Overview
Axle is expanding into EHR Consulting Services, delivering implementation, optimization, and go-live support for Epic, Oracle Health, and Meditech to hospitals, health systems, and physician groups. As the division scales, Axle is seeking a detail-oriented and highly organized Healthcare Administrator to serve as the operational backbone of the new consulting practice — overseeing contract execution, compliance documentation, and workforce screening across a blended staffing model of W2 employees, H1B professionals, 1099 contractors, and C2C partners.
This role sits at the center of the division, connecting the Sales/BD team, the recruiting team, and external clients to ensure every engagement is properly contracted, every consultant is properly screened, and every compliance requirement is met before a consultant sets foot in a client environment. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in healthcare administration, staffing compliance, or contract operations, and is comfortable building process from the ground up in a fast-paced environment
Key Responsibilities
Contract & Compliance Administration
Own execution and tracking of Client Master Service Agreements (MSAs), Statements of Work (SOWs), Independent Contractor Agreements (1099s), C2C vendor agreements, and W2 employment agreements
Maintain and manage the Epic Vendor Access Approval process and other vendor-specific credentialing requirements
Ensure the division maintains an active HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and stays current on HIPAA compliance obligations
Track and manage general liability, professional liability, and cyber liability insurance requirements
Background Screening & Worker Classification
Manage background check and drug screening processes for all consultants prior to client placement, per hospital and health system requirements
Support correct worker classification across the W2 / H1B / 1099 / C2C staffing model, flagging compliance risk where classification is ambiguous
Coordinate with legal/immigration support on H1B compliance requirements, including USCIS filings and prevailing wage documentation, for long-term specialized placements
Documentation & Record-Keeping
Maintain a centralized system of record for all contracts, compliance documentation, and screening results
Build and maintain repeatable documentation templates and checklists as the division scales
Ensure audit-readiness of all compliance files at all times
Cross-Functional Operations Support
Serve as the connective tissue between Sales/BD, Recruiting, and clients — ensuring compliance and paperwork never become a bottleneck to placement
Support onboarding logistics for new consultants (W2, 1099, C2C, and H1B) in coordination with recruiting
Contribute to the buildout of supporting systems, including contract management tools and HIPAA-compliant communication platforms
Qualifications
Required
3–5+ years of experience in healthcare administration, HR/staffing compliance, or contract operations, ideally within healthcare IT staffing, consulting, or a related regulated industry
Working knowledge of HIPAA compliance requirements and Business Associate Agreements
Experience with worker classification issues across W2, 1099, and contractor/vendor models
Experience coordinating background checks and drug screening processes, ideally in a healthcare or hospital-adjacent context
Strong contract administration skills — comfortable managing MSAs, SOWs, and vendor agreements
Exceptional organizational skills and high attention to detail; comfortable being the single point of accountability for compliance documentation
Preferred Attributes
Familiarity with EHR vendor credentialing processes (e.g., Epic Vendor Access Approval)
Experience in a healthcare IT staffing or consulting environment
Familiarity with contract management systems, ATS platforms, or payroll systems (e.g., ADP)
Bachelor's degree required; healthcare administration, business, or related field a plus
Key Competencies
Compliance and risk management
Contract administration and vendor agreement management
Documentation rigor and audit-readiness
Cross-functional coordination across sales, recruiting, and clients
Ability to build process from scratch and operate independently in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
