About Us

Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.

Red Cell is hiring a mission-driven Legal Counsel who wants to learn fast, work hard, and be part of a dynamic, fun, and high-performing legal team building startups.  At Red Cell, we build and invest in companies tackling some of the most challenging problems in healthcare, cyber, and national security. You’ll help make that possible by providing business-minded legal support that enables innovation and speed.  

As part of a legal team of five, you’ll report to our General Counsel and get exposure to almost everything we do. A meaningful part of your day-to-day will be supporting commercial contracting needs across Red Cell and our portfolio companies (including companies operating in healthcare), but that’s not all you’ll do. One day you might be negotiating a strategic partnership agreement; the next, helping with a financing or digging into a healthcare compliance question. You’ll learn fast, work at every level, from engineers to C-suite leaders, and play a real role in helping our mission-critical companies grow.

Our legal team is tight-knit, high-performing, and enjoys working together – team meetings are productive but also usually filled with laughs. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We treat each other with respect (even when things get stressful—which they will!), and we have zero tolerance for arrogance or unkindness. Hard work, high standards, and good humor are the foundation of everything we do. You’ll also get access and exposure to the leading edge of AI: from our incubations creating new tools and functionality to our internal teams using the latest technology to learn better and more effective ways of working.

We’re most excited about candidates with law firm and/or in-house experience who are motivated self-starters. Your exact background matters less than your drive, kindness, collaborative nature, and curiosity. We’ll support your learning and growth, and you should be the kind of person who takes ownership, moves work forward, and asks great questions along the way.

If you’re the kind of lawyer who loves variety, thrives under pressure, and wants to grow fast as part of a team—come build with us.

 What You’ll Do:

  • Support a broad range of legal matters across the organization, including contract review and negotiation, financings, and regulatory research.
  • Work closely with the Legal team and receive hands-on mentorship and exposure to legal and business decision-making.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including vendor and customer contracts, NDAs, and service agreements.
  • Assist in corporate transactions, such as financings, restructurings, and governance matters.
  • Conduct legal research and analysis on emerging laws and regulations impacting our core industries: healthcare, cyber, and national security.
  • Collaborate with business leaders and functional teams, providing pragmatic and business-minded legal advice that facilitates innovation and growth.
  • Contribute to legal team projects to improve operations, compliance, and knowledge management.
  • Adapt quickly and effectively to shifting priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Uphold and contribute to our collaborative, respectful, and high-performance team culture, where humor, humility, and hard work are valued.

Qualifications:

Required:

  • J.D. and currently licensed to practice and in good standing in your U.S. jurisdiction
  • 4+ years of in-house or corporate law firm experience
  • Team-oriented, high-energy, and proactive. You are someone who gets things done and makes the work better for everyone around them.
  • Curiosity about Red Cell’s core industries (venture, national security, cyber, healthcare)

Preferred:

  • Experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a range of commercial contracts (e.g., vendor, SaaS, services)
  • Experience supporting venture-backed or high-growth startups
  • Familiarity with healthcare technology or health regulation and compliance
  • Experience using AI legal tech or other productivity tools.

Salary Range: $180,000-$200,000 base. This represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience, skills, and other factors.

Our Red Cell Partners Benefits:

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
