Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children’s) is seeking a collaborative, mission-driven compliance leader to serve as its next Chief Compliance & Integrity Officer (CCIO). This individual will lead the enterprise-wide compliance and integrity program, ensuring alignment with organizational strategy and regulatory requirements, and fostering a strong culture of ethics, accountability, and patient-centered care.
Lurie Children’s is a nationally recognized pediatric academic medical center dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of children through exceptional clinical care, groundbreaking research, and medical education. As the pediatric training hospital for Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Lurie Children’s combines leading subspecialty expertise with a strong commitment to family-centered care, serving children from infancy through young adulthood across a wide range of complex and routine conditions.
This role reports administratively to the Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative and Legal Officer, with a functional reporting relationship to the CEO and the Board of Trustees. The CCIO will serve as a trusted advisor and partner to senior leadership and the Board in proactively identifying, assessing, and managing compliance and regulatory risk across a complex pediatric academic medical center. A key priority for this role will be the thoughtful optimization of the existing compliance program—distinguishing between foundational, high-value compliance activities and those that may be redundant or less impactful. The CCIO will identify opportunities to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and strengthen overall effectiveness, ensuring that improvements are implemented in a manner that preserves regulatory rigor and avoids unintended risks or adverse organizational impacts.
Lurie Children’s has a strong and well-established culture of compliance and integrity. This leader will build upon that foundation by further strengthening engagement, consistency, and continuous improvement across the organization. The incoming leader should be a visible, approachable leader who brings sound judgment, intellectual curiosity, and demonstrated strength as a people leader, with the ability to build trust, develop teams, and foster cross-functional collaboration. This leader will serve as a trusted sounding board to colleagues, helping to thoughtfully evaluate potential risks, benefits, and trade-offs associated with strategic and operational decisions.
The CCIO will ensure compliance education, communication, and engagement are embedded throughout the organization and serve as a driver of operational excellence. The incoming CCIO must be comfortable navigating a complex, evolving regulatory landscape and translating requirements into practical, organization-wide approaches that support both compliance and the delivery of high-quality pediatric care.
The successful candidate must have a Bachelor's degree and an advanced degree, such as a J.D., Master's Degree, or other advanced degree. CHC certification is required within 12 months of hire if not already certified. In addition, candidates must have an outstanding record of achievement with at least ten years of experience in healthcare and knowledge of all elements of corporate compliance and privacy programs, knowledge of laws, rules, and regulations regarding privacy, healthcare billing and coding, healthcare delivery and operations, research, teaching, and conflict of interest management. The successful candidate must also have experience in working with the board and board committees on corporate compliance matters. Prior experience in an academic medical center or complex integrated healthcare delivery system is strongly desired. The successful candidate will also be a transparent and collaborative leader comfortable spearheading and supporting change, rather than identifying fault, in a complex environment.
The anticipated base compensation range for this position is $270,189- $401,906 annually, commensurate with the successful candidate’s experience, plus eligibility for a bonus based on achievement of organizational and individual goals. Final determination of a successful candidate’s starting pay will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to, credentials and experience within the industry.
