Head of Legal

Superpower•San Francisco, CA

18d

About The Position

In this role, you own Superpower's legal function as an integrated operating system, not a back-office compliance check. Healthcare regulatory, corporate, commercial, and data privacy work are treated as one connected surface. Every contract, policy, and filing is built to move the business forward while managing risk with precision. You don't slow things down - you make it possible to move faster by clearing the path. You work hands-on. You draft, negotiate, and close real agreements. You operate directly alongside Operations, Product, Growth, and Clinical teams - embedded in the work, not reviewing it after the fact. This is not a review-and-approve role and not a hand-off-to-outside-counsel role.

Requirements

Health obsessed — strong personal interest in longevity and preventive healthcare
High-velocity operator — you work with urgency and iterate rapidly. This is not a slow-moving legal department
Ownership mindset — you see work through from ambiguous regulatory question to production-ready framework
5+ years of legal experience in a highly regulated industry, with strong regulatory and commercial contract skills. Healthcare experience is valued but not required
Sharp communicator who translates complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers
Comfortable with ambiguity, cross-functional collaboration, and building 0-to-1 legal infrastructure
JD; active bar membership in at least one US state
