- We’re looking for a collaborative, adaptable attorney eager to learn and thrive in a fast-paced environment
- Lead a strategic, company-wide privacy program—developing policies, processes, and training that protect PHI and ensure compliance with HIPAA and other privacy, cybersecurity, interoperability, and information-blocking laws
- Manage breach assessment and notification processes, and serve as a key legal resource for privacy and data security matters across all departments and new ventures
- Partner with Human Resources on employment law issues, including employee relations, policy development, workplace investigations, and compliance

- Serves as a trusted, responsive legal partner to HR, Compliance, and business leaders, delivering timely, practical guidance that effectively mitigates legal and regulatory risk while enabling strategic objectives
- Proactively monitors and engages in legislative and regulatory developments, influencing outcomes or preparing the organization for changes in laws and regulations that affect operations and strategy
- Manages breach responses, investigations, and other high-risk matters efficiently, resolving issues with minimal business disruption and measurable reduction in legal exposure over time
Our take
Clover Health is a medical insurance company operating as a Preferred Provider Orgaization for Medicare Advantage, the Medicare plan for elderly American citizens. It aims to reduce the doctor-insurer friction to increase visibility into the health of patients.
Through its approach, Clover's physicians are able to focus on people, rather than paperwork. It has a patient-centered analytics and dedicated care management team, and thus is able to rapidly identify potential healthcare risks to provide preventative care. This helps to provide a more sophisticated level of care than existing providers, even if its market share is relatively slim compared to competitors like UnitedHealthcare and Humana.
Over the years it has performed well in a rapidly growing market, but in 2021 ran into issues with profitability in the market due to inefficient costings, an issue it is steadily nipping in the bud in 2023. However, the number of elderly Americans has doubled over the past 25 years, and the market is expected to do the same between now and 2025. This upward trend brings hope of revitalising the growth and strong financial performance Clover has seen in recent years, especially as it focuses more on profitability through 2023.
