THE PROBLEM WE'RE SOLVING
Most people don't think twice about going to the doctor. But for over 85 million uninsured and underinsured Americans — the cashiers, drivers, home health aides, and construction workers who keep this country running — getting care is complicated, expensive, and often out of reach.
WE BUILT VITABLE TO CHANGE THAT.
Vitable is the health benefits platform designed for every worker. We make it easy for employers to offer real, high-quality healthcare to their teams — not watered-down coverage, but benefits that actually work. It's better for employees. It's smarter for employers. And it matters.
We're a small, passionate team moving fast and solving a problem that genuinely deserves solving. If you're looking for a place where your work has a tangible impact on real people's lives, you've found it.
WHERE YOU COME IN
Vitable Health is adding a Head of Compliance to lead all compliance functions related to the Company's self-funded health plan business. This individual will be responsible for ensuring regulatory compliance across plan administration, regulatory filings, marketing and sales materials, and third-party vendor relationships, including third-party administrators (TPAs), pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and insurance carriers. This is a foundational hire responsible for both executing compliance operations directly and establishing the compliance infrastructure to support the Company's growth. This person will partner closely with outside ERISA/benefits counsel on complex filings and regulatory matters — they are the owner of day-to-day compliance execution, not a substitute for legal counsel.
YOUR DAY TO DAY
Self-Funded Plan Compliance Ensure that all self-funded health plans administered by the Company comply with applicable federal and state regulations, including but not limited to ERISA, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), HIPAA, COBRA, and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) — including maintaining the required NQTL comparative analysis documentation.
Regulatory Filings Manage and execute regulatory filings on behalf of customers and plan sponsors, including Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs), Form 5500 filings, PCORI fee filings, plan documents, and other state and federal filings required in connection with TPA operations.
Marketing and Sales Material Review Review and approve all customer-facing marketing, sales, and enrollment materials to ensure regulatory compliance prior to publication or distribution.
Vendor and Partner Compliance Oversight Act as the primary compliance liaison with TPA partners, PBMs, stop-loss carriers, fully insured carriers, and other third-party vendors. Ensure that vendor contracts, data handling practices, and operational processes meet applicable compliance standards, including PBM data reporting obligations (e.g., RxDC) and TPA state licensure/registration requirements.
Regulatory Monitoring Monitor developments in federal and state health plan regulation, including guidance issued by state Departments of Insurance and the Department of Labor, and translate regulatory changes into operational requirements across the organization.
Audit and Examination Readiness Serve as the primary point of contact for regulatory inquiries, audits, and customer due-diligence requests. Maintain documentation and internal controls sufficient to withstand regulatory examination and investor or acquirer due diligence.
Policy Development and Training Develop, implement, and maintain internal compliance policies and procedures. Provide compliance training to personnel involved in plan administration, sales, and customer data handling. Serve as the Company's designated HIPAA Privacy and Security Officer.
WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF
- Must have 5+ years of progressive compliance experience within a self-funded health plan, third-party administrator (TPA), managing general agency/underwriter (MGA/MGU), or stop-loss carrier environment.
- Demonstrated experience managing compliance relationships with stop-loss carriers, PBMs, and TPA partners — including negotiating compliance-relevant contract terms (audit rights, data handling, indemnification).
- Direct, hands-on experience preparing and filing SPDs, Form 5500, and PCORI fees, and responding to DOL/IRS correspondence.
- Working knowledge of MHPAEA NQTL comparative analysis requirements and current DOL enforcement priorities for self-funded plans.
- Familiarity with state TPA licensing/registration requirements and experience corresponding directly with state Departments of Insurance.
- Demonstrated ability to build and operate a compliance function independently — policies, training, documentation, audit readiness — without reliance on an established internal team for day-to-day execution.
- Comfortable knowing the boundary between what to handle directly and what to escalate to outside ERISA/benefits counsel, and experience working effectively with outside counsel on complex filings and regulatory questions.
- Experience with ICHRA, level-funded, or MEC/MVP plan structures preferred.
- CHC, CEBS, or JD with a health benefits/ERISA focus preferred, not required.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Within the first year, the Head of Compliance will have established audit-ready compliance documentation — including a current MHPAEA NQTL comparative analysis — across all administered plans, implemented a defined review process for marketing and sales materials, formalized vendor compliance monitoring (including PBM RxDC reporting and TPA licensure status by state), and positioned the Company to produce a complete compliance package on demand for customer, regulatory, or investor review.
HOW WE TAKE CARE OF YOU
We believe in taking care of the people who take care of our members. Here's what that looks like:

ARE YOU OUR KIND OF PERSON?
We don't have a big corporate machine behind us. What we have is a clear mission, a lot of heart, and a deep sense of urgency about the problem we're solving. That means we move fast, figure things out, and hold ourselves to a high bar — not because someone's watching, but because we care.
You'll thrive here if you're the kind of person who:
- Feels personally connected to making healthcare more accessible
- Gets energized by building, not just maintaining
- Can navigate ambiguity without losing momentum
- Does the unglamorous work when it needs doing — and does it well
- Asks for help when you need it and offers it when you see someone else does
- Cares about the details, but keeps sight of the bigger picture
We're a team that shows up for each other. We celebrate wins together, work through hard problems together, and genuinely like each other. If something feels off, we say so. If someone's struggling, we notice.
No egos. No jerks. Just good humans doing meaningful work — and having fun doing it.
ONE LAST NOTE ON WHO WE HIRE
The people we serve are diverse — and our team should be too. We're committed to building a workplace where different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives aren't just welcomed, they're essential to the work.
