About The Position

MASA is looking for a hands-on contracts attorney to manage day-to-day contracting for the company and support the General Counsel as MASA builds out its Legal Department. If you enjoy owning a high volume of agreements independently and want to make an immediate, tangible impact, this role puts you at the center of how MASA gets deals done. MASA has been a leader in emergency medical transportation insurance since 1974. We're not just a company – we're a close-knit team dedicated to "Protecting families with compassion when others don't." Our professional yet friendly company culture fosters collaboration, innovation, and a clear mission that resonates through every role as we support our expanding base of 2+ million members across the United States and the Caribbean.

Requirements

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active, good-standing bar membership (Florida Bar or eligibility for admission preferred).
• At least 3-5 years of progressively responsible legal experience, with substantial in-house responsibility for commercial contracts.
• Demonstrated healthcare and/or insurance experience, including negotiating Business Associate Agreements and advising on HIPAA, privacy, and security requirements.
• A strong track record of independently drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements and explaining risk to senior stakeholders.
• Experience improving a contract-review or lifecycle process through AI, templates, playbooks, or workflow technology, plus hands-on use of AI-enabled legal tools with disciplined validation.
• Ability to work independently in a lean legal department supporting multiple business units.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with CLM systems, DocuSign workflows, IP portfolio work, or marketing/insurance review is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own the full agreement lifecycle: drafting, negotiating, and managing vendor, technology/SaaS, data-processing, licensing, provider/network, consulting, and marketing agreements from intake through signature, repository, and renewal.
• Bring deep healthcare and insurance expertise: advising on HIPAA, Business Associate Agreements, protected health information, privacy, and data security across the contract portfolio.
• Manage risk escalation and support executive decisions, translating contract terms into business exposure, preparing risk analyses and Executive Summaries, and routing matters to the right reviewers and signers.
• Build and continuously improve the contracting function: administering intake, triage, templates, playbooks, dashboards, and self-service tools that make compliant contracting easy across MASA.
• Train stakeholders and report on performance: leading training on the Contract Review Management SOP and delivering monthly KPI reporting to the General Counsel on contract, IP, and marketing review activity.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Finance, Procurement, Information Security, Privacy, Compliance, and HR; support IP and marketing review; and manage outside counsel when needed.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary, bonuses, and comprehensive employee benefits programs, including medical, dental, and vision insurance with highly rated carriers; a 401(k) program with a company match; paid time off; company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and basic life insurance; and a free MASA membership.
