Role
Who you are
- Our ideal candidate also has data privacy expertise. Experience with healthcare, health plans, or other employee benefits is another major plus, but is not required

- A J.D. from a U.S. law school and admitted to a state bar
- No fear of technical, financial, or data science concepts
- A willingness to “roll up your sleeves” and do whatever is necessary to ensure company success
- Experience working in a rapidly-evolving startup environment
- Experience reviewing, drafting, and negotiating commercial agreements is required
- Data privacy experience is strongly preferred. Experience dealing with healthcare, health plans, or other employee benefits and related regulatory regimes is an added bonus
- A desire to support our mission to improve the U.S. healthcare system
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Counsel to provide broad support for Garner's Legal team. First and foremost, Garner’s next Legal hire will be a smart, detail-oriented generalist, but some experience with commercial contracting is required
- This role reports to Garner’s Head of Legal
- Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of agreements, including MSAs, business associate agreements, vendor agreements, data use agreements, partnership agreements, NDAs, and employment-related agreements
- Working closely and collaboratively with other business functions and providing guidance and practical advice related to product development and features, internal operations and policies, and day-to-day issues and challenges impacting the company and our clients
- Supporting compliance with data and privacy-related laws and other relevant regulations by developing an understanding of applicable requirements and communicating those requirements and the related risks to business stakeholders in a practical, digestible way
- Liaising with external counsel, auditors, and other service providers
- Managing existing legal processes and operations and helping to develop new processes as the company continues to scale
- Assisting with corporate maintenance, including board matters and financings
Our take
An overworked US healthcare system has resulted in long waits and expensive prices. Due to rising costs, the health insurance industry often leads to patients not accessing the care that they need. Garner Health creates digital services that allow patients to find a medical expert that fits their specific needs, whatever their insurance circumstances are.
The startup provides an app that analyses local health-insurance claims history through AI. This data is used to recommend local medical professionals that will work with a patient's circumstances whilst providing direct communication channels for liaising. This helps patients to identify the highest-quality doctors and helps doctors improve how they practice medicine.
Despite other companies providing similar bespoke healthcare services, Garner Health shows a cutting edge by partnering with patient employers. This provides the financial incentive that employers must cover all or a portion of medical expenses, making healthcare financially accessible for all involved. The company has good funding at its back, and in 2022 partnered with Marathon Health towards reducing the inefficiencies of specialty referrals.
