[Hiring] Director, Legal At Home Solutions @Cardinal Health

Role Description

Cardinal Health is seeking a practical, business-oriented healthcare attorney to serve as Director, Assistant General Counsel, At-Home Solutions. This role will support a large, growing healthcare business at an exciting point of acquisition, integration, transformation, and operational momentum across At-Home Solutions, including:

• Cardinal Health’s DMEPOS businesses (durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies), which provide medical supplies to patients managing chronic and serious health conditions
• Cardinal Health at-Home, a direct-to-home distributor of medical products and supplies
• VeloCare, Cardinal Health’s hospital-at-home supply chain and logistics solution

This is an opportunity to help shape legal support for businesses that are expanding, integrating recent acquisitions, and building more consistent ways of working across the At-Home Solutions portfolio. The Director will work closely with business leaders, Compliance, Privacy, Marketing, Operations, and other cross-functional partners to bring practical legal judgment, structure, and momentum to important business priorities.

The successful candidate will combine strong legal fundamentals with business practicality, adaptability, and the ability to provide clear options and recommendations that help the business move forward responsibly with speed.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school required.
• Active license to practice law and good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction required.
• 10+ years of relevant healthcare legal experience preferred, ideally with exposure to DMEPOS businesses; can also include healthcare distribution, pharmacy, home healthcare, medical products, technology, logistics, or another highly regulated business.
• Strong commercial contracting experience, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex customer, supplier, services, technology, distribution, or strategic partnership agreements.
• Ability to quickly understand new business models, operational workflows, integration activity, and evolving business priorities.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, making sound judgment calls with imperfect information, and helping work move forward without requiring step-by-step direction.
• Practical, solution-oriented legal judgment, with the ability to distinguish material risks from theoretical issues, understand operational, financial, customer, and reputational considerations, and provide clear recommendations.
• Ability to balance competing priorities, exercise sound judgment about relative importance, and adapt legal support to businesses in different stages of growth, integration, and operational maturity.
• Ability to operate effectively in a highly matrixed environment, build trusted relationships across functions, and engage proactively with business and functional partners rather than providing legal support in isolation.
• Excellent analytical, drafting, negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills.

Requirements

• Provides leadership on complex legal and business matters that affect multiple areas of the business.
• Translates business priorities into practical legal workplans and helps drive matters toward resolution.
• Exercises independent judgment, appropriately escalates significant issues, and avoids over-escalating routine matters.
• Influences internal and external stakeholders, including senior leaders, in complex or sensitive situations.
• Anticipates legal, operational, and business risks and develops practical strategies to address them.
• Adapts effectively as facts, priorities, timelines, and business needs change.
• Builds scalable ways of working that make legal support more efficient, consistent, and business-focused.
• Models sound judgment, accountability, collaboration, and a bias toward practical problem-solving.
