[Hiring] Senior Legal Counsel @Stedi

Role Description

Stedi is hiring a Senior Legal Counsel to sit at the center of how we grow. Every new customer, payer connection, and partnership runs through a contract, and you’ll own the bulk of that deal flow. Your counterparties will range from fast-moving healthtech startups to established industry players and national payers. Healthtech experience is a plus, but not required – we value strong legal judgment, curiosity, and the ability to learn a new industry quickly.

We ship new products constantly, and the deals that follow bring new structures, new pricing models, and meaningful HIPAA and data-use considerations. You’ll be close to all of it. As the business continues to grow, so will the role, and we expect you to take on new areas as needs arise and as your interests take you.

You’ll join a small, effective Legal team with a broad mandate. We keep up with a fast-growing, highly regulated business by investing in good systems and tools (AI among them), so our time goes to the work that takes a lawyer’s judgment. That means every person on the team has outsized ownership and impact, and you’ll help improve the tools as well as use them. If you have the talent and drive to help build a world-class legal function alongside experienced mentors at a rapidly scaling tech company, we want to talk.

Qualifications

• Bar-admitted with several years of commercial contracting, transactional, or regulatory counseling experience.
• Experience handling complex legal matters end to end, whether in BigLaw, at a high-growth company, or both.
• Familiarity with AI tools, CLM platforms, or other technology to improve legal work.
• Ability to explain complex issues in plain language and communicate confidently with various stakeholders.
• Comfortable with high-volume work, ambiguity, and shifting priorities while maintaining quality.
• Business acumen to blend legal rigor with strategic persuasion.
• Generalist mindset, willing to tackle unfamiliar issues.
• Fast-paced, precise, and accountable work ethic.

Requirements

• Own customer contracting across the full lifecycle, from first redline through signature, amendments, assignments, and renewals.
• Negotiate complex commercial terms and structures in a fast-growing, highly regulated business.
• Drive payer trading partner agreements and key vendor agreements to close quickly while maintaining compliance standards.
• Utilize AI and technology to build and maintain the contracting engine, automating repeatable parts of contracting.
• Track negotiation patterns to improve standard positions, templates, and reduce escalations.
• Serve as the go-to resource for Sales and Account Management, addressing day-to-day questions and coaching the team.
• Take on new areas based on interest and business need as Stedi and the Legal team grow.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work in a fast-growing, innovative environment.
• Ownership and impact within a small, effective Legal team.
• Access to modern tools and systems, including AI.
• Mentorship from experienced professionals in a rapidly scaling tech company.
