About Modern Health

Backed by Battery and Kleiner Perkins.

About the role

Modern Health is scaling into enterprise and regulated clients — health plans, financial services, and global employers — whose trust depends on demonstrable information technology risk governance. Much of Modern Health's information technology risk and governance framework already exists — policies, vendor intake, access reviews, a trust center, an answer library, a risk register, incident response, and incident tooling.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years in information-security risk management, security governance, assurance, GRC, or security program leadership, with 5+ years in a regulated, PHI-handling environment
  • Digital health, health plan, or healthcare services experience strongly preferred
  • Experience with third-party security risk programs, including vendor risk tiering, assessment standards, exception paths, remediation expectations, and alignment between vendor commitments and customer obligations
  • Executive communication: translates technical risk, certification status, vendor risk, and customer assurance issues into concise, decision-ready business terms for executive team and board audiences
  • Relevant certifications preferred: CISM, CRISC, CISSP, CISA, CIPP/US, HITRUST CCSFP, or similar
