About the Role

We are seeking a strategic and experienced Director of Risk Management to lead and oversee the risk management and compliance programs at a 199-bed acute care hospital in Las Cruces, NM. This high-impact leadership role is responsible for safeguarding patients, supporting providers, and ensuring regulatory excellence across the main hospital and affiliated clinics.

  • Serve as the facility's Compliance and Ethics Officer, ensuring adherence to all applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies
  • Lead compliance initiatives and promote ethical standards across the organization
  • Educate leaders, providers, and staff on risk management practices, incident reporting, and building a culture of safety and transparency
  • Develop and deliver training programs that strengthen organizational awareness and accountability
  • Work cross-functionally with clinical, administrative, and executive teams as a trusted advisor on risk and compliance matters


Qualifications Required

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Nursing (BSN) required; MSN, Healthcare Administration, or MBA strongly preferred
  • Experience: Minimum 5 years in healthcare, with at least 3 years in a Director/Manager leadership role
  • Licensure: Active RN license in New Mexico (or eligibility to obtain)
  • Certification: BLS required within 30 days of hire
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills


Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior acute healthcare risk management experience (may substitute for leadership experience)
  • Experience working in a for-profit hospital setting
  • Background in ethics and compliance programs
  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively with providers and multidisciplinary teams


Benefits Offered

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans
  • Flexible spending and health savings accounts
  • Life insurance, accident, and critical-injury insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability coverage
  • Generous paid time off and extended illness bank
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Tuition reimbursement and loan assistance
  • Employee assistance program (mental, physical, and financial wellness)
  • Professional development and growth opportunities
  • Work-from-home options available (role-dependent)
  • Relocation assistance up to $10,000
