About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Own Nourish compliance program end-to-end - from developing and maintaining compliance policies to running the regular reporting and monitoring that keeps us ahead of risk
  • Drive compliance strategy for leadership - conduct gap analyses across processes and policies, identify areas of exposure, and bring clear, risk-calibrated recommendations to the table (not just "here's the problem")
  • Lead cross-functional implementation of compliance initiatives - you'll be the one getting things done across teams, keeping stakeholders aligned, and making sure projects are completed on time
  • Monitor compliance metrics and escalate proactively - build and track the dashboards and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into compliance health, and flag trends before they become problems

We’d love to hear from you if:

  • You have 5–7 years of experience in compliance, legal, strategy, or operations - ideally at a fast-paced healthcare startup, tech company, or consulting firm where you had to figure things out with limited resources and no playbook
  • You're an exceptional operator - you run complex, cross-functional projects and never let things fall through the cracks
  • You’re a strong communicator - you can distill complex information into crisp summaries and recommendations for leadership and cross-functional teams
  • You're scrappy and have a bias for action - you don't need to be told what to do. You see the gaps, build the plan, and go execute it
  • Healthcare or compliance experience is a plus - however, what matters most is strong business judgment, intellectual horsepower, and the drive to become the go-to expert on everything compliance at Nourish
