Senior Counsel, Health Tech

About the role

This role is for a health tech specialist: a practitioner who has mastered health tech law, built real expertise through years of client work, and is ready to put that knowledge to work in a new way.

About the Role

We're building out a dedicated health tech practice, and we're looking for an attorney who has spent their career going deep on this vertical - not broad.

You'll sit directly with our health tech clients, serving as their primary point of contact for the full range of healthcare-related legal needs: HIPAA and health data privacy guidance, FDA and digital health regulatory questions, and reviewing and negotiating BAAs and other healthcare-specific contracts. You'll also help build the institutional infrastructure that makes everyone around you sharper: reviewing and improving our BAA and healthcare contract templates, developing precedent libraries, and training attorneys who run into healthcare questions in the course of their broader work.

If you're the kind of lawyer who genuinely loves the craft of healthcare law, keeps up with every regulatory development, and finds real satisfaction in being the go-to resource for a growing group of health tech companies, this was built for you.

What You'll Do

Client Work

• Sit directly with our health tech clients as a trusted advisor across HIPAA, compliance, and other healthcare regulatory questions, providing guidance that reflects current law, real-world practice, and seasoned judgment
• Review and negotiate BAAs and other healthcare-specific contracts, including vendor, data-sharing, and health data agreements
• Serve as a trusted subject matter resource for both clients and internal attorneys on healthcare and health tech questions

Knowledge Development

• Review, revise, and improve our BAA and healthcare contract templates and standard documents
• Build a healthcare and health tech precedent library that reflects current best practices, and integrate it into the product
• Develop training materials and lead sessions for other attorneys who encounter healthcare questions in the course of their broader work
• Contribute to internal knowledge databases with practical, usable healthcare guidance - not just legal citations

What We're Looking For

Background & Experience

• J.D. from an accredited law school; active bar membership in good standing
• 8+ years of deep, focused experience in healthcare regulatory and health tech transactional work - ideally with a track record that includes top-tier firm work, a leading in-house health tech role, or a regulatory agency background
• Hands-on experience drafting and negotiating BAAs and other healthcare-specific contracts
• Encyclopedic knowledge of HIPAA, FDA, and digital health regulatory frameworks, and the kind of current awareness that comes from genuinely caring about the space
• Real enthusiasm for teaching and knowledge-sharing - you're not protective of what you know, you want to multiply it
• Comfortable working with attorneys across experience levels, from first-year associates to senior partners
• Clear, confident communicator who can translate regulatory complexity into practical guidance for health tech founders and teams

How You Work

• You are fast and good
• You know how to draft and revise a BAA in your sleep
• You live and breathe health regulatory frameworks
• You use AI tools in your practice today, not theoretically
• You produce clean, sophisticated work product
• You communicate directly: clear recommendations, appropriate caveats, no filler

Why This Role

The best healthcare attorneys often find themselves doing work that underutilizes what they actually know, buried in generalist matters, isolated in a narrow advisory function, or constantly starting from scratch because there's no institutional memory to build on.

This role is different. You'll spend your time on the healthcare and health tech work you're actually expert in, sitting directly with the clients who need that expertise, with the added dimension of shaping how that expertise lives in the organization long after any individual matter is closed.

Engagement Options

We recognize that the best specialists don't always fit a standard mold. This role is open to:

• Full-time employees seeking a primary position
• Part-time employees looking for meaningful, substantive work at reduced hours
• Contract arrangements for specialists who prefer to maintain an independent practice

Additional information

Compensation is pro-rated for part-time arrangements. All engagement types are eligible for the same quality of work, access, and integration with our team.

The Structure

This is a remote-first role with annual in-person on-sites for team collaboration, planning, and the occasional celebration. We trust you to do your best work from wherever you do your best work!
