Remote

Cadence is the clinical AI company automating the treatment of chronic disease.

Grounded in partnerships with more than 20 leading health systems, deep EMR integrations, dedicated medical group, and experience serving a population of more than 100,000 patients, the system learns from real-world care delivery, improving as it scales.

The Role

Cadence is hiring a Deputy General Counsel to help lead and scale our legal function as we continue building the infrastructure for continuous, proactive care for people living with chronic conditions.

Reporting to the General Counsel, this leader will oversee key areas of Cadence’s legal work, including commercial contracting, healthcare regulatory, labor and employment, insurance, intellectual property, and other strategic legal priorities. The Deputy General Counsel will manage a team of attorneys, partner closely with leaders across the business, and help ensure the legal team provides timely, practical, business-minded advice while maintaining strong risk discipline.

This is a senior leadership role for an attorney who can operate strategically and operationally: managing people, running legal processes, advising executives, overseeing risk decisions, and keeping the legal team focused, responsive, and accountable.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead core areas of Cadence’s legal function, including commercial contracting, healthcare regulatory, labor and employment, insurance, intellectual property, and related strategic matters.
  • Manage, coach, and develop a team of attorneys, including setting priorities, giving feedback, evaluating performance, and contributing to compensation review processes.
  • Run and prepare for legal team meetings, ensuring clear agendas, decision-making, project ownership, and follow-through.
  • Track all legal team projects, deadlines, risks, dependencies, and owners to ensure the team is operating with clarity and accountability.
  • Oversee commercial contracting workflows, with a focus on improving time to completion, stakeholder experience, and consistency of legal positions.
  • Manage outside counsel relationships, including scoping work, reviewing performance, monitoring budgets, and ensuring spend remains aligned with business priorities.
  • Partner with the General Counsel on strategic risk decisions, including when to escalate, when to accept risk, and how to communicate tradeoffs to senior leaders.
  • Partner effectively with the Chief Compliance Officer, ensuring clear coordination across legal, compliance, risk, and governance matters.

What You Need

  • JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • 10+ years of legal experience, including in-house leadership experience in a high-growth, regulated, healthcare, technology, or care delivery environment.
  • Strong experience across commercial contracting, healthcare regulatory matters, and legal operations.
  • Working knowledge of federal and state healthcare regulations, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, Civil Monetary Penalties Law, and clinical licensure and scope-of-practice requirements. Experience with HIPAA and privacy law is a plus. Experience contracting with payers is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage and develop attorneys, including prioritization, feedback, performance management, and team planning.
  • Excellent judgment on legal and business risk, with the ability to distinguish between theoretical risk and practical risk.
  • Experience managing outside counsel and legal budgets.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where legal must be rigorous, responsive, and commercially practical.
  • Fluency with AI research and productivity tools and the ability to evaluate AI-driven insights critically, distinguishing signal from noise in a fast-moving information environment.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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.
