About Hello Heart:
Hello Heart is on a mission to make heart attacks a thing of the past.

We’re defining how the #1 cause of death—heart disease—is managed in the AI era. Join us.
About the Role
As Senior Counsel, you'll report to the General Counsel and serve as a key legal partner across Hello Heart's product and commercial teams. You'll split your time between advising on product development, AI/ML features, and related legal considerations and risk within defined regulatory parameters on one hand, and negotiating commercial agreements with health plans, employers, partners, and vendors on the other. We're looking for a versatile, collaborative attorney who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is energized by the challenge of wearing multiple hats at a growing digital health company.

- Draft and advise on product-facing legal materials, including terms of service, user agreements, disclaimers, and in-product disclosures, to support product development and mitigate legal risk.
- Review, negotiate, and manage vendor and supplier agreements, including SaaS subscriptions, professional services agreements, and technology procurement contracts, and support development of vendor onboarding and risk assessment processes

- Provide day-to-day legal counseling to commercial and product teams, including advising on product-facing legal materials, identifying and mitigating legal risks while advancing business objectives within defined regulatory parameters.
- Support the Compliance function with monitoring developments in digital health law and regulation, including laws related to the use of AI in healthcare, telehealth, Medicare, and Medicaid, as relevant to product and commercial legal support.
- Support special projects, investigations, and new business initiatives as they arise
- Assist with the management of outside counsel on discrete matters
Qualifications
- 5+ years of legal experience, with a mix of transactional, product counseling, including advising on regulatory risk. Law firm experience required; in-house experience in healthcare, digital health, or medical devices preferred.

- Track record of drafting and negotiating commercial agreements of varying complexity
- Experience negotiating SaaS, technology, and vendor procurement agreements
- Familiarity with key regulatory frameworks in digital health, including HIPAA, FDA, FTC, and CMS sufficient to identify issues requiring Compliance involvement
- Strong judgment in identifying risks and developing practical, business-oriented solutions
- Highly organized, with the ability to handle and prioritize multiple matters simultaneously in a dynamic environment
- Team player who is willing to pitch in across a wide variety of legal and business needs, where no job is too big or too small
- Growth-minded, with a demonstrated ability to rapidly absorb new information and receive feedback
- Excellent written and oral communication skills, effective in a distributed environment
- JD from an accredited U.S. law school; licensed and in good standing with a state bar
