We’re seeking a pragmatic, business-minded Staff Commercial Counsel to join our Legal team. Reporting to the Managing Lead Commercial Counsel, this role will support the company’s commercial contracting needs by drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a range of agreements, including routine and high-volume matters such as amendments, non-disclosure agreements, customer agreements, and vendor agreements.

You’ll partner with internal stakeholders across the company to help move commercial matters forward while managing risk in a practical, scalable way. The successful candidate will be agile, highly organized, and comfortable managing a high volume of work in a fast-paced, highly regulated healthcare environment. This is a full time, fully remote position on our team. Occasional travel may be required for company or team events/meetings.

• Build strong, collaborative working relationships with internal stakeholders and serve as a thoughtful problem‑solving partner.

• Consistently meet or exceed internal expectations for responsiveness to company priorities.

• Enable timely, informed business decisions during contract negotiations in support of the company’s growth.

• Proactively seek feedback and identify opportunities to become a stronger partner and advocate for the company.

• Demonstrate sound judgment, ownership, and reliability in managing assigned matters from intake through execution.

What you’ll bring:

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar.

• 4+ years of relevant legal experience, preferably advising fast‑paced healthcare, health‑tech, technology, or other regulated organizations, either in‑house or in private practice.

• Demonstrated experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts.

• Ability to identify and assess legal and business issues efficiently, evaluate risk, and provide practical recommendations grounded in sound business judgment.

• Strong business acumen and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a busy, evolving environment.

• Exceptional drafting, negotiation, communication, organizational, project‑management, and prioritization skills.

• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for assigned work.

• High integrity, professionalism, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to learn and grow.

• Ability to build effective working relationships with colleagues at all levels of the organization.

• Commitment to maintaining the confidentiality of proprietary, sensitive, and personnel information.

Nice to have:

• Experience negotiating SaaS, technology, healthcare, or other regulated commercial agreements.
