Passionate about making a difference and helping to make personalized medicine a reality through the use of data, Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and next generation genomic testing? Want to advise a cutting-edge business on novel legal issues at the intersection of healthcare and technology? Looking to transition to or expand in an in-house role at one of the most innovative companies in the world? Love counseling a business but want to know your work has meaning?
Genomic sequencing and other innovations in diagnostic testing permit us to decode and process our biological makeup. We now have more data than ever, but health care providers don't have the infrastructure or expertise to make sense of this data. We are on a mission to build and connect systems to redefine how healthcare data is used in clinical settings. We're looking to build a legal team that can support our ambitious business goals.
Location: Remote or Hybrid in Chicago
Key Responsibilities
Your primary focus will be assisting with transactional work across our various business lines. Drafting. Editing. Negotiating. Explaining. Advising. Collaborating. The Legal Team handles complex commercial agreements of all types, all in service of our broader mission to help people live longer, healthier lives.
The agreements you will work on will be interesting - you will quickly be drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements with both healthcare providers and life sciences companies. You will work on an array of different types of agreements, including clinical and research projects, data license and transfer agreements, strategic collaborations, laboratory services agreements, agreements with payers, pharmaceutical companies, government entities and anyone else involved in healthcare, biotech and life sciences. You will have to work through new legal issues involving artificial intelligence, large language models, intellectual property ownership, data privacy, and cutting edge healthcare technology. You will also work on common corporate contracts, such as vendor agreements.
In addition to this transactional focus, you will get a chance to grow and expand your skill set by assisting with other types of general legal work in a rapidly growing technology and health care company. Some areas you might focus on include intellectual property, employment and human resources, corporate governance, fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory, and international issues.
To do this job well, you will work with various internal business units, including our commercial organizations, data science, medical affairs, product & engineering, finance, communications, and our people teams. You will assist in evaluating legal risk and opportunities with the projects our businesses are engaged in, and help facilitate our business goals. We move fast, and we take pride that the Legal Department sets the pace.
