Lead strategic technology planning for healthcare clients

Data governance and information management
-
Business continuity and disaster recovery
-
-
Facilitate HIPAA Security Risk Assessments and compliance readiness initiatives
-
Translate complex technical and security concepts into clear business recommendations
-
Act as the strategic bridge between client leadership and technical delivery teams
What We're Looking For
-
7+ years of progressive IT leadership experience
-
3+ years in a vCIO, CIO, IT Director, Technology Advisor, TAM, or strategic consulting role
-
Experience supporting healthcare organizations, medical practices, or healthcare-adjacent environments
-
Strong understanding of:
-
HIPAA and HITECH
-
Healthcare cybersecurity requirements
-
Data governance principles

-
CISSP, HCISPP, CISM, CRISC, CDMP, ITIL, or Microsoft certifications
-
Experience with EHR/EMR platforms such as Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks, or NextGen
You'll Thrive Here If You...
-
Think like a business advisor, not just a technologist
-
Enjoy helping executives make informed decisions
-
Can discuss cybersecurity risk without using technical jargon
-
Understand that compliance, governance, and security are business priorities
-
Love building long-term trusted client relationships
