We believe the technology behind it should make it easier to build better health plans, not harder.\nAt Yuzu, we're on a mission to make health insurance more transparent, connected, and trustworthy. We've built our own modern health plan administration platform and paired it with hands-on operational expertise, giving our partners the flexibility to bring differentiated health plans to life, serve their customers, and grow their businesses.\nWe're backed by General Catalyst, Chemistry, Anthropic’s and Menlo Ventures’ Anthology Fund, Lachy Groom, and Neo.\nOur team brings together curious builders, experienced operators, and thoughtful problem-solvers who believe there's always a better way. We move quickly, challenge assumptions, and care deeply about the quality of our work and the people we work alongside.\nThe Role\nWe're looking for a Vice President of Compliance to build and lead Yuzu’s compliance function as we scale. You’ll own our approach to internal and external compliance, helping us navigate healthcare regulation, expand across states, and manage risk while bringing new health plans to market.\nThis is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll translate complex requirements into clear decisions, practical processes, and controls that work for a growing startup. You’ll partner closely with leadership, product, engineering, and operations, and serve as a primary point of contact for regulators, external counsel, and compliance partners.\nYou will:\nBuild and lead Yuzu’s compliance program, establishing policies, controls, training, monitoring, and reporting that scale with the business.\n\nOwn insurance and third-party administrator licensing strategy and execution across U.S. states, including applications, renewals, filings, and ongoing obligations.\n\nGuide compliance for health plan administration, partnering with internal teams and external counsel to evaluate requirements for new products, plans, and markets.\n\nOversee compliance with PHI and HIPAA requirements, working with security, engineering, and operations to protect sensitive information and strengthen privacy practices and advise on proper protocol on security incidents.\n\nManage internal compliance reviews and external examinations, audits, and due diligence requests, driving remediation through completion.\n\nEstablish standards for vendor and partner compliance, including diligence, contractual requirements and negotiations, and ongoing oversight.\n\nIdentify and assess regulatory and operational risks, communicate priorities to leadership, and implement practical mitigation plans.\n\nCollaborate with Yuzu's Legal Ops team on customer escalations, plan design and benefit category decisions, ACA and ERISA compliance, and compliance product features.\n\nMonitor regulatory changes and translate them into actionable guidance for the business in collaboration with legal ops.\n\nBuild and manage the team, outside counsel relationships, and external resources needed to support Yuzu’s growth.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nSignificant, progressive experience in healthcare compliance, including leadership responsibility for a compliance program or function.\n\nDirect experience working with health plans, health insurers, or third-party administrators, with a strong understanding of health plan administration.\n\nDemonstrated experience managing insurance or third-party administrator licensing across multiple U.S. states, including initial applications and ongoing compliance.\n\nExperience interpreting and operationalizing PHI and HIPAA requirements through policies, controls, training, and oversight.\n\nExperience managing both internal and external compliance, including risk assessments, audits, regulatory inquiries, and remediation.\n\nAbility to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, practical guidance for technical and nontechnical teams.\n\nStrong judgment and the ability to prioritize risk, make decisions with incomplete information, and recognize when specialized counsel is needed.\n\nA hands-on approach, strong ownership, and the ability to build processes and lead cross-functional work in a changing environment.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nJuris Doctor (JD) degree, highly preferred.\n\nExperience building or scaling a compliance function at a fast-growing startup, particularly in healthcare, health insurance, or benefits technology.\n\nExperience supporting self-funded employer health plans and navigating the intersection of federal requirements and state insurance regulation.\n\nExperience working directly with state departments of insurance and other healthcare regulators.\n\nExperience partnering with product and engineering teams to incorporate compliance requirements into software and operational workflows.\n\nExperience hiring and developing compliance teams and managing outside counsel and compliance vendors.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4927,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health
