Compliance External Audit Administrator
Position Purpose
Manage complex, time-sensitive compliance workflows (e.g., regulatory deliverables tracking, policy and documentation governance, audit/exam readiness facilitation, issue intake, and committee operations) and ensure work is executed accurately, consistently, and in alignment with internal controls and healthcare regulatory requirements.
Serves as a trusted partner to Compliance leaders and cross-functional stakeholders, synthesizing information for decision-making, escalating risks and barriers, and driving process improvements that strengthen regulatory audit readiness.
Responsibilities
- Lead Compliance intake and work orchestration (e.g., presentation, requests, attestations, disclosures, incidents, and general inquiries), including triage, prioritization, assignment, and follow-through; identify trends and recommend upstream fixes.
- Own compliance documentation management practices, including record accuracy, version control, controlled templates, and evidence traceability in alignment with retention and internal control requirements.
- Manage regulatory and obligation tracking cadences by maintaining calendars, trackers, and dashboards; perform quality checks on inputs, reconcile status with owners, and provide concise leadership-ready reporting.
- Run end-to-end governance logistics for compliance committees and working groups: develop agendas with leaders, compile and quality-check materials, document decisions/action items, and drive closure through proactive follow-up and escalation.
- Develop and deliver routine and ad hoc compliance reporting; analyze drivers, identify risks, and propose corrective actions or process improvements.
- Cook compliance communications and training logistics (scheduling, rosters, completion follow-up, and distribution of approved materials); track completion, identify gaps, and escalate non-compliance.
- Apply sound judgment in handling sensitive information; partner with Compliance, Privacy, and Security to ensure appropriate access controls, least-privilege sharing, and secure transmission and storage of data and evidence.
- Design and maintain standard work (SOPs, job aids, checklists, templates) for compliance operations; lead continuous improvement efforts to reduce cycle time, improve quality, and strengthen control effectiveness.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for compliance operations processes; advise stakeholders on requirements and timelines, resolve issues independently when possible, and escalate complex risks or decisions to leadership.
- Travel as needed to attend and participate in onsite meetings.
