Senior Compliance Associate

About The Position

Verse is looking for a Senior Compliance Associate to independently own the ongoing pieces of our compliance program. This role is a mix of desk work and hands-on facility work: you'll track and manage the ongoing pieces of our compliance program (policies, certifications, audits, documentation, deadlines), and you'll also be the on-site point person when third-party auditors or inspectors visit our facility — walking them through the space, answering questions, and making sure what's on paper matches what they see in practice. This role requires someone who has been through the audit experience before, ideally in a healthcare or DME/DMEPOS setting, and knows firsthand what regulators and accrediting organizations look for. This is a great fit for someone who is detail-oriented, comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy, and who takes ownership of following through on open items until they're closed — including when that means pushing back on internal stakeholders to protect compliance standards.

Requirements

3+ years of compliance experience in a healthcare setting (required) — DME/DMEPOS, home health, or another Medicare-regulated provider/supplier environment strongly preferred
Direct, hands-on experience being audited — you've personally supported or led a company through a Medicare audit, accreditation survey, state inspection, or similar regulatory review (required)
Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple ongoing trackers/deadlines simultaneously with minimal oversight
Excellent attention to detail — comfortable being the person who catches the small thing others miss
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including writing up findings and communicating directly with regulators, auditors, and senior stakeholders
Comfortable working both independently at a desk and in person on the facility floor, including hosting external auditors/inspectors
Professional presence and composure when representing Verse to outside auditors or regulatory officers, including under pressure or unannounced visits
Proficiency with spreadsheets/trackers (Excel/Google Sheets) and general office tools; experience with compliance/GRC software a plus
A proactive, ownership-driven mindset — someone who can independently identify gaps, close the loop on open items, and know when and how to escalate

Nice To Haves

Direct DME/DMEPOS experience specifically, including familiarity with the Medicare DMEPOS Supplier Standards and accreditation process
Experience building or improving compliance tracking systems/processes from scratch
Experience mentoring or training junior team members on compliance processes

Responsibilities

Maintain and update compliance trackers, calendars, and checklists (licenses, certifications, permits, renewals, training completions, audit action items, etc.)
Monitor upcoming deadlines and proactively flag items before they become urgent
Organize and maintain compliance documentation and recordkeeping systems, ensuring materials are audit-ready at all times
Support internal audits and external inspections by gathering documentation, coordinating schedules, and preparing materials
Draft and update standard operating procedures (SOPs), checklists, and job aids as processes evolve
Assist in preparing reports and dashboards summarizing compliance status for leadership
Help onboard and track completion of required trainings/certifications across teams
Serve as the on-site point of contact when third-party auditors, inspectors, or regulatory officers visit Verse's facility
Coordinate scheduling and logistics ahead of each visit, ensuring the facility and relevant staff are prepared
Accompany auditors throughout the on-site walk-through, answering questions and facilitating access to documentation, staff, or areas of the facility as needed
Take detailed notes during the walk-through, including any observations, findings, or requests made by the auditor
Conduct internal “pre-visit” walk-throughs beforehand to proactively identify and resolve issues before an official visit
Compile and distribute post-visit summaries, tracking any corrective action items through to resolution
Build working relationships with internal teams so facility staff are consistently audit-ready, not just before a scheduled visit
Escalate urgent or high-risk findings promptly to compliance leadership
Serve as the go-to resource for compliance questions from staff, using judgment on what to resolve directly versus escalate to the Director of Compliance Operations
Support the rollout of new policies or procedures, including communication and training logistics
Assist with special projects (e.g., new regulatory requirement rollouts, audit prep, policy revisions)
