• Manage Compliance Operations
• • Continuous Monitoring: Move the organization from "point-in-time" compliance to a continuous monitoring model using GRC automation tools.
• Have the ability to strategically influence to gain buy-in from clinical leaders and department heads who may view compliance as a barrier to workflow.
• Have proficiency in mapping overlapping controls between different frameworks to reduce "audit fatigue."
• Have an exceptional ability to translate complex technical risks into business terms for leadership.

What you need:

• 10+ years in IT/Security GRC, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with excellent communication skills.
