As an AI-native company, we believe technology should expand the reach, quality, and humanity of care. Every Spring Health team member is expected to use AI tools thoughtfully, apply human judgment to AI outputs, and keep building AI fluency in ways that support their role and our mission.

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.

What you’ll do:

• Draft, review, negotiate, and execute a broad range of commercial agreements in support of the company’s operations and services, including customer agreements, vendor agreements, non-disclosure agreements, amendments, and related transactional documents.
• Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and other internal teams on transactions and contracting matters that support company growth.
• Provide practical, business-oriented legal guidance on commercial and contractual matters, including contract interpretation and risk allocation.
• Support Customer Success with client contract-administration processes, including responding to requests, facilitating notices, tracking renewals, and helping ensure appropriate execution of legal documents.
• Support procurement and vendor-management activities, including review of third-party terms and negotiation of vendor agreements.
• Partner with internal subject-matter experts—including Privacy, Compliance, Regulatory, Security, and Operations—throughout the contract process, from request to execution.
• Help ensure adherence to contract-related policies and procedures; troubleshoot and help resolve contract issues and challenges as they arise.
• Support continuous improvement of forms, policies, playbooks, and processes to streamline, simplify, and automate contracting.
• Support legal due diligence, strategic initiatives, and other corporate projects as needed.

What success looks like in this role:

• 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.
