Associate General Counsel (Healthtech)

We're building a new healthcare clearinghouse. Stedi is the world's only programmable healthcare clearinghouse, offering modern API interfaces alongside traditional real-time and batch EDI processes.

About the role

We're hiring an Associate General Counsel with high potential who is excited to grow with the business. Healthcare experience is strongly preferred – lived experience in the regulatory and commercial complexity of healthcare infrastructure, payers, providers, or healthtech is ideal.

Responsibilities

• Be a strategic partner across Stedi, using your legal and regulatory expertise to further our business interests, accelerate deals, and remove blockers.
• Partner closely with the Head of Legal to handle all of Stedi’s legal needs; as the second legal hire for a rapidly growing business with complex and interesting legal work, you’ll have a tremendous opportunity to shape the role.
• Own customer contracting from first redline through signature, working closely with the Head of Legal to automate all but the most complex edge cases.
• Drive payer trading partner agreements and key vendor agreements to close quickly and within our risk profile while maintaining our rigorous compliance standards.
• Serve as Product Counsel for world-class engineers and PMs building innovative offerings in a highly regulated environment.
• Improve, expand, and automate playbooks and workflows.
• Take on new areas based on interest and business needs.

Requirements

You are bar-admitted and ready to take on a role with broad ownership. You have healthcare experience, whether through BigLaw or in-house.

You are comfortable with high-volume work and shifting priorities, and you maintain high quality through effective systems and habits.
