Legal Counsel

Job description

WHAT WE’RE ABOUT At Harrison.ai http://Harrison.ai, we’re redefining what’s possible in healthcare. Through our diagnostic AI solutions, we’re building tools that support clinicians to deliver earlier, more accurate diagnoses and raise the standard of care for millions of patients worldwide. Our mission is bold but simple: to scale global healthcare capacity and create a fairer, healthier world. By using AI as a co-pilot for clinicians, we’re tackling one of healthcare’s biggest challenges, the shortage of human expertise, and giving every patient the chance to access timely, high-quality care, no matter where they live. Because while we’re building cutting-edge AI, what we’re really building is hope—that everyone can access the healthcare they deserve. And we’re just getting started. ABOUT YOUR ROLE We’re looking for a commercially minded, US-qualified lawyer with a strong commercial and compliance orientation to join our growing global legal team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with solid in-house experience in the technology or SaaS sector—ideally in healthcare SaaS (SaMD) or teleradiology —who is energised by building and embedding practical commercial and compliance frameworks in a fast-paced, highly regulated, scale-up environment. A background with a top-tier US or international law firm is also valued. This role is remote but there will be heavy cross over with Australia (Sydney). In this role you’ll partner with our commercial, sales, regulatory, privacy and product teams to enable growth while keeping the company on the right side of the laws and standards that govern teleradiology services, medical-device software and healthcare data. You’ll help us identify, assess and mitigate legal and regulatory risk, strengthen governance, and translate complex obligations into clear, workable guidance for the business, as part of a collaborative, international team. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Commercial Contracting - Draft, review and negotiate a range of commercial agreements—including NDAs, MOUs, enterprise SaaS agreements, distribution and partnership agreements, EULAs, BAAs, customer and sales agreements, and government tender documentation. - Support both customer and vendor-side negotiations, ensuring contractual terms reflect regulatory requirements. - Provide practical, business-oriented legal and compliance advice to internal stakeholders, especially the commercial and sales teams. - Help develop, improve and scale contract management systems (Lawvu), processes and approval workflows and create and revise contract templates. Global Legal & Governance Support - Provide legal and compliance support across multiple jurisdictions, including the US & Canada. - Advise on corporate governance and compliance matters and support the General Counsel and Company Secretary on governance processes for USA entities. - Work flexibly across time zones to support a global, regulated organisation. Regulatory & Compliance - Serve as a day-to-day compliance partner to the business, identifying, assessing and mitigating legal and regulatory risk across the company’s products and operations. - Advise on US healthcare and medical-device regulatory frameworks relevant to healthcare SaaS / SaMD and teleradiology (e.g., HIPAA, FDA, FTC, Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, fraud-and-abuse rules, corporate practice of medicine), and monitor regulatory developments that affect the business. - Develop, implement and maintain compliance policies, procedures, controls and training, and embed compliance-by-design into product, commercial and operational workflows. - Support compliance monitoring, audits, due diligence and risk assessments, and help manage regulatory queries, investigations and remediation. Data Privacy & Security - Partner with privacy and security specialists on HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA and other region-specific requirements, and advise on the lawful handling of health and personal data. - ISO and SOC2 compliance experience would be advantageous. - Draft and negotiate BAAs, data processing agreements and related terms, and help maintain the company’s privacy compliance posture. WHAT YOU'LL BRING: - US-qualified lawyer with 3–6 years PQE. - Licensed in New York and/or California (preferred but not necessary). - In-house experience in technology, SaaS or healthcare (including health systems, hospitals or universities), with meaningful exposure to compliance and regulatory matters. - Working knowledge of HIPAA and US regulatory frameworks relevant to healthcare - SaaS (e.g., FDA, FTC), and an interest in deepening compliance expertise. - Solid commercial contracting experience across SaaS and technology transactions or teleradiology services. - Prior training at a top-tier or international law firm (highly regarded). Nice to have skills and characteristics: - Experience building or operating compliance programs, policies, controls or training in a regulated environment, including teleradiology MSO-PC structures (CPOM). - Familiarity with global privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) and experience negotiating BAAs and data processing agreements. - A relevant privacy or compliance certification (e.g., CIPP/US) is a plus. - Experience supporting sales organizations and comfortable working in fast-paced, high-pressure, deal-driven environments. - Exposure to government procurement and tender processes. - Hands-on experience with contract management and automation tools and creating, revising, and implementing contract templates. - Prior experience in healthcare SaaS, radiology, or teleradiology businesses.
