Role summary

A fast-growing AI healthcare company is seeking a Senior Counsel, Commercial to join their legal team in New York City. This role will report to the General Counsel and focus on drafting, negotiating, and managing a wide range of commercial agreements, including vendor, partner, technology, and data agreements. The attorney will also serve as a trusted advisor to business teams, build scalable contract templates and workflows, and support privacy, data, and healthcare regulatory matters. The ideal candidate will have approximately 5+ years of legal experience with substantial commercial contracting and business counseling experience, preferably in technology, SaaS, or a similar fast-paced environment. Healthcare or regulated industry experience is a plus.

Our client, one of the fastest-growing AI companies in healthcare, backed by Thrive Capital, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital Ventures, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to assist in its search for a Senior Counsel, Commercial. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, this attorney will be the company’s second lawyer and a key partner in building a legal function that keeps pace with extraordinary growth.

The company is building the AI-powered network that connects doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma so patients can get the medicines they need faster, more easily, and at lower cost. Already used by thousands of medical practices across all 50 states and partnering with many of the world’s leading biopharma companies, it is on a mission to make science, not paperwork, the only limit to medicine.

This is a rare opportunity for a practical, business-minded commercial attorney to take real ownership at a company with a meaningful mission. You’ll work closely with the General Counsel and teams across the business, handle a broad range of commercial matters, and help shape the agreements, playbooks, and processes the company will scale on. Healthcare experience is a plus, but strong commercial attorneys from other industries who are excited to learn the healthcare landscape are encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities

  • Draft, negotiate, and manage a broad range of commercial agreements, including vendor, partner, technology, data, and other strategic agreements.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to business teams, providing clear, practical guidance that helps deals move quickly.
  • Build scalable contract templates, playbooks, and workflows, including through the use of AI tools.
  • Own the company’s core platform terms, privacy notices, and other customer-facing agreements.
  • Support privacy, data, and healthcare regulatory matters in partnership with the General Counsel.
  • Flex into other priorities as the company grows, including product counseling, AI governance, and corporate matters.

    • Qualifications

  • Approximately 5+ years of legal experience, with substantial commercial contracting and business counseling experience; more senior candidates will also be considered.
  • Law firm and/or in-house experience at a technology, SaaS, or other fast-moving company.
  • Strong drafting and negotiation skills and the ability to independently handle complex commercial matters.
  • Healthcare, health tech, life sciences, or other regulated-industry experience is preferred but not required; experience with privacy, data, or HIPAA is a plus.
  • Sound business judgment and a low-ego, proactive style, with enthusiasm for a high-growth environment.
  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar.

    • Location & Compensation

    This is an in-office role based in the company’s SoHo office in New York City. The anticipated base salary range is $250,000 to $305,000, plus equity and benefits; actual compensation will depend on experience and qualifications.

    This is a chance to join a company at an inflection point, work alongside a highly engaged leadership team, and help bring new medicine to patients across the country.
