Director of Compliance (Remote)

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. 

We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.

Rula is a remote-first company. We currently hire in most U.S. states, with the exception of Hawaii.

About the Role

We are hiring a Director of Compliance, reporting directly to Rula’s Vice President, Compliance, Ethics & Privacy, to build and mature core elements of Rula’s enterprise Compliance Program. This role is responsible for ensuring adherence to federal and state healthcare regulatory requirements across Rula’s clinical operations, including clinical licensure and scope-of-practice, fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA), telehealth regulations, and other operational and clinical compliance obligations. The Director of Compliance also supports the organization in navigating emerging regulatory considerations associated with AI-enabled care models and technology-driven clinical workflows.

This role ensures that compliance principles are embedded into Rula’s rapidly evolving care delivery and product ecosystem, supporting responsible growth while upholding legal, ethical, and operational standards. Key responsibilities include leading compliance risk assessments and internal controls; overseeing investigations and corrective action processes; developing and maintaining compliance policies and training programs; evaluating vendor and partner compliance; monitoring regulatory developments; and providing actionable reporting to leadership to support a strong culture of compliance across the organization. This includes collaborating with Compliance leadership to support governance reporting, including preparation of materials and delivery of periodic updates to the Compliance Committee and, as appropriate, the Board of Directors.

• Demonstrated ability to contribute to the development or maturation of compliance programs, including policies, internal controls, training, and governance processes.

• Ability to navigate compliance risk in evolving and innovative environments while balancing regulatory requirements with operational needs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration, Health Law, Public Health, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
