Legal & ComplianceCompliance

This is a high-impact security and compliance leadership role within a growing healthcare SaaS environment.
You will own the day-to-day execution and continued maturity of security, privacy, risk, and healthcare compliance programs.
The role combines strategic program leadership with hands-on security, audit, incident response, and risk-management work.
You will work closely with Engineering, Product, SRE, IT, Legal, and customer-facing teams to embed security into technology and business processes.
A major priority will be leading HITRUST certification while strengthening HIPAA, SOC 2, privacy, and broader security controls.
You will also help modernize compliance through automation, continuous evidence collection, measurable risk management, and scalable processes.
This role is ideal for a security leader who can turn complex regulatory requirements into practical controls and trusted business partnerships.

Own and continuously mature security, privacy, and compliance programs covering HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, and applicable healthcare privacy requirements.
Lead HITRUST certification end to end, including scoping, readiness assessments, evidence collection, assessor coordination, remediation, and corrective action plans.
Manage internal and external audits, risk assessments, penetration tests, security reviews, evidence collection, and remediation activities.
Build a path toward continuous, system-generated compliance rather than relying primarily on point-in-time evidence collection.
Manage external security and compliance partners, including advisors, assessors, and penetration-testing providers, ensuring clear scopes, priorities, accountability, and remediation ownership.
Maintain the security and compliance roadmap, ensuring vulnerabilities, risks, audit findings, and control gaps have defined owners and resolution plans.
Partner with Engineering, Product, Platform, SRE, and IT to integrate security into architecture, infrastructure, product development, and the software development lifecycle.
Establish security and PHI-handling standards and guardrails, including considerations for AI-assisted development.
Oversee critical controls including identity and access management, logging and monitoring, encryption, vulnerability management, data retention, data protection, and vendor risk.
Lead security incident response, including investigation, stakeholder communication, post-incident reviews, and corrective actions within a unified incident-management framework.
Maintain security policies, procedures, Business Associate Agreements, data-handling requirements, and breach-response plans.
Serve as the operational lead for HIPAA Security Rule obligations while supporting the designated HIPAA Security Official and collaborating with the Privacy Officer.
Support customer security reviews, due diligence, onboarding, and security and privacy requirements during contract negotiations.
Establish security and compliance metrics that provide leadership with clear visibility into risks, incidents, vulnerabilities, remediation progress, and audit readiness.
Lead security awareness and compliance training while managing, developing, and mentoring the security and compliance team.
