## About the Company

[Avandra Imaging](https://www.avandra.io/)'s mission is to unlock clinical data to overcome previously impossible medical challenges, bringing hope and medical breakthroughs that transform patient lives. Avandra is poised to revolutionize healthcare research and innovation by creating the largest indexed data cloud of medical imaging. This platform will unlock unprecedented access to real-world imaging data, essential for biopharma research, medical device innovation, AI model training, and improved patient care.

Leveraging its strategic acquisitions, Avandra aims to aggregate and de-identify vast amounts of imaging data, providing frictionless access to this invaluable resource. With a national footprint of over 5,000 customer integrations and a market share of approximately 70%, this robust infrastructure supports their core business, ensuring continued growth and cash flow to fuel their innovative data cloud platform.

## About the Job

As our Compliance Lead, you'll own and operationalize our compliance program — turning our regulatory obligations into a scalable, audit-ready system that earns the trust of health systems, investors, and the patients behind the data. Avandra handles protected health information across a growing network of health system partners.

This is a build role. You'll work alongside our IT & Security Manager, contributing to security posture while owning the compliance workstream end-to-end. If you're energized by standing up programs — not just maintaining them — this is your role.

## What You’ll Do

Compliance Program Management

- Own Avandra's compliance roadmap across HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2; drive certification timelines and recertification cycles.
- Maintain the risk register and conduct company-wide risk assessments on a defined cadence.
- Author, publish, and maintain security and compliance policies and procedures.
- Evaluate emerging frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST CSF) for relevance as we scale.

Audit & Evidence Readiness

- Coordinate evidence collection, gap assessments, and control testing across Engineering, Operations, and People teams.
- Manage audit relationships with external assessors and compliance-automation platforms.
- Maintain audit-ready documentation at all times — not just at audit season.

Vendor Risk Management

- Own the vendor security intake and assessment process.
- Respond to customer security questionnaires, RFPs, and due diligence requests; represent Avandra'scompliance posture credibly to health system partners.

M&A Compliance Integration

- Conduct compliance assessments for acquisition targets — evaluate PHI handling practices, existing certifications, policy maturity, and open audit findings.
- Own the post-acquisition compliance integration playbook: gap analysis, remediation roadmap, and timeline to bring acquired entities under the Avandra compliance umbrella.
- Assess and rationalize subsidiary compliance programs; identify redundancies, coverage gaps, and certification consolidation opportunities.
- Serve as the compliance integration contributor in cross-functional M&A workstreams alongside Legal, Finance, and Engineering.
- Maintain a consolidated compliance posture across all entities — ensuring no subsidiary operates outside Avandra's policy and control framework.

Training & Culture

- Develop and deliver company-wide compliance training, including onboarding programs tailored to acquired teams.
- Translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for non-compliance teams.

## What You’ll Need

Required

- 5+ years of hands-on compliance experience at a B2B SaaS or healthcare technology company.
- Demonstrated ownership of HIPAA compliance programs; working knowledge of HITRUST (i1 or r2).
- SOC 2 Type II experience — you've coordinated evidence, managed auditors, and closed gaps.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with Engineering on technical controls without needing a translator.
- Strong written communication — policy writing, questionnaire responses, and executive summaries are all in your wheelhouse.
- Self-starter mentality; you build structure in ambiguity.

## Preferred

- Experience supporting compliance assessments or integration work in M&A contexts.
- Familiarity with multi-entity or subsidiary compliance program management.
- CISSP, CISM, HCISPP, or equivalent certification.
- Experience with compliance automation tooling (Vanta, Drata, Tugboat Logic, etc.).
- Familiarity with PHI data flows, health data integrations, and healthcare data contracts.
- Prior experience at a growth-stage startup where the compliance program was being created, not inherited.

## What We Offer

- Meaningful Impact: The work we do directly enables medical breakthroughs — such as earlier cancer detection, better Alzheimer's treatments, AI diagnostics that save lives. This isn't abstract; it's the reason our health system partners invest in us.
- Career-Defining Opportunity: You'll have a front-row seat to every aspect of building a category-defining company—strategy, operations, fundraising, M&A, scaling.
- Exceptional Team: Work alongside a founder with a track record of building and exiting healthcare technology companies, backed by investors who are true partners.
- Competitive Package: Competitive salary, equity, comprehensive benefits, and hybrid work flexibility.
- Values-Driven Culture: We’re building a team grounded in Avandra’s 5 Core Values that guide how we show up every day:
- WIN with Integrity
- Radical Accountability
- Engage with Empathy
- Innovation Through Playful Curiosity
- Patients First

Salary Range

- $160,000 - $180,000 base salary, depending on experience and alignment with role expectations.
