EMS Compliance Officer
About The Position
The Wake County EMS Compliance Officer helps keep our EMS system safe, compliant and ready. We operate one of the busiest, most respected 9-1-1 systems in North Carolina. We're seeking a Compliance Officer who thinks in systems, identifies risk before it becomes tomorrow's headline and translates HIPAA, OSHA and billing regulations into practices our crews can use on scene. This isn't a back-office paperwork role. You'll sit at the table with EMS leadership, build the risk register and dashboards they actually use, investigate incidents that matter, and help keep the people who respond to Wake County's worst days safe. We hold ourselves to a high standard: integrity, accountability and continuous improvement aren't just posters on the wall here; they're how we run the system. You'll work alongside people who take the mission seriously and value each other's well-being just as much. If you want compliance work with visible, real-world stakes, this is it. Apply today as we move fast for the right candidate.
