What You'll Do- Serve as lead counsel on Abridge's most complex product initiatives, from early design through launch and post-launch review, including areas where the law is still developing.
- Shape the legal strategy for the products and features you support, giving teams practical paths forward that account for regulatory, commercial, and operational realities.
- Advise on product launches, feature changes, user-facing disclosures, and marketing claims.
- Partner with product, engineering, policy, partner experience, marketing, IT, finance, corporate development, and commercial teams, including senior leadership, to align on risk and move initiatives forward.
