About the role

There is no centralized policy library, no systematic review cadence, and no dedicated owner of this function today.
As CHP adds new contracts, sites, and staff, this role ensures that every operational team has clear, legally defensible guidance - and that no compliance deadline passes without a policy in place.

Build and Own the Policy Infrastructure
Conduct a comprehensive audit of all existing CHP policies, SOPs, and clinical guidelines within the first 60 days - identify gaps, outdated materials, and non-compliant documents
Design and implement a repeatable, documented policy development process in partnership with clinical leadership, legal, compliance, and operations - every new or revised policy goes through a defined review cycle with documented SME sign-off before publication
Build and maintain a centralized, version-controlled policy repository
establish a review and audit schedule so no policy exceeds a 12-month review cycle and staff can locate any document in under 60 seconds
Develop standardized templates, formatting conventions, and document control protocols that bring consistency across all policy types (policies, procedures, SOPs, guidelines)
Personally draft, edit, and publish policies from regulatory source to final document - this is a hands-on writing role, not a supervisory or advisory one
Manage 15-20 active policy projects simultaneously without losing visibility into any of them
drive review cycles to closure, escalate when stakeholders are unresponsive, and deliver on time
Conduct a comprehensive audit of all existing CHP policies, SOPs, and clinical guidelines within the first 60 days - identify gaps, outdated materials, and non-compliant documents; produce an inventory with status and target completion dates for every item

Define and maintain a cadence for reviewing regulatory changes, triaging impact on CHP operations, and communicating required policy updates to stakeholders before compliance deadlines

Establish and operationalize a system to monitor federal and state healthcare regulatory updates - CMS, NCCHC, state departments of correction, TJC, OSHA, and applicable accreditation bodies - within the first 3 months
