About this role
An exciting opportunity for a detail-driven and highly accountable Head of Compliance to lead multi-state regulatory validation, strengthen operational compliance, and help protect the company, NPs, and physicians from legal and regulatory risk in a growing, mission-driven organization.
Company Profile:
Our client is the leading platform connecting Nurse Practitioners (NPs) with collaborating physicians across the United States. Their service streamlines an often-complex process—enabling NPs to quickly, affordably, and confidently find physician collaborators to meet state requirements and launch their practices.
Overall purpose and responsibilities of the role:
The Head of Compliance will own the accuracy, maintenance, and ongoing improvement of the state-by-state collaboration or supervision requirements and the agreements and processes that depend on them.
The company currently have strong research and summaries that are likely 90% accurate. This role is responsible for getting the company to 99% accuracy by validating each requirement against primary sources, documenting proof, and implementing a continuous monitoring system so we stay current as rules change.
This role reports directly to the President and Co-Founder and coordinates with U.S. outside counsel for edge cases and legal interpretation when needed.
Duties and Responsibilities:
1. Build and maintain the company’s “source of truth” (state-by-state requirements)
Take ownership of our state requirements content as if we are an authority—and make it defensible.Validate every requirement we publish/provide to NPs and physicians using primary sources (board rules, statutes, official guidance) and reputable secondary sources when necessary.Convert existing research into a standardized format:Requirement statement (plain English)Who it applies to (NP/PA, specialty, setting)What must happen (frequency, documentation, signoffs)Citations/links to sourcesLast-reviewed dateConfidence notes / edge casesMaintain a change log and version history so we can explain what changed and why.
2. State collaboration/supervision agreements: accuracy + completeness
Review and continuously maintain all state agreement templates to reflect the validated requirements.Ensure required elements are consistently covered (e.g., oversight duties, availability/consultation expectations, chart review, meetings/visits, prescriptive authority language where applicable, documentation standards, termination and notice, etc.).Create a repeatable “update pipeline” so agreement changes flow from the requirements source-of-truth with minimal delay.
3. Continuous monitoring of regulatory changes
Set up a formal process to monitor changes by state:Boards and rulemaking updates Statutory changesPolicy/interpretation updates where relevantMaintain a cadence (weekly/monthly review cycles + quarterly full refresh) and publish internal updates:What changedWho is impactedWhat we must update (requirements summary, agreement language, onboarding steps)Ensure impacted NPs/physicians are notified when changes materially affect them.
4. Tighten contracting + onboarding processes (risk reduction)
Map the end-to-end onboarding/contracting journey and reduce variability.Recommend SOPs for onboarding, contracting, renewals, changes, and offboarding.Ensure documentation is complete, auditable, and easy to retrieve (who signed what, when, which state template version).
5. Board action checks (discipline / adverse actions) program
Implement a board-action/self-query process for clinicians (e.g., self-query reports, attestations, periodic re-checks).Define thresholds: what is disqualifying vs reviewable; build escalation rules and documentation standards.Train internal team members and enforce consistent execution.
6. License validation program
Build a repeatable system to verify NP/PA and Physician licenses and status:Active license(s) + statusCorrect license numbersSpecialty credentials where relevantDEA where applicable to the arrangement (state/model dependent)Implement initial verification and scheduled re-verification with documented proof storage.
7. Light support for compliant communications
Provide occasional review of high-risk outward-facing claims when needed (e.g., “time required,” “earnings,” definitions of “supervision/oversight,” etc.).Create a short internal “do/don’t” guideline, but this is not the primary focus of the role.
8. Operationalize compliance processes & continuous improvement
Ensure agreements and operational processes reflect reality and identify any gaps.Set up alerts and automated reminders for reviews, renewals, and monitoring.Stay updated on proposed regulatory changes and their strategic impact.Work closely with Sales (contracts) and Operations to integrate compliance into workflows.Provide internal guidance and opinions on compliance issues, escalating to U.S. counsel when needed.
Deliverables (first 60–90 days)
A cleaned, standardized 50-state requirements library with citations, last- reviewed dates, and confidence notes.A working requirement → agreements update pipeline and version control system.A formal regulatory monitoring cadence with change logs and internal update memos.Implemented SOPs for:License verification + re-verificationBoard action/self-query checksAgreement updates + documentation retentionA compliance dashboard / tracker (simple is fine) showing review status by state.
