Director, Regulatory & Compliance

Garner's mission is to transform the healthcare economy, delivering high-quality and affordable care for all. We are fundamentally reimagining how healthcare works in the U.S. by partnering with employers to redesign healthcare benefits using clear incentives and powerful, data-driven insights. Our approach guides employees to higher-quality, lower-cost care, creating a system that works better for everyone. Patients achieve better health outcomes, employers spend healthcare dollars more effectively, and physicians are rewarded for delivering exceptional care rather than performing more procedures. Garner is one of the fastest-growing healthcare technology companies in the country. Our products are trusted by the most sophisticated employers and providers in the industry, and we are building a team of talented, mission-driven individuals who are motivated to make a meaningful impact on healthcare at scale.

• Partner with the Product Team to provide guidance on new product initiatives and changes to existing products, ensuring that innovations remain compliant with applicable rules
• Develop and maintain formal protocols for internal and external investigations, risk assessments, and incident response preparation
• Provide generalist legal support on an as-needed basis

• A J.D. from a U.S. law school and admitted to a state bar
• Proven experience building compliance programs from the ground up in a high-growth or startup environment
• A willingness to "roll up your sleeves" and do whatever is necessary to ensure company success
• Ideally, experience working in a rapidly-evolving startup environment
• A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback
