Role Description
The Corporate Compliance Officer will support the transition of compliance oversight from the Legal function to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This is a hybrid role combining compliance program leadership/support with risk-based oversight.
• Lead near-term policy cleanup and modernization
• Help establish a scalable compliance operating model
• Own the compliance hotline and case management process
• Define and mature compliance-related processes and integrate them into ERM governance, prioritization, and reporting
Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Risk Management, Healthcare Administration, Life Sciences, or related field required; advanced degree (MBA, JD, or Master's in Compliance/Risk Management) preferred
• 8–12+ years of progressive experience in compliance, enterprise risk, ethics, governance, quality/regulatory compliance, privacy, or related fields; biotech/research or healthcare experience strongly preferred
• Demonstrated experience building and operating compliance program components (policy governance, training, monitoring, hotline/case management, remediation)
• Working knowledge of healthcare privacy requirements (e.g., HIPAA/HITECH)
• Prior experience in a diagnostic laboratory setting a plus
• Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to influence across functions without direct authority
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear executive-ready reporting
• Proven ability to build foundational frameworks where structures and “risk types” will evolve over time
Requirements
• Execute an initial compliance risk assessment approach aligned with ERM to prioritize program work (policy, training, monitoring) and identify areas requiring additional controls
• Help define a pragmatic compliance risk taxonomy (“risk types”) suitable for a biotech/research environment
• Develop and maintain metrics and dashboards (policy currency, training completion/attestations, hotline trends, remediation aging, monitoring results)
Benefits
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Health, Dental, Vision and Life insurance
• 401k Retirement Savings Plan
• Employee Discounts
• Voluntary benefits
Work Environment
This is a fully remote position. The employee will work from a home office or other suitable remote location with reliable high-speed internet access. Work is performed in a climate-controlled environment using standard office equipment including computer, phone, and video conferencing tools. Your standard work schedule and hours will be established in collaboration with your leader and may be adjusted to align with evolving business needs.
