• Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school; active membership in at least one U.S. state bar in good standing

• Deep experience within the healthcare ecosystem, with direct exposure to clinical trials and/or contracting with pharma and biotech companies
• Exceptional financial literacy with the ability to connect financial data to legal risk and strategic decision-making
• Proven ability to execute and accelerate M&A processes
• A pragmatic approach to risk — bias toward action, sound judgment with incomplete information, and an understanding of the risk profile required to scale a high-growth company
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly and act as a collaborative partner to CTO, COO, HR, IT, and Sales rather than a roadblock
• A track record of hiring, developing, and retaining high-performing legal teams
• Emotional intelligence and executive presence to navigate high-stakes, ambiguous environments
