AKASA provides generative AI (GenAI) solutions for the healthcare revenue cycle, from prior auth to CDI to coding to claims management. Backed by a16z.
About the role
We’re looking for a strategic, automation-minded Director of Compliance & AI Governance to own and evolve AKASA’s compliance program as we scale. This role is ideal for someone who has led compliance in a healthcare SaaS or AI environment and wants to build a modern, engineering-forward program rather than a paperwork factory.

What they're looking for
- 8+ years experience in security compliance, GRC, or risk management, including 2+ years leading a team or function. Healthcare SaaS, health tech, or AI startup experience strongly preferred
- End-to-end policy ownership: drafting, cross-framework mapping, and running review/exception/attestation cycles
- Comfort in front of customers: enterprise security questionnaires, sales-cycle support, BAA/security terms negotiation alongside Legal, and managing customer audits
