This is a Stanford Health Care job.

Join Stanford Health Care as the Sr. Manager, Privacy and lead the Privacy team. This is a strategic, impact-focused leadership role in an academic medical center, offering the opportunity to shape enterprise-wide privacy and information protection programs, mentor Privacy Specialists, and drive a culture of compliance. You’ll partner with enterprise leaders across TDS/IS, the Office of General Counsel, HIMS, HR, Risk Management, and more to identify and mitigate privacy risk, maintain regulatory preparedness, and ensure timely breach reporting. If you’re energized by building scalable protections, delivering measurable program results, and guiding a high-performing team, this is your chance to influence patient privacy at a system-wide level.

In this role, you’ll assist the Sr. Director with strategic planning for proactive privacy programs, design and manage program components (training, policies, awareness campaigns, monitoring, and intranet content), and lead proactive risk assessments. You’ll oversee investigations of moderate complexity, support regulator interactions, coordinate incident response and breach reporting, and develop dashboards and reports for leadership. You’ll also champion education and awareness, maintain change control for policies, and collaborate with key partners to balance privacy risk with organizational objectives. Ideal candidates bring a bachelor’s degree with 3–5 years of people leadership, strong investigative and regulatory-interpretation experience in healthcare privacy, and a track record of navigating fast-paced environments; a JD or master’s degree is a plus. If you are motivated by leading change, mentoring a skilled team, and delivering impactful privacy outcomes in a collaborative, excellence-driven culture, this is the opportunity for you.
