Position Summary

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Information Security, IT, and Compliance to join our growing team.

As a Business Associate to thousands of healthcare practitioners globally, Practice Better operates in a complex regulatory environment spanning HIPAA, GDPR/UK GDPR, and many more existing and emerging state privacy laws. We take our role as a trusted steward of protected health information (PHI) and personal data seriously — and we need someone to manage that responsibility with rigor, sound judgment, and operational excellence, reporting directly to our VP of Engineering.

In this role, you'll manage three interconnected pillars: Information Security, IT Operations, and Compliance. You'll drive day-to-day execution of our compliance program - supporting vendor BAA/DPA negotiations and the implementation of multi-jurisdictional privacy frameworks, maturing our security posture and anticipating regulatory gaps. You'll also manage IT operations, including user provisioning/deprovisioning, device management, SaaS vendor rationalization, and identity & access management. You'll partner closely with Engineering, Product, Legal, and Customer Success to embed privacy-by-design principles into our product roadmap, drive operational security improvements, and ensure we stay ahead of evolving compliance requirements as we scale.

The ideal candidate brings strong working knowledge of healthcare compliance (HIPAA/HITECH), European data protection (GDPR), and SaaS security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001), combined with hands-on experience managing IT operations in a remote-first, high-growth environment. You're energized by strengthening compliance and IT programs from mid-stage to maturity, translating complex regulatory requirements into practical engineering workflows, and navigating ambiguous privacy and security decisions with good judgment. You understand that compliance is not a checkbox exercise — it's a business enabler that protects our customers, and earns their trust.

Note: Practice Better is a remote-first company with team members across North America. This particular role is currently open to Canadian-based candidates only, and candidates must be legally entitled to work for any employer in Canada. Practice Better is unable to support sponsorship for work permits or visas at this time.

What You’ll Be Doing

Information Security & Compliance

• Manage multi-jurisdictional compliance execution - Support implementation of HIPAA/HITECH, GDPR/UK GDPR, and many more existing and emerging privacy laws and coordinate with legal counsel on complex regulatory matters.


• Drive vendor risk management and BAA/DPA lifecycle - Negotiate and finalize Business Associate Agreements and Data Processing Agreements with subprocessors, ensuring breach notification timelines meet calendar-day standards, data deletion commitments are defined, and subprocessor transparency obligations are satisfied. 


• Mature security posture and operational resilience - Partner with Engineering to implement security controls that support SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 readiness, lead incident response planning and mature monitoring/alerting. 


• Embed privacy-by-design across product and engineering - Collaborate with Product and Engineering leadership to assess PHI exposure in new features, define data minimization strategies, and guide architecture decisions that reduce compliance risk.

IT Operations & Infrastructure

• Lead IT operations and service delivery - Own user onboarding / offboarding workflows, device provisioning and management, and IT service delivery for a remote-first team, partnering with HR on seamless employee lifecycle management.


• Drive Identity & Access Management (IAM) strategy - Own identity provider configuration and access control policies, implementing least-privilege access principles, periodic access reviews, and role-based access control (RBAC) frameworks.


• Manage endpoint security and device management - Define and enforce endpoint security standards (MDM, disk encryption, antivirus, patching). Establish laptop procurement standards and remote device management policies. Coordinate with Engineering on developer tooling and access requirements.


• Own SaaS vendor rationalization and procurement hygiene - Conduct regular vendor intelligence audits to identify tool overlaps, license waste and procurement gaps. Partner with Finance on SaaS spend optimization. 

Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Strengthen the InfoSec, IT & Compliance function




• Develop and refine processes, tooling, and documentation to support organizational growth. 


• Manage and mentor the IT Operations team. 


• Partner with third-party compliance advisors to accelerate maturity.


• Act as the bridge between Legal, Engineering, IT, and the business — Translate complex legal language into actionable engineering requirements. Partner with Customer Success on practitioner-facing compliance communications. Coordinate cross-functional responses to regulatory inquiries, audits, and customer due diligence requests.

What You Bring

• 6+ years of relevant experience in information security, IT operations, privacy, and compliance roles, with at least 2+ years in healthcare SaaS or regulated industry


• Deep expertise in HIPAA/HITECH compliance, including Business Associate obligations, breach notification requirements, and Covered Entity vs. Business Associate determination frameworks


• Strong working knowledge of GDPR/UK GDPR and cross-border data transfer mechanisms


• Proven ability to negotiate and finalize vendor BAAs and DPAs, with a strong understanding of must-have vs. nice-to-have contractual terms


• Experience implementing security frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent) and managing third-party audits or certifications


• Hands-on experience leading IT operations for remote-first organizations, including identity & access management, device provisioning, and SaaS vendor management


• Prior experience building or scaling InfoSec, IT, and compliance functions from scratch in high-growth SaaS companies


• Technical grounding in SaaS architecture, APIs, data flows, infrastructure (cloud environments like AWS), and identity providers (Google Workspace, Okta, Microsoft 365)


• Exceptional communication skills - you can translate legal jargon into plain language for practitioners, write concise vendor negotiation emails, and present compliance strategies to executive leadership with clarity and confidence


• Bias for action and pragmatic risk management - you know when to escalate to legal counsel and when to make judgment calls independently


• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where priorities shift and ambiguity is the norm

Organizational context - The role would manage both the security/compliance function AND day-to-day IT operations, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering

Bonus Points

• Professional certifications (CIPP/US, CIPP/E, CIPM, CISSP, CISM, or equivalent)


• Experience with Canadian provincial privacy laws (PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, PHIPA) and emerging US state privacy frameworks 


• Hands-on experience with compliance automation tooling (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, etc.) and IT service management platforms


• Background in fraud prevention, identity verification workflows
