Regulatory Compliance Research Specialist – Homecare

Mai Placement•Brooklyn, NY

3d•$80,000 - $100,000•Remote

About The Position

A growing multi-state homecare organization is seeking a highly intelligent, detail-oriented Regulatory Compliance Research Specialist to help the organization stay ahead of changing healthcare regulations. This is not a traditional compliance enforcement role. The job is to research, read, understand, and translate complex regulations into clear guidance leadership can actually use. You'll dig through state regulations, regulatory manuals, agency guidance, and updates across four states to determine exactly what the organization is required to do, where requirements may have changed, and what should be addressed before an audit ever happens. The right person is patient, extremely thorough, and genuinely good at reading complicated material and making sense of it. You don't need to be the person implementing the changes—you need to be the person who can confidently say, “Here is what the regulation requires, here is where we may have a gap, and here is what I recommend.”

Requirements

Smart, patient, analytical, and exceptionally thorough
Strong research and reading-comprehension skills
Ability to work through large, dense regulatory manuals without getting overwhelmed
Excellent at taking complicated information and turning it into something clear and actionable
Naturally curious and willing to keep researching until an answer is well-supported
Strong critical thinking and judgment
Exceptional attention to detail
Strong written communication skills
Organized enough to track requirements and changes across multiple states
Comfortable independently researching unfamiliar regulatory questions

Nice To Haves

Healthcare, homecare, compliance, legal, regulatory, quality, or policy experience is a plus
Homecare regulatory experience is valuable, but intelligence, research ability, and the ability to understand complex regulations are the bigger priority

Maintain organized documentation of regulations, interpretations, updates, and recommendations
Work with outside consultants when needed while building stronger compliance knowledge internally
