Director of Risk Management & Compliance

Independent Community Hospital | Southern California
Reports to: Chief Executive Officer

The Opportunity

We are partnering with an independent, not-for-profit community hospital to recruit a Director of Risk Management & Compliance. This role represents a unique opportunity to build, shape, and lead an enterprise-level risk and compliance function at a hospital where leadership, visibility, and judgment truly matter.

This is not a policy-only or remote role. The organization is seeking a hands-on, on-site leader who will serve as a trusted executive voice—particularly when the stakes are high.

Why This Role Is Different

  • CEO-facing leadership role with real influence and accountability
    • Opportunity to build infrastructure, not inherit a finished system
    • Stand-alone hospital environment—no system bureaucracy or corporate layers
    • High visibility across executive leadership, physicians, and clinical teams
    • Meaningful impact on patient safety, regulatory readiness, and organizational stability

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and integrate Risk Management and Compliance across the organization
    • Ensure ongoing compliance with CMS Conditions of Participation, Title 22, CDPH, and The Joint Commission
    • Serve as the primary on-site leader during surveys, regulatory reviews, and serious events
    • Lead response to sentinel events and support patient and family communications
    • Oversee policy and procedure governance and documentation
    • Build a culture of safety, accountability, and proactive reporting
    • Reduce reliance on external legal counsel by managing issues internally when appropriate
    • Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and executive leadership team

What We’re Looking For

Experience:
• 8+ years of progressive experience in hospital-based Risk Management and/or Compliance
• Demonstrated experience handling real-world events—not just audits or policies
• Community or independent hospital experience strongly preferred
• System experience acceptable if paired with hands-on, on-site leadership

Education:
• Bachelor’s degree required (Healthcare Administration, Business, or related field)
• MBA preferred; Juris Doctor a strong plus
• RN background helpful but not required

Certifications:
• CHC and/or CPHRM preferred (or ability to obtain within 12 months)

Work Model & Location

  • On-site leadership role
    • Limited flexibility may be considered
    • Candidates must live within a reasonable commuting distance
    • Must be able to respond on-site to urgent events as needed

Who Thrives in This Role

This role is ideal for a leader who values ownership over escalation, enjoys being present and visible, wants to build something meaningful, and views risk and compliance as essential to patient care—not just regulation.
