What the job involves
- Reporting to the Sr Manager, IT Compliance, this Senior Compliance Specialist II joins Spring Health at a pivotal moment: the active integration of Alma, a recently acquired organization, into a unified compliance program
- In the near term, this role will focus on learning Alma’s GRC tools and control environment, mapping them against Spring Health’s existing frameworks, and helping build a consolidated compliance organization
- Longer term, this person will own and lead enterprise compliance programs across SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and ITGC-SOX. This is a full time position that is fully remote. Travel is limited
- Serve as a primary compliance resource embedded in the Alma-to-Spring Health integration effort, building a working understanding of Alma's GRC architecture, tooling, vendor relationships, and audit history
- Map Alma's existing control environment against Spring Health's compliance frameworks, identifying gaps, redundancies, and opportunities for harmonization
- Partner with engineering, IT, security, and legal stakeholders across both organizations to facilitate a structured transition of compliance obligations, evidence, and tooling into a unified program
- Communicate integration status, risk findings, and program recommendations clearly to senior compliance leadership throughout the transition
- Own and strategically lead enterprise-level compliance programs, including SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and ITGC-SOX, from planning through execution and continuous improvement
- Lead complex risk assessments and translate technical, regulatory, and operational risk into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership
- Provide strategic insights and regular updates to leadership, including risk trends, audit readiness, compliance metrics, and recommendations for investment or prioritization
- Lead the development and operationalization of Spring Health's AI governance program, establishing policies, risk frameworks, and control standards that address the unique compliance and ethical considerations of AI and ML systems
- Build and maintain AI-specific compliance documentation including AI use registers, model risk assessments, and governance procedures aligned to regulatory expectations
- Monitor the evolving global AI regulatory landscape (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and others) and proactively advise leadership on impact to Spring Health's operations and product roadmap
- Conduct compliance vendor reviews with a particular focus on AI vendors, assessing data handling practices, model governance, regulatory alignment, and contractual compliance obligations
- Drive maturity of the GRC program and tooling, establishing best practices, improving automation and reporting, and ensuring high-quality, audit-ready evidence across the organization
- Integrate AI into team workflows in a structured way, such as building AI-assisted playbooks for evidence review, audit prep, and risk assessment documentation
- Evaluate new AI tools and techniques relevant to compliance and GRC work; share learnings with the team and model disciplined adoption
- Establish quality standards for AI-assisted compliance work across the team, ensuring outputs meet the rigor and auditability expected of regulated deliverables
- Mentor and guide more junior compliance team members, setting standards for quality, rigor, and professionalism across compliance deliverables
- Lead customer assurance and external stakeholder engagements for high-stakes or complex inquiries, including enterprise customer calls, escalations, and detailed security questionnaires
- What success looks like:
- Smooth execution of the Alma compliance integration, with a documented control mapping, unified tooling plan, and clear transition milestones delivered to leadership
- Strong working relationships established across both the Alma and Spring Health compliance functions, with a shared understanding of processes, tools, and priorities
- A clear path to a unified compliance organization. Gaps identified, redundancies resolved, and a roadmap in place for a consolidated program
- Successful execution and continuous improvement of SOC 2, HITRUST, ISO 27001/42001, and SOX programs with minimal audit findings and efficient remediation cycles
- A functioning internal AI governance program with foundational policies, risk assessments, and controls in place for key AI systems
- Strong cross‑functional partnerships, where compliance is viewed as a trusted advisor and enabler, not a blocker
Our take
Large companies often provide employees with mental health services, but small businesses find it challenging to offer similar support. Additionally, existing support systems are usually generalised, failing to deliver the personalised mental healthcare that individuals need. To address this gap, Spring Health has developed AI-driven tools for employers to create tailored mental wellness plans for their employees, including treatment options, daily routines, and medication plans based on individual data.
Spring Health has recently expanded its services to the family and pediatric space through the acquisition of Weldon, offering mental wellness guidance to parents. This expansion includes chats with therapists, social workers, and parenting coaches, as well as group support with other parents and access to educational content. By focusing on personalised care, Spring Health aims to enhance mental wellness support for families alongside its existing employee services.
The behavioural health market is projected to grow to $242B by 2027. While many solutions prioritise fast access to therapy or meditation, Spring Health differentiates itself by emphasising the right type of care for each individual. With substantial funding raised and a 2026 placement on the TIME100 Most Influential Companies List, Spring Health is well-positioned to continue its innovative approach to mental health services.
