What You'll Do
We are looking for a contracts attorney to handle matters end to end and serve as a backstop to our compliance program, including GxP and privacy. This is not a role for someone who works through a to-do list. We need someone who makes the call, brings a recommendation, and escalates only what is genuinely novel or high-stakes. The role comes with significant autonomy and real visibility into the business.
Key Responsibilities
• Draft, review, and negotiate a high volume of commercial agreements, including MSAs, SaaS/licensing agreements, BAAs, DPAs, NDAs, and vendor contracts
• Own and optimize the contracting workflow within the company's CLM system, driving efficiency and consistency across the deal cycle
• Partner directly with sales, revenue operations, and cross-functional leaders to advise on contract terms, risk allocation, and deal structure
• Identify legal risks in commercial transactions and escalate appropriately, exercising sound judgment on when to push back and when to move forward
• Develop and maintain contract templates, playbooks, and internal guidance documents to support scalable contracting processes
• Over time, expand your portfolio into adjacent areas such as employment law, data privacy, and intellectual property as the legal function grows
Required Qualifications
• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• 5-7 years of experience in commercial contracting, with a strong foundation in technology transactions (SaaS, software licensing, cloud services, or similar)
• Demonstrated ability to independently draft and negotiate complex commercial agreements
• Experience working with or managing a CLM platform
• Strong business judgment with the ability to balance thorough legal review against the pace and priorities of a growing company
• Comfortable operating in a lean legal team where you handle both strategy and execution
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate legal concepts for non-legal stakeholders
• Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to pitch in across the business wherever needed
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience supporting a SaaS or technology company
• Familiarity with HIPAA, GDPR, and data privacy frameworks applicable to healthcare data
• Exposure to emerging AI regulations and data governance considerations
• Prior experience at a startup or high-growth company
• Background that includes both law firm and in-house experience
What We Offer
• The chance to build and shape the legal function at a mission-driven healthcare AI company
• Direct partnership with business leaders and visibility into company strategy
• A collaborative, human-centered culture that values caring and intentional work
• Room to grow your role and expand into new legal areas as Authenticx scales
• Competitive compensation and benefits, and the energy of a startup making a real difference in healthcare
