Description

About MatrixCare

A multi-year Best in KLAS winner, MatrixCare is one of the largest platforms serving the post-acute and long-term care continuum.

About The Role

MatrixCare is hiring a Legal Counsel, with a focus on contract work, to draft, negotiate, and manage the company's commercial and corporate agreements during a critical standalone period. Working closely with the General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer, you will handle a high volume of healthcare-related contracts independently — customer agreements, vendor and procurement contracts, and data privacy/security agreements — and help build the templates and playbooks that let the business move faster with less legal bottleneck. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor seat for an experienced attorney who is comfortable owning their work and knowing when to elevate.

What You'll Do

• Draft, review, and negotiate customer-facing agreements, including SaaS/software license agreements, Master Service Agreements, Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), and Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)
• Draft, review, and negotiate vendor and procurement contracts, including technology vendors, managed service providers, and professional services agreements
• Support workforce-related contracting, including staffing/RPO agreements, independent contractor agreements, and consulting SOWs
• Support residual contractual matters tied to MatrixCare's separation from ResMed, including transition service agreements and related documentation
• Build and maintain contract templates, playbooks, and negotiation guardrails so Sales, Procurement, and People can self-serve on lower-risk agreements
• Partner with Information Security and Compliance on HIPAA, data privacy, and security-related contract terms
• Maintain accurate contract records and renewal visibility using the company's contract management tools
• Advise internal stakeholders on contract terms and obligations, and elevate novel or high-risk matters to the General Counsel

What Success Looks Like

• Faster contract turnaround (from request to execution) for standard agreements
• Percentage of contracts using approved templates/playbooks vs. requiring bespoke legal drafting
• On-time completion of any outstanding TSA-related or carve-out contractual work
• No material compliance or audit findings tied to contract terms within scope (BAAs, DPAs, security addenda)
• Positive stakeholder feedback from Sales, Procurement, and People on responsiveness and clarity of guidance
• Reduction in contract-related risk exposure, evidenced by fewer unresolved liability, indemnification, or renewal gaps

What You'll Bring

• J.D. and active license to practice law in at least one U.S. state
• 5+ years of experience in commercial/contracts law, in-house or at a firm with an in-house-facing practice
• Healthcare domain experience is required — for example at a healthcare technology or SaaS company, provider or payer organization, or life sciences company
• Hands-on experience drafting and negotiating SaaS/software licensing agreements, BAAs, and data privacy/security contract terms
• Working knowledge of HIPAA and healthcare data privacy requirements as they apply to commercial contracting
• Sound independent judgment: comfortable managing your own workload in a lean, remote legal team and knowing when to elevate
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and cross-functional communication skills
• Experience supporting a carve-out, divestiture, or M&A transition is a plus
• Experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools is a plus
• Post-acute care or EHR software experience is a plus

This position qualifies for a comprehensive benefits package and individual pay decisions are based on a variety of factors, such as the candidate’s geographic work location, relevant qualifications, work experience, and skills. At MatrixCare it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range for this position is: $120,000- $135,000
