The Director, Compliance builds and owns a scalable compliance infrastructure that reduces regulatory risk, supports growth, withstands diligence, and protects enterprise value for physician, health system, and private equity stakeholders. Reporting into the CLO/CAO ensures compliance is embedded as a core governance and risk-management function, tightly aligned with legal oversight, investigations, transactions, and board accountability.
