About the role

  • Be the legal engine of our growth: advise the executive team and department heads on commercial, corporate, data, and employment law across the U.S. and Europe.
  • Structure and negotiate enterprise SaaS agreements with the largest health systems in the U.S., balancing customer expectations, regulatory requirements, and Kontakt.io’s business goals.
  • Manage outside counsel relationships (corporate, employment, IP, regulatory) and define when to bring work in-house.
  • Own corporate governance: maintain clean cap tables, board consents, and subsidiary structure in alignment with CFO, CRO, and CEO.
  • Ensure compliance with HIPAA, data privacy, and healthcare regulatory frameworks in partnership with our Security & Compliance team.
  • Shape the next stage: help evolve policies, templates, and playbooks as we scale toward $100M+ ARR, multiple geographies, and enterprise-level contracts.
  • Be a cultural leader — practical, fast, and business-minded; a “yes, if” partner, not a “no” gatekeeper.

Requirements

  • Have **10+ years** of legal experience, with a mix of law firm and in-house roles (preferably in healthcare, SaaS, or regulated tech).
  • Have a **JD and active bar membership** (New York preferred).
  • Have deep experience **negotiating enterprise SaaS / BAA contracts** and managing data protection and compliance.
  • Are **business-first:** you translate legal risk into operational decisions, not paralysis.
  • Have built or scaled a **legal function from scratch** in a growth-stage or Series B–D environment.
  • Thrive in **fast, dynamic, cross-functional** settings — working side-by-side with Sales, Product, and Finance.
  • Are pragmatic, direct, and grounded — focused on outcomes, not memos.

Benefits

  • Equity in a high-growth company on a clear trajectory toward $400M+ ARR
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off plus 10 paid holidays
  • Hybrid work setup (3-days in office)
  • The tech, tools, and autonomy you need to do your best work
