What will you do everyday

As Suki’s Corporate Counsel you’ll be the "engine room" for Suki’s operations. Reporting directly to the GC, you will sit at the intersection of Legal, HR, Finance, & Commercial. This isn’t a role where you just redline documents and pass them off; you will be deeply embedded in our commercial growth. Your job is to make sure our legal and operational infrastructure can keep up with our sales team.

• You’ll be the point person for commercial deals. You will draft, review, and negotiate AI/ML licenses and ambient-listening agreements, ensuring we’re protected while getting deals across the finish line quickly.

• You’ll look for bottlenecks in how we handle HR, Finance, and Legal tasks and fix them. You are here to streamline workflows so the company can scale without breaking.

• You won’t just look at legal costs; you’ll partner with Finance on FP&A tasks, helping track spend and ensuring our legal strategy aligns with our budget and burn targets.

• You’ll stay in the weeds on HIPAA, data privacy, and the shifting landscape of AI regulation. You’ll make sure our product and our partnerships stay ahead of the compliance curve.

• Whether it’s a tricky vendor dispute or a question on employment law, you’ll be the go-to person for fast, practical answers that allow the business to keep moving.

• From offer letters to compliance and policy updates, you’ll oversee the HR function to ensure our people operations are as innovative as our tech.

Ok, you're sold, but what are we looking for in the “perfect” candidate

• You aren't just a lawyer; you are a business operator. You are as comfortable discussing GAAP and FP&A models as you are drafting a Master Service Agreement.

• You understand that in a high-growth startup, "perfect" is the enemy of "done." You provide legal guidance that enables the sales team to move fast without taking unnecessary risks.

• You have a deep understanding of the nuances of healthcare technology, specifically how data moves between clinicians, patients, and AI platforms.

• You don't wait for instructions. You see a gap in our HR policy or a friction point in our procurement process and you fix it.

• As a leader of culture, you lead with empathy and clarity, helping to resolve conflicts and keep the team aligned with Suki’s mission.

Qualifications

• JD from an accredited law school and active membership in at least one State Bar (California preferred).

• Approximately 5–7 years of post-bar legal experience, with a significant portion spent in-house at a high-growth SaaS or HealthTech startup.

• Proven track record of negotiating complex enterprise sales agreements, partnership deals, and vendor contracts.

• Direct experience or a strong aptitude for managing HR functions and partnering with Finance teams on FP&A and budgeting.

• Strong working knowledge of HIPAA, GDPR, and emerging regulations surrounding Generative AI and data security.

• Exceptional writing and negotiation skills, with the ability to translate complex legal concepts into actionable business advice.
