Associate General Counsel

About the role

This is a fully remote role within the United States. We’re eliminating the financial complexity of healthcare – and we need a lawyer who also thinks like a business person. This is not a ticket-queue job. It’s a seat at the table.

Responsibilities

• Be the first point of contact for legal questions across the company – Sales, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Marketing, People Operations, and more – triaging and resolving what you can, and collaborating with the GC on what needs to go further.
• Own the contracting function end to end – drafting and negotiating the full range of agreements across customer, vendor, and operational matters, including MSAs, BAAs, SOWs, NDAs, ICAs, and Order Forms.
• Build and own the infrastructure that keeps Legal running – the systems, processes, and programs that let the company move fast and stay compliant as it grows — and continuously look for ways to make them smarter, whether through AI tooling, better platforms, or cleaner workflows.
• Interface with outside counsel on specialized matters – providing context, managing workflow, and implementing guidance back into the business.
• Stay on top of the legal and regulatory landscape that shapes our business – healthcare data, price transparency, AI governance, privacy, and adjacent areas – and translate what’s changing into clear, actionable guidance for the team, including supporting government affairs and policy engagement as TQ’s visibility in the market grows.
• Help build Legal’s presence and credibility across the company – through clear, proactive communication, internal guides and playbooks, and the kind of education that helps teammates move faster and make better decisions.
• Support board governance and corporate policy work – maintaining records, preparing consents and minutes, and assisting with board materials as the company scales.

Requirements

• JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one US state.
• 4-7 years of transactional legal experience, with a meaningful focus on commercial contracts – at a firm, in-house, or both.
• Strong working knowledge of SaaS and data licensing; experience negotiating with enterprise buyers is a plus.
• Comfort with healthcare-adjacent regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, No Surprises Act, CMS price transparency) – or a genuine eagerness to learn them.

Qualifications

• You give guidance that actually helps people make decisions – not advice that hedges every direction and leaves the other person no better off than before they asked.
• You have a low ego and high ownership.
• You are intellectually curious and adaptable – you want to understand the business deeply, not just the questions that come across your desk.
• You are comfortable being the only lawyer in the room – and confident enough to say "I don't know yet, but I'll find out" without losing credibility.

Skills

• Hands-on experience with Ironclad or another CLM platform.
• Experience with managed care, payer/provider/employer relations, data commercialization, or consumer payments.
• Exposure to IP basics – trademark, patent fundamentals, or working with IP outside counsel.

Benefits

• Competitive pay with equity options
• Stellar health care plan options (Medical, Dental & Vision), with FSA, DCFSA, & HSA options
• Company-sponsored disability & life insurance
• Unlimited PTO
• 401(k) + 4% Matching
• Flexible working hours
• $750 work-from-home setup budget
• Paid biannual in-person company summits
• Quarterly $150 co-hanging stipend to meet up with coworkers
• Monthly $100 health and wellness benefit
• Generous paid family leave
• Annual $1,200 learning & development stipend
