FamilyWell is scaling a HIPAA-regulated, AI-enabled care platform, and our security program has outgrown what our CPO and contractor CISO can manage day-to-day. We're hiring a Security & Compliance Manager to own the operational backbone of our security and compliance program — running the security calendar, tracking risk assessment and pentest remediation to closure, managing vendor/BAA risk, and building toward a formal compliance certification (SOC2 or HITRUST, timing dependent on feasibility). You'll work closely with our CPO (Security Officer) and our contractor CISO, who will continue to own governance, sign-off, and board-level risk reporting, while you own the day-to-day execution that makes that reporting possible.
Key Responsibilities & Duties
- Own day-to-day management of the security program: Security Risk Assessment (SRA) cadence, penetration test coordination and remediation tracking, phishing simulations, and the annual security awareness training calendar.
- Draft Policies & Procedures (P&Ps) for CISO and leadership review/approval, and keep documentation current as the org and regulatory landscape evolve (e.g., the 2025 HIPAA Security Rule overhaul).
- Lead vendor security assessments and Business Associate Agreement (BAA) audits across FamilyWell's vendor ecosystem.
- Own MDM/BYOD device compliance monitoring, partnering with the IT Systems Administrator and our MSP on enrollment and endpoint security status.
- Serve as day-to-day lead on incident/breach response, escalating to the CPO and contractor CISO per FamilyWell's response plan.
- Support rollout of identity and access management improvements, including SSO and a company-wide password manager.
- Partner with the CPO and contractor CISO to prepare recurring board-level risk and compliance status reporting, including a forward-looking roadmap.
- Own compliance-automation tooling evaluation and rollout (e.g., Drata or Vanta) as FamilyWell works toward a SOC2 or HITRUST-ready posture.
- Track open items from SRAs, audits, and vendor reviews to closure (e.g., encryption gaps, audit-log access, policy sign-off) using FamilyWell's Security Program Tracker.
- Help define and maintain AI security guardrails (e.g., PHI handling policy for Claude/Cowork and other AI tools) as the platform and AI usage scale.
- Maintain detailed documentation and records of all security program controls, risks, incidents, vendor audits, and roadmap initiatives.
Minimum Qualifications
- 3–6+ years of experience in security compliance, IT security, or GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) roles.
- Direct experience with HIPAA Security Rule requirements, Security Risk Assessments, and vendor/BAA risk reviews — ideally in healthcare or another regulated industry.
- Comfortable running a security calendar and tracking remediation items to closure across multiple stakeholders.
- Experience partnering with a fractional or contractor CISO, MSP, or outside security advisor, and translating technical risk into clear, non-technical reporting for leadership or a board.
- Strong documentation and project management habits.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, remote startup environment.
Nice-to-Haves
- Direct experience preparing for or achieving SOC2 or HITRUST certification.
- Familiarity with compliance automation platforms (Drata, Vanta, or similar).
- Experience with MDM/endpoint tools, Google Workspace security controls (DLP, Vault), and password manager rollouts.
- Experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup, comfortable building process from scratch.
- Familiarity with AI governance/security considerations for tools used with PHI.
Compensation Range: $132,000-$140,000
