Job Description

Join Headway, a mission-driven healthcare technology company, as a Senior Counsel (Corporate & Risk). In this pivotal role, you will be a key strategic partner to various teams, gaining broad in-house exposure across third-party contracting, disputes, corporate insurance, and other corporate and risk matters. You will have the opportunity to work alongside world-class colleagues and contribute to the company's growth.

  • Assumer la responsabilité de la révision des contrats et de la gestion des escalades liées aux contrats avec les tiers et les fournisseurs.
  • Collaborer étroitement avec les équipes de l'expérience client et des communications pour résoudre efficacement les litiges et les demandes escaladées.
  • Gérer le cycle annuel d'assurance de l'entreprise et l'administration continue de l'assurance.
  • 5+ years of legal experience, including at least 2 years in-house
  • Strong emotional intelligence — you will be the face of Legal to cross-functional partners on matters that may be escalated, time-sensitive, or both. You are able to build relationships and consensus with colleagues amid competing views and priorities
  • Hands-on ownership of complex processes like commercial contracting at scale, and the judgment to balance risk and trade-offs with the right mix of fidelity and velocity
  • Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth start-up environment (healthcare preferred)
  • Genuine interest in working with AI tooling, and in improving or reinventing the systems you work in (versus simply operating within them)
  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing (ability to register as NY in-house counsel required)
  • Ability to translate complex topics into clear and actionable advice for non-legal stakeholders
