[Hiring] Senior Product Counsel @Phreesia

Role Description

Phreesia is looking for a Senior Product Counsel - Healthcare to join our Legal team. In this role, you'll be the legal partner our product teams come to first, understanding how our products work and what's possible within the regulatory environment they operate in. Healthcare regulation and privacy are central to this work, and you'll own our approach to both. Our products increasingly touch payments, financial services, communications, and other regulated domains, so we need someone who can quickly get up to speed on unfamiliar areas of law, form a defensible view, and provide clear answers to product teams.

You’ll tackle complex healthcare regulatory and privacy issues, translate their meaning and implications for teams across the organization, and provide practical guidance that enables the business to execute effectively while navigating legal and regulatory requirements.

  • OIG Medicare and Medicaid regulations
  • PhRMA codes
  • TCPA
  • CAN-SPAM
  • Accessibility
  • Card processing and payments regulations
  • Other relevant areas of law
• Partner closely with Product.
• Develop a deep understanding of Phreesia’s business and how each product works, advising teams on what is feasible within the regulatory environment.
• Get smart fast on new regulated domains.
• Turn regulatory complexity into actionable guidance.
• Build processes that help teams move effectively.
• Protect patient data by partnering closely with our Chief Privacy Officer.
• Strengthen the Legal team and support your colleagues in doing their best work.

Qualifications

• Significant experience advising product and engineering teams on how to build and ship in a heavily regulated environment.
• Ability to learn new areas of law quickly and enjoy it.
• Creative problem-solver comfortable with ambiguity, complexity, and nuance.
• Excellent legal and business judgment, balancing legal risk with business and commercial considerations.
• Ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, understandable concepts for non-legal colleagues.
• Look for safe ways to say “yes” when navigating complex legal risk situations.

• Ability to work both fast and right, understanding when precision is essential.
• Thrive on being pushed and challenged, communicating effectively in writing and live.
• Operate like an owner and value personal responsibility in others.
• Focused on finding the right answer rather than always having the right answer.
• Take your work seriously, but not yourself.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in a remote environment.

Requirements
