Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we’re the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.
The result is a rare “win win” — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.
We are seeking an exceptional Head of Compliance and Regulatory to join our Legal team. This role will report to the General Counsel. You will play a leading role in the design and execution of Garner’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) strategy.

- Serve as the internal point-person for the Revenue, Marketing, and other teams on day-to-day regulatory and compliance-related challenges and questions
- Manage Garner’s ongoing compliance obligations, including its license application and renewal program and other required regulatory filings
- Partner with the Product Team to provide guidance on new product initiatives and changes to existing products, ensuring that innovations remain compliant with applicable rules
- Develop and maintain formal protocols for internal and external investigations, risk assessments, and incident response preparation
- Provide generalist legal support on an as-needed basis
- 7+ years of experience in regulatory and compliance, with practical working knowledge of key regulatory regimes applicable to Garner
- A J.D. from a U.S. law school and admitted to a state bar
- Proven experience building compliance programs from the ground up in a high-growth or startup environment
- A willingness to “roll up your sleeves” and do whatever is necessary to ensure company success
- Ideally, experience working in a rapidly-evolving startup environment
- A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback
