Privacy & Compliance Specialist
About the role
We are seeking a Privacy & Compliance Specialist to build and run Superpower's privacy and compliance program and accelerate our mission. This role will own privacy and compliance end-to-end within our longevity and functional medicine model.
Responsibilities
- Build and run Superpower's privacy program end-to-end — data mapping and inventory, privacy notices, consent flows, and data subject / patient rights requests (access, deletion, correction).
- Establish how Superpower collects, stores, processes, and uses member health data across EMRs, health information exchanges, genetic reports, wearables, and the AI-powered digital twin.
- Run privacy impact assessments and privacy-by-design reviews for new products, features, and services (e.g., prescription peptides).
- Manage vendor privacy diligence, data processing agreements, and Business Associate Agreements, and maintain the record of processing and data flows.
- Own compliance frameworks and audit readiness (e.g., HIPAA Security Rule, SOC 2) — policies, controls, evidence, and remediation.
- Run security and privacy awareness training and maintain the company risk register.
- Respond to customer and partner security questionnaires and support due diligence for partnerships and fundraising.
- Own incident response and breach assessment / notification workflows, in coordination with Engineering and leadership.
- Advise Product and Engineering on practical guardrails for AI-driven clinical recommendations and member data use.
- Track evolving state and federal privacy regulations — HIPAA, state health privacy laws (e.g., Washington's My Health My Data Act), CCPA/CPRA, and FTC health data rules — and translate them into concrete internal requirements.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in privacy and/or compliance, ideally in healthcare or another highly regulated, data-intensive industry, with hands-on experience running a privacy program.
- Working fluency with HIPAA and modern privacy laws (state health privacy laws, CCPA/CPRA, FTC health data rules); familiarity with frameworks like SOC 2 a plus.
- Ability to research and understand new regulatory requirements.
- Independent operator that builds scalable frameworks rather than one-off fixes, flagging risks before they become blockers.
- Strong judgment — able to distinguish real risk from theoretical risk, and to know when to escalate to counsel or leadership versus handle it directly.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to translate complex privacy and compliance concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-specialists.
- Comfort with ambiguity, cross-functional collaboration, and building 0-to-1 infrastructure in a fast-moving, tech-enabled startup.
- Self-starter with a can-do attitude and an ownership mindset — you don't wait to be told what to do.
- Strong personal interest in longevity and preventive healthcare.
- Privacy certification (e.g., CIPP/US, CIPM, CIPP/E, or CHPC) valued but not required.
- No JD or bar membership; this is not a counsel role.
Why Join Us
Be part of a mission-driven team redefining preventative, root-cause, and longevity-focused care.
