• Experience drafting and reviewing policies, contracts, legal documents, and professional correspondence.
• Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) or a similar professional certification is a plus.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and legal, compliance, contract, or document-management systems.
