About The Position

Stedi is hiring a Senior Legal Counsel to support the growth of its healthcare clearinghouse and revenue cycle management business. The role sits at the center of the company’s commercial activity and owns most customer contracting, working with counterparties ranging from healthtech startups to established industry players and national payers. Healthtech experience is helpful but not required; strong legal judgment, curiosity, and the ability to learn a new industry quickly are valued.

The Senior Legal Counsel will work on contracts and deal structures arising from frequently launched products, including new pricing models and matters involving HIPAA and data use. This position is part of a small Legal team with a broad mandate and high individual ownership. The team uses systems and tools, including AI, to support a fast-growing, highly regulated business and improve the efficiency of legal work. The role is expected to expand as Stedi and the Legal team grow, based on business needs and the person's interests.

• Experience handling complex legal matters end to end, in BigLaw, at a high-growth company, or both.
• Experience using AI tools, contract lifecycle management (CLM) platforms, or other technology to improve legal work.
• Ability to explain complex issues in plain language, write clearly, and communicate confidently with executives, lawyers, regulators, procurement staff, engineers, and others.
• Comfort with high-volume work, ambiguity, and shifting priorities, while maintaining quality through effective systems and habits.
• Business acumen to balance legal rigor with strategic persuasion and know when to apply pressure or collaborate.
• A generalist mindset and willingness to work through unfamiliar matters.
• Ability to move quickly, operate precisely, and follow through.

Responsibilities

• Negotiate complex commercial terms and structures for a fast-growing, highly regulated business.
• Drive payer trading partner agreements and key vendor agreements to close quickly, within the company’s risk profile, and in compliance with its standards.
• Use AI and other technology to build and maintain the contracting engine, automate repeatable rules-based contracting work, and reserve lawyer time for judgment-based work.
• Track negotiation patterns and use them to improve standard positions and templates and reduce escalations.
• Serve as a go-to resource for Sales and Account Management by answering day-to-day questions, coaching the team on legal positions, and identifying deals that need more than a playbook.
• Take on new areas as the company and Legal team grow, based on interest and business need.
