Senior Compliance & Whistleblowing Specialist

This role is about protecting the conscience of healthcare in Saudi Arabia.

Senior Compliance & Whistleblowing Specialist

Most professionals work inside systems.

A rare few are trusted to protect them when they are tested .

At the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, our existence is not just administrative.

We exist to protect the credibility of healthcare , the fairness of professional practice, and the public’s trust in those who care for lives .

This role sits exactly at that fault line, where ethics meet pressure, where silence competes with courage, and where institutional integrity is either proven or lost .

Why does this role exist?

Whistleblowing is not about complaints.

Compliance is not about policies.

This role exists because:

• When integrity fails, patients pay the price
• When whistleblowers are not protected, truth disappears
• When risks are not identified early, reputation collapses late

Your work will directly influence SCFHS:

• Detects ethical fractures before they become national issues
• Protects professionals who choose honesty over comfort
• Identifies systemic risks hidden beneath “acceptable” behavior
• Strengthens trust in healthcare regulation across the Kingdom

What you will actually control

You will not “support” compliance.

You will own critical parts of it .

You will be trusted too:

• Independently handle medium to high-sensitivity whistleblowing cases , the ones others hesitate to touch
• Decide what deserves escalation, investigation, or protection, and defend those decisions with evidence
• Investigate objectively, document rigorously, and stand behind your findings when scrutiny is high
• Protect whistleblowers with absolute confidentiality, legally, ethically, and personally
• Read patterns across cases, not just incidents. And expose root causes leadership must address
• Use data, dashboards, and analytics to turn signals into foresight
• Influence how policies, tools, and controls evolve, not after failure, but before

If you’re looking for a role where your judgment genuinely matters, this is it.

Who thrives here

This role is for someone who:

• Can stay calm while handling sensitive truths others would rather ignore
• Is trusted because of how they think, not how loudly they speak
• Understands that integrity is built through systems and courage
• Can write reports that enlighten internal committees and external authorities
• Uses data to demonstrate uncomfortable stories clearly
• Values independence, discretion, and moral clarity

What SCFHS gives you (beyond a paycheck)

We don’t offer “benefits.” !

We remove friction from your life so you can do invaluable work efficiently.

• Your effort compounds financially
• Yearly bonuses and competitive increments that recognize sustained impact, not noise.
• Your family is supported, not sidelined
• Schooling allowance and health insurance that includes your parents, because peace of mind is a professional asset .
• Your time is treated with respect
• Flexible hours and remote options built on trust, not micromanagement.
• Your energy is protected
• More than 25 days of paid leave, because clarity and judgment require recovery.
• Your capability keeps growing
• Continuous training and development that expands your influence, not just your CV.
• Your environment reinforces your values
• A workplace where ethics are practiced daily, not celebrated only after crises.

Be honest with yourself

If you want to:

• Be trusted with sensitive truths
• Shape how integrity is protected at a national level
• Do work that quietly but decisively matters

Then this role is calling you .
