[Hiring] Corporate Compliance Officer @GeneDx

Role Description

The Corporate Compliance Officer will support the transition of compliance oversight from the Legal function to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This is a hybrid role combining compliance program leadership/support with risk-based oversight.

• Lead near-term policy cleanup and modernization
• Help establish a scalable compliance operating model
• Own the compliance hotline and case management process
• Define and mature compliance-related processes and integrate them into ERM governance, prioritization, and reporting

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Risk Management, Healthcare Administration, Life Sciences, or related field required; advanced degree (MBA, JD, or Master's in Compliance/Risk Management) preferred
• 8–12+ years of progressive experience in compliance, enterprise risk, ethics, governance, quality/regulatory compliance, privacy, or related fields; biotech/research or healthcare experience strongly preferred
• Demonstrated experience building and operating compliance program components (policy governance, training, monitoring, hotline/case management, remediation)
• Working knowledge of healthcare privacy requirements (e.g., HIPAA/HITECH)
• Prior experience in a diagnostic laboratory setting a plus
• Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to influence across functions without direct authority
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear executive-ready reporting
• Proven ability to build foundational frameworks where structures and “risk types” will evolve over time

Requirements

• Execute an initial compliance risk assessment approach aligned with ERM to prioritize program work (policy, training, monitoring) and identify areas requiring additional controls
• Help define a pragmatic compliance risk taxonomy (“risk types”) suitable for a biotech/research environment
• Develop and maintain metrics and dashboards (policy currency, training completion/attestations, hotline trends, remediation aging, monitoring results)

• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Health, Dental, Vision and Life insurance
• 401k Retirement Savings Plan
• Employee Discounts
• Voluntary benefits
