- Support responses to regulatory inquiries, audits, and investigations.
- Help shape Aledade's privacy strategy and ensure alignment with business goals and legal requirements.

- In-depth knowledge and experience with HIPAA, HITECH, and relevant state privacy laws.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex legal regulations into clear, actionable advice for technical and business teams.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple demands and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- (Preferred) Knowledge of emerging U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) regulations and guidance.
- (Preferred) Experience working with fast-growing healthcare technology companies.
- (Preferred) Professional certifications such as Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP), Certified in Healthcare Privacy and Security (CHPS), or Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP).
Who We Are:
Aledade, a public benefit corporation, exists to empower the most transformational part of our health care landscape - independent primary care. We were founded in 2014, and since then, we've become the largest network of independent primary care in the country - helping practices, health centers and clinics deliver better care to their patients and thrive in value-based care. Additionally, by creating value-based contracts across a wide variety of health plans, we aim to flip the script on the traditional fee-for-service model. Our work strengthens continuity of care, aligns incentives and ensures primary care physicians are paid for what they do best - keeping patients healthy. If you want to help create a health care system that is good for patients, good for practices and good for society - and if you're eager to join a collaborative, inclusive and remote-first culture - you've come to the right place.
