Near North Health in Chicago, Illinois is creating an Executive Director of Enterprise Risk and Compliance position to give compliance and enterprise risk the independence, visibility, and executive authority the work requires. The role joins a mission-driven FQHC at a consequential point where the organization is consolidating care delivery, strengthening its operating foundation, and responding candidly to historical reporting discrepancies that it identified and self-reported.

The Executive Director will integrate compliance, enterprise risk management, privacy, insurance, claims, and regulatory monitoring into one practical framework. Primary responsibilities include maintaining the enterprise risk register, establishing a disciplined annual work plan, overseeing confidential reporting and investigations, strengthening coding and billing oversight, and translating material risk for executive leaders and the Board.

The strongest candidate will combine deep healthcare compliance experience with required FQHC knowledge, sound judgment, and the confidence to deliver an unwelcome finding without becoming an obstacle to the mission. This is an ideal role for a credible executive who can distinguish the material from the immaterial, build trust across functions, and make accountability part of everyday work.
