Description:
We're looking for a Senior Counsel to provide broad support for A Provider of Healthcare Services's legal team. First and foremost, we're looking for a smart, detail-oriented generalist, but experience with commercial contracting is necessary, and experience with regulatory compliance (particularly related to privacy and/or healthcare) is preferable. This role reports to the Head of Legal.Responsibilities will include:
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a wide range of agreements, including MSAs, business associate agreements, vendor agreements, partnership agreements, NDAs, and employment-related agreements.
- Working closely and collaboratively with other business functions and providing guidance and practical advice related to product development and features, internal operations and policies, and day-to-day issues and challenges impacting the company and our clients.
- Supporting regulatory compliance by developing an understanding of applicable requirements and communicating those requirements and the related risks to business stakeholders in a practical, digestible way.
- Liaising with external counsel, auditors and other service providers.
- Managing existing legal processes and operations and helping to develop new processes as the company continues to scale.
- Assisting with corporate maintenance, including board matters and financings.
Ideal candidate has:
- 3+ years of experience. A mix of in-house and law firm experience is preferred.
- A J.D. from a U.S. law school and admitted to a state bar.
- No fear of technical, finance, or data science concepts.
- A willingness to “roll up your sleeves” and do whatever is necessary to ensure company success.
- Experience working in a rapidly-evolving startup environment.
- Experience reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements is required.
- Regulatory/compliance experience is preferred but not required. Experience dealing with privacy regulation, or regulation applicable to healthcare (e.g. CRPA; HIPAA) is even better.
- A desire to support our mission to improve the U.S. healthcare system.
What we look for at A Provider of Healthcare Services:
- Mission First: Our mission is to transform our healthcare system, delivering high quality and affordable care to all. Everything else is secondary.
- Expect Extraordinary: Our mission is audacious, so we will only succeed by producing exceptional results. We continually push ourselves and each other to new heights and beyond our comfort zones.
- Courageous Communication: Transparency and candor are imperative to realizing our potential as an organization and as individuals—even when uncomfortable. Many companies talk about these values. We live them.
- Supportive community: We know that people do their best work and learn the most when they feel genuinely supported and cared for. It's also more fun that way.
