Responsibilities

Write, update, and enact HIPAA policies, checklists, deployment guides, and audit evidence packages.

Manage Business Associate Agreement (BAA) obligations and coordinate with legal and external counsel on PHI determination questions and emerging regulatory requirements.

Contribute to Anthropic's broader compliance program, including adjacent frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53) where they intersect with HIPAA obligations.
