Senior Corporate Counsel

Denver, Colorado

Frontera Health is revolutionizing pediatric healthcare by developing a cutting-edge, tech-enabled platform that delivers essential therapies to rural families. Our platform leverages AI/ML to create a robust video-based data model for early intervention and developmental disorders. By collaborating closely with parents, caregivers, and clinical partners, we’re bridging the gap in access to care, improving health equity, and providing personalized treatment plans. Backed by leading investors like Lightspeed and Lux, Frontera Health is poised for rapid growth.

Our ABA direct services are designed to meet the unique needs of children in underserved communities, providing them with the support and resources they require to reach their full potential. We are passionate about ensuring that every child, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status, has access to high-quality healthcare. By leveraging our technology platform and partnering with local providers, we are able to deliver effective ABA therapy to families who may otherwise have limited access to these essential services.

About the Role
Frontera Health is looking for our first in-house attorney — a Senior Corporate Counsel who’s excited to roll up their sleeves, own the full spectrum of legal and regulatory work, and help us grow responsibly.

This is not a “keep the trains running” legal job. You’ll be sitting at the table with our CEO and leadership team, weighing in on major business decisions, helping us navigate healthcare regulations, and shaping how we work with partners, payers, and families. You’ll balance protecting the company with enabling innovation, and you’ll be the person we turn to on everything from contracts and compliance to data privacy and acquisitions.

If you thrive in environments where the playbook isn’t written yet, and you want to build the legal function inside a fast-moving healthcare technology company, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

  • Be the legal function. You’ll own all things legal, regulatory, and risk-related at Frontera.
  • Counsel on big decisions. Support leadership and the board on corporate governance, M&A, partnerships, and market expansion.
  • Build the legal infrastructure. Draft and negotiate contracts, design compliance programs, and set policies that scale with the business.
  • Navigate healthcare law. Guide the company through HIPAA, Medicaid/Medicare, CMS rules, and state-specific regulations.
  • Protect data and privacy. Oversee policies and practices for HIPAA, GDPR, and other data protection frameworks.
  • Partner cross-functionally. Work side-by-side with product, operations, finance, and clinical teams to make sure we’re innovating responsibly.
  • Manage outside counsel smartly. Bring in specialized expertise when needed, but keep ownership in-house.
  • Stay ahead of the curve. Track legal trends in healthcare, tech, and AI, and translate them into proactive strategies.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • J.D. and active bar membership.
  • 8–12 years of legal experience, ideally a mix of law firm and in-house, with deep exposure to healthcare or healthtech.
  • Strong foundation in healthcare regulations (HIPAA, CMS, Medicaid/Medicare, state rules).
  • Experience handling a broad mix of legal issues — M&A, corporate governance, contracts, privacy/security, employment.
  • Comfortable being the sole in-house lawyer; you like ownership and can toggle between strategic advice and hands-on execution.
  • Clear, pragmatic communicator who can make legal issues understandable and actionable.
  • Excited by the challenge of building in a high-growth environment.
  • Bonus: familiarity with the use of AI in healthcare.

Why Join Frontera Health:

At Frontera Health, we’re on a mission to reimagine how families access autism and behavioral health services. As our first in-house counsel, you’ll shape not just our legal framework, but how we grow as a company.

You’ll have a seat at the table, work with a sharp and motivated leadership team, and be trusted with meaningful ownership from day one. This is a chance to stretch beyond “traditional legal work”,  to influence strategy, build systems that scale, and help an early-stage company make a real impact in healthcare.

We have determined a salary range for this position that takes into account several factors including experience, knowledge, education, skills, and abilities. Please note that the salary information is a general guideline and the exact salary will be determined based on the individual’s qualifications and experience, with consideration given to the factors listed above. All full time employee benefits include a stake in shared success through stock options, health benefits, 401(k) plan, and responsible PTO.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
