Job Description

What you'll be part of

Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we're the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.

The result is a rare "win win" — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.

About the role:

We are seeking an exceptional Head of Compliance and Regulatory to join our Legal team. This role will report to the General Counsel. You will play a leading role in the design and execution of Garner's Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) strategy. You will serve as the primary subject matter expert for the regulatory frameworks governing our products (ERISA, HIPAA, IRS, state-level TPA, privacy, and insurance regimes, etc.), and you will help to implement and refine a proactive, scalable compliance infrastructure that supports and stays ahead of our rapid expansion and shifting risk profile.

Where you will work:

Garner is headquartered in NYC, but this position is available for individuals who are comfortable with remote work and occasional travel to HQ.

What you will do:

• Help build and own a mature, scalable GRC framework to manage Garner's regulatory risks, obligations, and internal policies
• Serve as the internal point-person for the Revenue, Marketing, and other teams on day-to-day regulatory and compliance-related challenges and questions
• Manage Garner's ongoing compliance obligations, including its license application and renewal program and other required regulatory filings
• Partner with the Product Team to provide guidance on new product initiatives and changes to existing products, ensuring that innovations remain compliant with applicable rules
• Develop and maintain formal protocols for internal and external investigations, risk assessments, and incident response preparation
• Provide generalist legal support on an as-needed basis

The ideal candidate has:

• 7+ years of experience in regulatory and compliance, with practical working knowledge of key regulatory regimes applicable to Garner
• A J.D. from a U.S. law school and admitted to a state bar
• Proven experience building compliance programs from the ground up in a high-growth or startup environment
• A willingness to "roll up your sleeves" and do whatever is necessary to ensure company success
• Ideally, experience working in a rapidly-evolving startup environment
• A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing company in a transformative role, helping shape the future of healthcare.

Please note: we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

What you'll get here:

You'll work on problems that matter, at a company working to change healthcare at scale. You'll work at the intersection of AI and systemic healthcare reform, where the problems we solve are as interesting and compelling as the mission.

At Garner, you'll take on real, ambitious problems with real ownership and autonomy, alongside exceptional, principles-based people who genuinely want you to win. It's demanding by design. You'll be challenged to stretch beyond what you thought possible and receive consistent coaching to help you grow and do the best work of your career. This isn't the right fit for everyone, and that's intentional. The people here are driven by what's at stake for real people, and that's what gives our intensity its purpose.
