Executive Leadership & Strategy

Develop and execute the company's overall legal strategy, ensuring legal priorities support business growth and long-term company objectives.

Provide thoughtful, practical guidance that balances legal risk with commercial opportunity.

Partner across every function including Sales, Product, Engineering, Operations, Finance, People, Security, and Clinical to enable the business to move quickly while protecting the company.

Legal Leadership

Lead, coach, and develop a small but high performing legal team consisting of an Associate General Counsel and Commercial Counsel.

Establish priorities, allocate work effectively, and continue building a scalable legal function capable of supporting a rapidly growing healthcare technology company.

Foster a culture of partnership, accountability, responsiveness, and practical problem solving.

Commercial & Operational Legal Support

Negotiate, draft, and advise on a wide range of complex commercial agreements, strategic partnerships, vendor relationships, customer contracts, and healthcare agreements.

Oversee the company's commercial contracting strategy and continuously improve legal processes that enable faster business execution.

Partner closely with business leaders to remove friction while maintaining appropriate legal protections.

Corporate Governance & Risk Management

Conduct legal due diligence and structure transactions that support the company's long-term growth.

Special Considerations

While we are a remote-first company with employees located across the U.S., we do have a NYC office located at Penn 1. Many of our local employees come into the office on Wednesdays for collaboration and connection (and lunch!).

What will make you successful here in this role:

  • You think like a business leader first and a lawyer at the same time.
  • You enjoy building organizations, not just maintaining them.
  • You are equally comfortable presenting to the Board, coaching your team, and negotiating contracts yourself.
  • You know when to say "no," but more importantly, you know how to help the business get to "yes."
  • You lead with humility, sound judgment, and a collaborative mindset.
  • You thrive in lean environments where everyone contributes and no work is beneath the leader.

Requirements

J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with a state bar.

12+ years of legal experience, including meaningful experience in both a leading law firm and an in-house legal department supporting healthcare, healthcare technology, SaaS, AI, or other highly regulated technology businesses.

Prior experience leading and developing legal teams while remaining actively engaged in legal execution.

Demonstrated success advising executive leadership teams on complex legal and business matters.

Exceptional commercial judgment with the ability to provide practical, business-focused advice rather than simply identifying legal risk.

Outstanding negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.

Strong experience with commercial contracting, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, litigation management, and strategic transactions.

Proven ability to thrive in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where priorities evolve quickly.
