Senior Vice President, Legal & Chief Compliance Officer
Confidential Search | Remote Executive Role
This is a rare opportunity to step into an enterprise-level legal and compliance leadership role where your work directly influences organizational strategy, governance, and risk posture—not just policy. As the organization continues to scale nationally in a highly regulated healthcare environment, this executive will serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and the board, helping the organization move forward with confidence.
The Role
A national, multi-state healthcare services organization is seeking a Senior Vice President of Legal & Chief Compliance Officer to provide enterprise legal leadership and oversee the continued development of a scalable, defensible compliance program.
This is a remote, executive-level role, supporting a geographically distributed healthcare platform, with periodic travel for leadership and board engagement.
The position functions at a Deputy General Counsel level, combining hands-on legal leadership with ownership of compliance strategy, risk management, and governance infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the senior day-to-day legal leader, advising on governance, regulatory risk, contracting, and strategic initiatives
- Design, implement, and mature an enterprise compliance program aligned with federal and state healthcare regulations, payer requirements, and government program participation
- Translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical, operational guidance for executive and operational leaders
- Establish audit readiness, investigation protocols, escalation pathways, and defensible resolution processes
- Partner with executive leadership, the Board of Directors, and ownership to communicate enterprise risk and compliance posture
- Lead, develop, and scale the legal and compliance function; oversee outside counsel and external advisors
- Deliver concise, executive-level reporting on legal, compliance, and enterprise risk matters
Candidate Requirements
- 10+ years of progressive legal leadership experience in highly regulated healthcare environments
- Demonstrated experience advising senior executives and boards on complex legal, regulatory, and risk matters
- Strong working knowledge of healthcare regulatory frameworks, compliance program design, and payer/government program dynamics
- Experience operating across multi-state or multi-division healthcare organizations
- Business-minded, pragmatic leader with sound judgment and executive presence
- Experience in behavioral health or similarly regulated healthcare services preferred, but not required
Why This Opportunity
This role offers the opportunity to operate at the highest level of the organization, where legal and compliance leadership are viewed as strategic enablers of sustainable growth. The organization values integrity, clarity, and leaders who can help scale responsibly in a complex regulatory landscape.
