Lead the Future of Healthcare Compliance, Audit, and Accreditation (not financial audit)

 

Due to continued growth, Navitus is seeking a Director, Compliance & Audit to lead and evolve our Healthcare Regulatory Adherence and Audit function. This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned healthcare compliance leader who thrives at the intersection of regulatory oversight, operational auditing, accreditation, risk management, and organizational change.

 

In this high-impact leadership role, you will oversee the Compliance, Audit, and Accreditation programs, ensuring our organization remains compliant, audit-ready, and positioned for long-term success in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. You will lead a team responsible for internal and external audits, accreditation activities, regulatory implementation audits, and enterprise-wide compliance initiatives.

We are seeking a leader with experience in operational audits, healthcare compliance programs, accreditation standards, and regulatory implementation, ideally within health plans, hospitals, integrated delivery systems, PBMs, TPAs, healthcare services organizations, or other highly regulated healthcare environments.

 

The Director, Compliance and Audit leads the Regulatory Adherence and Audit team, including the Accreditation team, and is responsible for the overall administration, performance, and continuous improvement of Navitus’ Compliance, Audit, and Accreditation programs, as well as related enterprise-wide initiatives.
