Associate General Counsel
Pair Team is a public benefit company reimagining care for the safety net. As an AI-enabled medical group for Medicaid and Medicare, we deliver medical, behavioral, and social care by integrating shelters, pantries, and other community-based organizations into our whole-person model. As California’s largest complex care provider, we’ve proven our impact to reduce avoidable emergency care, including a 52% and 26% reduction in ER visits and hospitalizations respectively. Once scaled nationally, our approach would save taxpayers $150B per year.
We are seeking an Associate General Counsel to join our growing legal team. In this role, you will work directly with our Head of Legal to build the legal function at a healthcare company that serves some of the most complex, highest-need patients. You will be a trusted partner to Product, Operations, Clinical, and the Executive team, helping them move quickly and with confidence. You will take on a wide range of matters, from regulatory strategy to complex payer agreements, and have real ownership in shaping the department as we grow.
Key responsibilities include providing legal and regulatory guidance on corporate, healthcare regulatory, litigation, commercial, product, employment, and privacy matters. You will monitor regulatory developments and translate their impact into clear, actionable guidance for product, clinical, and operations teams. Collaborating with operational, clinical, and marketing leaders, you will ensure adherence to applicable laws and regulations, such as HIPAA, Anti-Kickback, and Corporate Practice of Medicine. You will also work on contract development and negotiation, drafting templates and playbooks for contracting with partners, including service agreements, BAAs, NDAs, and other agreements. Additionally, you will act as a trusted advisor to business, product, and clinical teams, flagging legal risks early and helping design compliant solutions. You will help develop legal processes and policies that support risk mitigation, compliance, and business enablement. Cross-functional collaboration is essential, as you will partner with clinical operations on care delivery compliance, collaborate with the People team on compliance training and policy development, and support company litigation needs.
The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of healthcare legal experience and familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as CMS, OIG, HIPAA, and FWA. A minimum of 3 years of legal experience at a digital health company, health plan, provider, or payor is preferred. Experience in telehealth regulation, Medicaid and Medicare program requirements, privacy and data use, payer and provider contracting, and state-by-state licensure and operating rules is highly desirable. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams are essential.
At Pair Team, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance and other perks. As a rapidly growing company, we provide opportunities for professional development and career advancement. Joining Pair Team means being part of a mission-driven organization dedicated to transforming healthcare for underserved communities.
Our company culture is collaborative, innovative, and committed to making a positive impact. We value diversity and inclusion and strive to create an environment where all employees can thrive. If you are passionate about healthcare and want to be part of a team that is making a difference, we encourage you to apply.
