Associate/Senior Legal Counsel

About the Role

This is more than an in-house legal role. As our Senior Counsel / Associate General Counsel, you'll serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, partnering across Legal, Compliance, Risk, External Affairs, and Operations to navigate complex healthcare regulations, strengthen organizational governance, and enable strategic decision-making across a multi-state organization. If you're energized by solving complex problems, influencing organizational strategy, and making a meaningful impact through your legal expertise, we'd love to meet you.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Partner directly with our Chief Legal Officer and executive leadership
• Influence strategy across a large, multi-state healthcare organization
• Work on meaningful legal matters that directly support people and communities
• Collaborate with Compliance, Risk, Operations, and Government Relations
• Join a mission-driven organization where your work truly matters

Responsibilities

No two days look exactly alike and that's part of what makes this role exciting. You'll:

• Serve as a trusted legal advisor supporting day-to-day operational decisions.
• Partner closely with Compliance and Risk on regulatory matters, Medicaid program integrity, and managed care organization (MCO) inquiries.
• Draft, negotiate, and manage a wide variety of healthcare agreements, vendor contracts, leases, and operational contracts.
• Oversee litigation and coordinate with outside counsel, insurance carriers, and risk management.
• Support corporate governance, including board resolutions, annual filings, and governance documentation.
• Partner with External Affairs to analyze proposed legislation and assess organizational impact.
• Support legal due diligence for strategic initiatives and transactions.
• Present legal guidance and emerging regulatory issues to senior leaders across the organization.

Requirements

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an ABA-accredited law school
• Active State Bar membership in good standing (and, if not licensed in Nebraska, ability to become admitted in Nebraska or register as in-house counsel)
• Seven or more years of healthcare legal experience
• Experience supporting healthcare operations, ideally within a multi-state provider organization
• Knowledge of healthcare regulations including HIPAA, HITECH, Medicaid, fraud and abuse regulations, and program integrity
• Experience negotiating healthcare contracts and advising business leaders
• The ability to translate complex legal issues into practical business guidance
• A collaborative, solutions-oriented approach to leadership and partnership

Qualities of Successful Candidates

• You enjoy building relationships.
• You believe legal teams should enable smart decisions; not simply identify risk.
• You communicate clearly, think strategically, and approach challenges with curiosity and sound judgment.
• You believe your legal career can be about more than practicing law—it can be about improving lives.
