Program Coordinator, Data Protection

The Legal team is responsible for managing the legal affairs of the company, including providing legal counsel across the organization, handling disputes, and creating and enforcing intellectual property.

Position Summary

The Privacy COE is seeking a Program Coordinator, Data Protection to execute high-priority privacy and healthcare compliance workstreams, with emphasis on cybersecurity/privacy breach response and HIPAA program implementation for newly acquired entities.

Candidates outside the United States will be considered if they can maintain permanent U.S.-based working hours.
