vCIO - Healthcare IT

Allen, TX
Full Time
Experienced

Help healthcare organizations make smarter technology decisions.

We're looking for a strategic, client-facing Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) who can bridge the gap between business leadership, compliance, cybersecurity, and technology strategy.

This is not a help desk role. It is not project management. It is not traditional IT consulting.

You'll serve as a trusted advisor to healthcare organizations, helping executive teams navigate technology investments, cybersecurity risks, HIPAA compliance, data governance, and long-term technology planning.

What You'll Do

  • Lead strategic technology planning for healthcare clients

  • Develop and manage multi-year IT roadmaps

  • Conduct Quarterly and Strategic Business Reviews with executive stakeholders

  • Advise clients on technology budgeting, risk management, and modernization initiatives

  • Guide healthcare organizations on:

    • HIPAA & HITECH compliance

    • Cybersecurity strategy

    • Data governance and information management

    • Business continuity and disaster recovery

  • Facilitate HIPAA Security Risk Assessments and compliance readiness initiatives

  • Translate complex technical and security concepts into clear business recommendations

  • Act as the strategic bridge between client leadership and technical delivery teams

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of progressive IT leadership experience

  • 3+ years in a vCIO, CIO, IT Director, Technology Advisor, TAM, or strategic consulting role

  • Experience supporting healthcare organizations, medical practices, or healthcare-adjacent environments

  • Strong understanding of:

    • HIPAA and HITECH

    • Healthcare cybersecurity requirements

    • Data governance principles

    • Risk management frameworks

    • Microsoft 365, Azure, SharePoint, and Entra ID

  • Exceptional communication and executive presentation skills

  • Ability to build trusted relationships with senior leadership teams

Bonus Points

  • HITRUST experience

  • HIPAA Security Officer experience

  • CISSP, HCISPP, CISM, CRISC, CDMP, ITIL, or Microsoft certifications

  • Experience with EHR/EMR platforms such as Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks, or NextGen

You'll Thrive Here If You...

  • Think like a business advisor, not just a technologist

  • Enjoy helping executives make informed decisions

  • Can discuss cybersecurity risk without using technical jargon

  • Understand that compliance, governance, and security are business priorities

  • Love building long-term trusted client relationships

If you're passionate about helping healthcare organizations leverage technology safely, strategically, and effectively, we'd love to hear from you.
