About the role
- We are looking for a Senior Manager, Information Security, IT, and Compliance to join our growing team.
- As a Business Associate to thousands of healthcare practitioners globally, Practice Better operates in a complex regulatory environment spanning HIPAA, GDPR/UK GDPR, and many more existing and emerging state privacy laws.
- You understand that compliance is not a checkbox exercise - it's a business enabler that protects our customers, and earns their trust.
Responsibilities
- You'll drive day-to-day execution of our compliance program - supporting vendor BAA/DPA negotiations and the implementation of multi-jurisdictional privacy frameworks, maturing our security posture and anticipating regulatory gaps.
- You'll also manage IT operations, including user provisioning/deprovisioning, device management, SaaS vendor rationalization, and identity & access management.
- Manage multi-jurisdictional compliance execution - Support implementation of HIPAA/HITECH, GDPR/UK GDPR, and many more existing and emerging privacy laws and coordinate with legal counsel on complex regulatory matters.
- Drive vendor risk management and BAA/DPA lifecycle - Negotiate and finalize Business Associate Agreements and Data Processing Agreements with subprocessors, ensuring breach notification timelines meet calendar-day standards, data deletion commitments are defined, and subprocessor transparency obligations are satisfied.
- Mature security posture and operational resilience - Partner with Engineering to implement security controls that support SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 readiness, lead incident response planning and mature monitoring/alerting.
- Embed privacy-by-design across product and engineering - Collaborate with Product and Engineering leadership to assess PHI exposure in new features, define data minimization strategies, and guide architecture decisions that reduce compliance risk.
- Drive Identity & Access Management (IAM) strategy - Own identity provider configuration and access control policies, implementing least-privilege access principles, periodic access reviews, and role-based access control (RBAC) frameworks.
- Manage endpoint security and device management - Define and enforce endpoint security standards (MDM, disk encryption, antivirus, patching).
- Own SaaS vendor rationalization and procurement hygiene - Conduct regular vendor intelligence audits to identify tool overlaps, license waste and procurement gaps. Partner with Finance on SaaS spend optimization.
Requirements
- Deep expertise in HIPAA/HITECH compliance, including Business Associate obligations, breach notification requirements, and Covered Entity vs.
- Strong working knowledge of GDPR/UK GDPR and cross-border data transfer mechanisms
- Proven ability to negotiate and finalize vendor BAAs and DPAs, with a strong understanding of must-have vs. nice-to-have contractual terms
- Experience implementing security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent) and managing third-party audits or certifications
- Bias for action and pragmatic risk management - you know when to escalate to legal counsel and when to make judgment calls independently
- 6+ years of relevant experience in information security, IT operations, privacy, and compliance roles, with at least 2+ years in healthcare SaaS or regulated industry
- Deep expertise in HIPAA/HITECH compliance, including Business Associate obligations, breach notification requirements, and Covered Entity vs. Business Associate determination frameworks
- Hands-on experience leading IT operations for remote-first organizations, including identity & access management, device provisioning, and SaaS vendor management
- Prior experience building or scaling InfoSec, IT, and compliance functions from scratch in high-growth SaaS companies
- Technical grounding in SaaS architecture, APIs, data flows, infrastructure (cloud environments like AWS), and identity providers (Google Workspace, Okta, Microsoft 365)
- Exceptional communication skills - you can translate legal jargon into plain language for practitioners, write concise vendor negotiation emails, and present compliance strategies to executive leadership with clarity and confidence
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where priorities shift and ambiguity is the norm
- Organizational context - The role would manage both the security/compliance function AND day-to-day IT operations, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering
- Bonus Points
- Professional certifications (CIPP/US, CIPP/E, CIPM, CISSP, CISM, or equivalent)
