• Manage the existing contract portfolio, including amendments, renewals, and partner/vendor inquiries; build an obligation-tracking process to keep commitments visible and met.
• Advise senior business leaders on healthcare regulatory risk in deal structures, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, Civil Monetary Penalties, and state licensure requirements; recommend deal structuring as service lines and Medicare reimbursement frameworks change.
• Mentor sales, partnerships, and procurement teams on contract risk and playbook usage; set escalation paths to determine when deals require legal review.

Requirements

• HIPAA and privacy law experience is a plus.
• Experience contracting with payers is a plus.
• Experience building or improving contracting processes, including playbooks, clause libraries, or template suites that support a scaling organization.
• JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
