Requirements
• 5+ years of legal experience, including at least 2 years in-house • Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth start-up environment (healthcare preferred) • Hands-on ownership of complex processes like commercial contracting at scale, and the judgment to balance risk and trade-offs with the right mix of fidelity and velocity. • Strong emotional intelligence — you will be the face of Legal to cross-functional partners on matters that may be escalated, time-sensitive, or both.
