Technology Principal - Compliance, Legal and HR

Role & responsibilities

Technology Advisor, Compliance, Legal and People • Senior Individual Contributor • Director Level

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are sourcing a senior technology advisor to serve as the dedicated technology partner for Compliance, Legal, and HR/People functions at a mid-size US-based healthcare organization. This role requires someone who understands the intersection of technology and regulatory obligations: particularly in a HIPAA-regulated environment.

Director-level individual contributor, no direct reports. Primary technology contact for Compliance, Legal, and HR leadership. Full PST overlap required.

WHAT THIS PERSON DOES

• Partners with Compliance, Legal, and HR leaders to identify technology risks, gaps, and opportunities in their domains
• Advises on technology strategy for HR systems, policy management platforms, compliance tooling, and legal operations
• Supports vendor evaluation, BAA review processes, and contract oversight for compliance-adjacent technology
• Translates regulatory requirements (HIPAA, state-specific) into technology controls and platform requirements
• Produces executive-ready deliverables for ELT consumption: risk summaries, compliance posture assessments, strategic recommendations
• Facilitates cross-functional alignment between Compliance, Legal, HR, and the technology team

SYSTEMS CONTEXT

Familiarity with: HCM platforms (Ceridian Dayforce, UKG, Workday), policy and training management (Navex, PolicyTech), document management and e-signature (DocuSign), applicant tracking (SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse), and background screening tools. HIPAA compliance technology experience is a strong differentiator.

EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

• 10+ years in IT advisory, compliance technology, or enterprise consulting
• Experience working alongside Compliance, Legal, or HR leadership in a regulated industry
• Working knowledge of HIPAA, data privacy, and regulatory technology frameworks
• US-based organizational experience. Healthcare strongly preferred
• Consulting delivery track record: assessments, roadmaps, risk documentation

Preferred candidate profile

Act as strategic partner to Legal / Compliance / HR leadership in a HIPAA-regulated environment 

 Owns a 1224 month risk and technology maturity roadmap — translates HIPAA/regulatory exposure into a business narrative ELT can act on 

 Independent point of view on where AI helps (policy management, compliance monitoring, HR ops) vs. where it introduces risk — can defend that judgment to legal counsel 

 Delivers ELT-ready risk narratives with named precedent and specific past resolution, not generalized "leadership team" framing 

 Follows issues through resolution (BAA gaps, contract disputes) — visible ownership past the legal handoff 

 Success = risk posture measurably improved against a plan they set, communicated in business terms, not compliance jargon
