The Commercial & Healthcare Regulatory Counsel is a hands-on attorney focused on commercial and vendor contracting with regulatory issue‑spotting. The role supports Privacy, Compliance, Pharmacy Benefits Team and Operations to enable fast, compliant deals as the company scales integrated pharmacy and healthcare services under the Fuze Health (and FuzeRx) brands.

This is a hands-on role suited for a versatile attorney who enjoys building repeatable processes and enabling speed-to-contract without owning enterprise legal strategy or department leadership. Complex or novel matters will be escalated to the Senior Counsel and/or specialized outside counsel.

Key Responsibilities:

Commercial Contracting

  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements (e.g., MSAs, SOWs, BAAs/DPAs, SaaS and technology, services, licensing, data sharing) using playbooks and clause libraries.

  • Manage redlines, issues lists, internal alignment, and approval workflows through execution; memorialize deviations and approvals.

  • Maintain and improve templates, clause libraries, and playbooks to reduce cycle time and drive consistency.

Healthcare Regulatory Support

  • Issue-spot and provide practical guidance on applicable laws and regulations, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), Stark Law, False Claims Act, FDA/DEA requirements relevant to pharmacy and telehealth operations, state pharmacy/professional licensing, PBM contracting/network participation, and HIPAA/HITECH.

  • Conduct targeted research, prepare summaries, and assist with regulatory analyses and alerts; coordinate with Compliance to ensure ownership and accountability across healthcare and pharmacy regulatory domains.

  • Partner with outside counsel on complex or novel regulatory questions; help implement recommendations.

Privacy & Data Protection Support

  • Support the Privacy team on HIPAA and data protection matters, including incident response, breach investigations, and privacy compliance activities.

  • Assist with drafting and negotiating privacy and security provisions in client and vendor agreements, including BAAs, DPAs, and security addenda.

  • Partner with internal stakeholders to identify and remediate data handling risks; encourage privacy-by-design practices.

Vendor & Procurement Contracting

  • Draft, review, and negotiate vendor, procurement, and operations agreements (IT/SaaS, professional services, logistics/delivery, marketing vendors, clinical vendors), including MSAs, SOWs, order forms, renewals, and amendments.

  • Partner with Procurement, Finance, Security/IT, Privacy, and Compliance on intake, diligence, and approvals (e.g., security questionnaires, BAAs/DPAs, SOC 2/ISO docs, COIs).

  • Negotiate and document SLAs, support/uptime, data handling/retention, audit rights, business continuity/DR, termination/transition assistance, and fee/charge guardrails.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Legal Ops

  • Provide timely, business-oriented legal advice to Commercial, Partnerships, and Operations teams.

  • Contribute to process improvements (e.g., workflow design, CLM hygiene, playbook refinements, dashboards) that scale the legal function.

  • Support communications and marketing review for external messaging, disclosures, and public statements.

Compliance & Risk Support

  • Collaborate with Compliance on training materials, audits, and corrective actions.

  • Assist with risk assessments, internal inquiries, and remediation planning as needed.

Required Experience & Qualifications:

Qualifications

  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

  • 8–10 years of legal experience (law firm and/or in-house) in healthcare, digital health, or pharmacy; strong candidates with 4+ years will be considered.

  • Demonstrated experience drafting and negotiating commercial and technology agreements.

  • Experience with vendor/procurement contracting and third‑party risk management (e.g., SaaS/IT, SOWs, SLAs, security addenda, BAAs/DPAs).

  • Working knowledge of healthcare regulatory frameworks (e.g., AKS, HIPAA, FDA, DEA, PBM) with a willingness to deepen expertise and collaborate with specialists.

  • Excellent communication, judgment, and organizational skills with a practical, business-minded approach.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving organization and manage multiple priorities effectively.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in pharmacy or PBM-related commercial/regulatory work.

  • Exposure to data privacy, cybersecurity, and breach response.

  • Familiarity with regulatory frameworks applicable to telehealth, diagnostics, and clinical operations.

  • Experience with contract lifecycle management (CLM) and legal operations tooling.

  • Familiarity with SOC 2/ISO 27001 and vendor security due diligence processes.
