and the compliance risk register and hold risk-acceptance authority up to a defined threshold, escalating above it to the CLO.
• Regulatory implementation: Convert legal interpretation of HIPAA, state health-data privacy laws, 42 CFR Part 2, AI laws and other applicable regimes as they evolve into internal policy, control requirements, and product specifications.
• Product & risk: Sit in product planning and governance for regulated feature areas, surface risk and work with Legal on regulatory readiness before launch of higher-risk features.
• Audits, incidents & investigations: Own certification and audit strategy: annual audits for existing certifications, what to pursue and when, and stand behind the resulting posture with customers and the board, while a GRC manager runs fieldwork and evidence collection.
• Culture & reporting: Own the content and cadence of company-wide compliance training and set the standards and escalation tiers for internal compliance advisory.

Required Skills and Experience

• 15+ years of experience in healthcare regulatory compliance, risk, or GRC, including at least 7 years leading a compliance program or function.
• Experience on both sides of the table — inside a covered entity (health system, practice group, or payer) and inside a health-tech/SaaS vendor operating as a business associate.
• Deep working knowledge of HIPAA (Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Enforcement Rules), state comprehensive and health-specific consumer privacy laws, and 42 CFR Part 2.
• Have personally led an organization through a real regulatory event — an OCR investigation, a state AG inquiry, a reportable breach, or a certification remediation against a hard deadline.
• Experience shipping compliance requirements into a live product roadmap inside an agile/SaaS environment.
• Track record building and managing a compliance team and owning a budget.
• Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC), or willingness to obtain within the first year.
• Executive presence: able to present risk in business terms to a CEO or CLO.

Bonus Points

• CHPC or CIPP/US.
• Working familiarity with HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS sufficient to direct audit strategy.
• Experience with behavioral/mental health-specific compliance requirements.
• JD or health-law background (not required, and not a substitute for operating experience — this is not a legal role).
• Familiarity with ONC Health IT Certification and information-blocking rules.

Benefits

We offer a competitive benefits program including:

• Medical, dental, vision, life & disability insurance
• 401(k) plan with company match
• Flexible Time Off (FTO), wellbeing days, paid holidays, and summer Fridays
• Mental health resources
• Paid parental leave & Backup Care
• Tuition reimbursement
• Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
