The Job at a Glance

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating various documents, including MSAs, SOWs, business associate agreements (BAAs), vendor agreements, partnership agreements, NDAs, and employment-related agreements.
• Providing product counseling and risk assessments developing new product/feature offerings, as well as consumer engagement initiatives.

• Working closely and collaboratively with other business functions, providing guidance and practical advice related on internal operations and policies, day-to-day issues, and challenges impacting the company.
• Coordinating with external counsel, auditors, and service providers
• Monitoring state laws and regulatory trends impacting our industry to strategically manage risk.
• Supporting existing legal/compliance processes and operations, including contract management, and helping to develop new processes as the company continues to scale.

• Agility and flexibility to take on new tasks and responsibilities when necessary to support the business and legal team's needs in a fast-moving, rapidly- scaling, and dynamic tech company
