VP, Compliance & Risk

St. Paul's Senior Services is hiring a Vice President of Corporate Compliance and Risk Management to serve as its executive compliance leader. This is the top compliance seat in a multi-entity senior services organization, reporting into executive leadership and presenting directly to governing boards.

About the role

The Vice President owns the strategic direction, governance and continuous improvement of an enterprise-wide compliance and ethics program. Regulatory accountability spans every current and future line of business: senior housing, skilled nursing, community-based services including PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), home-based care and other regulated healthcare operations.

• Ensure investigation, resolution and reporting of compliance concerns, hotline reports and potential misconduct

• Provide executive oversight of privacy, HIPAA and information governance programs
