ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are hiring a Fractional GRC Manager (part-time, ~20 hrs/week) to build and own our compliance function.
Freed operates in a highly regulated environment (SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA) with PHI flowing across 150+ vendors. Today, compliance work is fragmented across senior leaders, creating inefficiencies, audit friction, and product delays.
This role will act as the single accountable owner for Governance, Risk, and Compliance, responsible for maintaining audit readiness, unblocking product and vendor workflows, and reducing the compliance burden on engineering and leadership.
This is a hands-on, embedded operator role - not advisory. You will work closely with Finance, Engineering, Infrastructure, Legal, and GTM teams.

Manage auditor relationships and streamline evidence collection
Maintain continuous audit readiness via Drata

Vendor Compliance & Risk Management

Build and maintain a centralized vendor registry with PHI exposure mapping
Establish fast, repeatable onboarding processes
Partner with Engineering on vendor security assessments
Policy & Governance
Audit and remediate ~30 existing policies with outdated ownership structures
Replace “phantom roles” (e.g., Security Officer) with real owners
Establish a meaningful policy review cadence
Draft new policies (data retention, vendor management, access controls)
Compliance Operations
Own and operate Drata (controls, evidence, personnel tasks)
Manage Trust Center accuracy and external posture
Handle customer security questionnaires
Support Sales with compliance documentation for enterprise deals
Risk & Incident Support
Document PHI data flows and system boundaries
Support incident response from a compliance perspective
Stay current on HIPAA and regulatory developments
5+ years in GRC, security compliance, or related roles (startup experience strongly preferred)
Deep experience with SOC 2 and HIPAA (hands-on ownership, not advisory)
Strong familiarity with vendor risk management, BAAs, DPAs, and audits
Experience with tools like Drata or similar compliance platforms
Ability to operate independently in a fractional, high-ownership role
Strong judgment - able to make pragmatic tradeoffs, not over-engineer
Exposure to HITRUST or ISO 27001 frameworks
Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering and GTM teams
Background in scaling compliance functions from early-stage
Competitive salary and equity in a high-growth company
Opportunity to make an immediate impact
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Unlimited paid time off
Company-sponsored annual retreats
401(k) plan to support your long-term financial goals
Commuter stipend for San Francisco-based employees

Freed Insights
What We Do
At Freed, we’re on a mission to give clinicians their time back - because healthcare professionals should be caring for patients, not drowning in paperwork. Every year, doctors and clinicians spend thousands of hours documenting care. That’s time lost to late nights, burnout, and administrative overload. Freed is changing that. We’ve built a powerful, AI-driven medical scribe that listens in on clinician-patient conversations and automatically generates detailed, structured SOAP notes: fast, accurate, and fully customizable. No more typing through lunch breaks or finishing charts after hours. Freed is smart, secure, and actually helpful. It learns each clinician’s style and adapts accordingly. With features like Smart Visit Prep, Magic Edit, and Instant Patient Instructions, Freed is designed to fit seamlessly into a clinician’s day and give them back what they value most: time, focus, and peace of mind. We launched in 2023, and in just over a year, 20,000+ clinicians across more than 650 healthcare organizations have already joined the Freed movement. Why? Because it works. Clinicians report saving 2+ hours per day, finishing charts on time, and finally reclaiming their evenings. Our team is a unique blend of engineers, doctors, builders, and doers. We’re obsessed with the product, relentless about feedback, and deeply aligned around one clear purpose: making healthcare better by helping clinicians thrive. Backed by world-class investors and moving fast, we’re just getting started. If you’re excited about AI, healthcare, and building tools that make a real difference in people’s lives, you’ll love it here. Come help us build the future of care. 💙
