Role
Who you are
- Passion for Abridge’s mission and the energy and drive to support a fast-moving commercial team
- A customer-service mindset; we approach our deals as collaborative projects and treat negotiations as a tool to establish strong partnerships with our customers
- 8+ years experience negotiating commercial contracts, ideally with large healthcare systems as counterparties (although experience negotiating with government, universities, and large corporations also qualify)
- Ability to communicate effectively, making complex or legal concepts accessible to non-legal counterparts and colleagues
- Comfort and confidence with juggling a high volume of contracts, tight timelines, and competing priorities
- Demonstrated ability to work independently and exercise business judgement; interest in joining a small team that prioritizes autonomy and trust
- Proven ability to work cross-functionally, particularly with technical teams, designers, and sales teams, building relationships and earning their confidence
What the job involves
- Abridge is in the process of rolling out its AI-driven solutions to healthcare systems throughout the country
- As Senior Corporate Counsel, you will be at the front lines of making Abridge a success, working alongside our Sales and Partner Success teams to negotiate and close deals with customers big and small
- Be a lead negotiator representing Abridge in transactions with a wide range of customers, partners, and vendors
- Coordinate and manage external counsel to resolve specialist issues and ensure expedient and accurate review and delivery of contracts
- Work with our commercial legal team and sales team in iterating on and improving our core commercial documents and terms, and developing playbooks and processes for improving accuracy and efficiency
Our take
Summarizing key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in, it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarizes, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience.
