Reporting to the General Counsel, the Vice President of Compliance provides executive leadership for the compliance function across PHS' integrated delivery system and Presbyterian Health Plan. The role sets the strategic vision for compliance, ensures adherence to complex healthcare regulations, and promotes a strong culture of ethical conduct across a highly regulated organization. The Vice President of Compliance leads enterprise‑wide compliance strategy, policies, audits, investigations, training, and regulatory response efforts. Working closely with executive leadership, the Board, and key business partners, the role manages compliance risk, privacy and data governance, and regulatory readiness across the delivery system and health plan. As Chair of the Ethical Business Practices Committee, the VP oversees high‑risk areas including data governance and sharing, AI governance, billing and provider‑based compliance, and 340B programs, and leads conflict‑of‑interest processes, investigations, corrective actions, and support for privacy and breach notification requirements.

Founded in New Mexico in 1908, Presbyterian Healthcare Services is a locally owned, nonprofit delivery system that includes nine hospitals (three of which are critical access hospitals), a multi-specialty medical group with more than 900 providers, ambulance services, home health, and hospice operations.

The Presbyterian Health Plan is a for-profit entity offering Managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Commercial, and Dual Special Needs plans and is subject to frequent and rigorous regulatory oversight.

The successful candidate will bring a forward‑thinking compliance vision that moves beyond transactional oversight, positioning compliance as a strategic partner that builds trust and drives organizational results. Grounded in a strong ethical compass and commitment to patient well‑being, the Vice President of Compliance will exemplify servant leadership through collaboration, partnership, and engagement to deliver lasting impact.
