Ability to multitask, prioritize, and manage projects and tasks.
Experience supporting building processes, procedures, and workflows that enable sustainable business scaling.
Strong collaboration skills with thought partners from clinical, operations, finance, and leadership

Direct experience in pre-litigation and litigation matters and managing outside counsel.

Provide legal and regulatory guidance related to Medicaid, Medicare, value-based care, and product development to support commercial strategy.
