Associate General Counsel

Join a mission-driven healthcare organization working to make high-quality medical, behavioral, and social care more accessible to underserved communities.
As Associate General Counsel, you will work directly with the Head of Legal to help build and strengthen the legal function as the organization scales.
You will advise on a broad range of healthcare regulatory, commercial, corporate, product, employment, and privacy matters.
The role combines strategic legal guidance with hands-on contract development, negotiation, risk management, and compliance support.
You will partner closely with Product, Clinical, Operations, People, and Executive teams, translating complex legal requirements into practical business solutions.
This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership, establish scalable legal processes, and help shape the legal foundations of an evolving, technology-enabled healthcare model.
