• Assist with BAAs, customer compliance needs, and documentation

Required Skills

• 8–10+ years in healthcare compliance, regulatory affairs, or health data governance
• Strong hands‑on experience supporting HIPAA‑compliant products (ideally web‑based/SaaS)
• Experience working cross‑functionally with Product, Engineering, Security, and Legal teams
• Ability to apply HIPAA in real‑world product environments (not just theory)

• Familiarity with SaMD / FDA / MDR frameworks
• Background in cloud environments (AWS or Azure)

Why this role stands out
