About the role

The Director of Compliance owns and advances Brado AI's compliance program as we scale. This person bridges regulatory rigor with practical business execution, serving as our subject-matter authority on HIPAA, HiTRUST, and SOC 2. They build a culture of compliance across every team, partner with leaders and employees on day-to-day compliance activities, and keep the organization in a constant state of audit readiness. 

What you'll do

Program ownership & strategy

• Manage the end-to-end compliance program across for the company’s client offerings: HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, SOC 2 (Type II), and HiTRUST CSF. 
• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve policies, procedures, and controls to address evolving regulatory and contractual requirements. 
• Own execution of the compliance roadmap set jointly with the VP, Legal & Compliance; support preparation of executive and board updates as needed. Includes evaluating a potential move to a single HiTRUST certification across both platforms, a decision still pending. 
• Oversee development and ongoing maintenance of policies, guidelines, and systems for data privacy and security, working with domain experts to define and implement key controls. 
• Own and maintain the legislative matrix: monitor federal and state regulatory changes and updates, and document where and how each change impacts the business and any actions required. 

Audit & certification management

• Lead ISCC meetings. 
• Lead and manage all external audits, assessments, and renewals — including the annual SOC 2 Type II engagement and the HiTRUST engagement — from scoping through report issuance. 
• Coordinate with third-party auditors and assessors. 
• Continuously monitor compliance with privacy and security frameworks so the organization is always audit-ready and in compliance. 
• Manage and maintain Vanta as the system of record for continuous control monitoring and evidence collection. 
• Conduct quarterly department-level compliance audits on a rotating basis, in addition to company-wide audits, to spread documentation and remediation work evenly across the year. 

Risk & incident management

• Operate and mature the company's risk management framework, including regular risk assessments and risk register maintenance. 
• Own the HIPAA Breach Notification process; lead investigations and coordinate required notifications to Covered Entities and vendors. 
• Partner with Engineering and IT on vulnerability, patch management, and remediation prioritization. 
• Serve as the point of contact for incident reporting and management, coordinating investigation and resolution with IT and Legal. 
• Own disaster recovery and business continuity (DRBC) planning and execution, in partnership with IT. 

Cross-functional collaboration

• Work closely with sales and contract teams to support customer security and privacy questionnaires, enterprise procurement processes, and business associate agreement (BAA) review. 
• Partner with HR to deliver workforce compliance training, including annual HIPAA, privacy, and security awareness programs. 
• Advise Product and Engineering on privacy-by-design principles and secure development practices. 
• Facilitate the compliance committee, including developing agendas, reports, and information as requested by the committee, senior leadership, and/or the Board of Directors. 
• Offer coaching and mentorship for managers and employees throughout Brado AI on domain expertise.
