• Partner with teams to design and implement processes to identify legal risk and develop practical, business-aligned mitigation strategies.
• Support AI-enabled features and data-driven tools with a focus on responsible implementation and user trust.

Privacy & Data Governance

• Advise on HIPAA and other applicable U.S. privacy frameworks, as well as global privacy considerations where relevant.
• Support the continued development, operationalization, and maintenance of the company’s privacy program.
• Advise on data use, vendor data practices, and third-party integrations to ensure appropriate protections are in place.
• Draft and maintain privacy-related documentation, including policies, internal training and guidance, and related contract terms.
• Collaborate with Security and Compliance partners to align on privacy and data governance practices.

Commercial & Contract Support

• Advise on privacy and data security provisions in vendor, partner, and customer agreements, including data sharing agreements, BAAs, DPAs, and technology integration agreements.
• Manage engagements with external counterparts on data privacy matters. 
• Partner with Commercial Legal to streamline privacy and product-related contracting processes.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Clinical, Marketing, and Operations teams to provide timely, actionable legal advice.
• Contribute to the development of scalable product review and documentation processes.
• Stay current on legal and industry developments relevant to digital health, privacy, and product innovation.

We’re looking for you to bring:

• J.D. and admission to at least one state bar
• 7+ years of legal experience, including meaningful in-house experience in technology, digital health, or similarly regulated industries
• Strong background in product counseling in a fast-paced environment, including substantial experience advising on HIPAA and broader U.S. privacy frameworks
• Experience partnering directly with product and engineering teams
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound business judgment
• Ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly to non-legal audiences

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience advising on AI-enabled or data-intensive products
• Familiarity with telehealth or digital healthcare business models
• Familiarity with laws and regulations governing employee benefit plan design, including ERISA.
• Combination of law firm and in-house experience
• Experience working in high-growth or startup environments

The base salary range for this role is $200,000 - $240,000 per year. You will also be entitled to receive equity and benefits. Individual pay decisions are based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, and skillset.

This role requires active work authorization in the US.
