• Strong working knowledge of HIPAA, HITECH, and state-level medical privacy regulations
• Proven track record collaborating with Information Security or IT teams on risk tracking and security incident review
• Experience building or improving privacy operational processes, controls, or governance mechanisms within a healthcare setting
