Datavant is a data platform company for healthcare whose products and solutions enable organizations to move and connect data securely. Datavant has a network of networks consisting of thousands of organizations, more than 70,000 hospitals and clinics, 70% of the 100 largest health systems, and an ecosystem of 500+ real-world data partners.

By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a highly collaborative, remote-first team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. We hire for three traits: we want people who are smart, nice, and get things done. We invest in our people and believe in hiring for high-potential and humble individuals who can rapidly grow their responsibilities as the company scales. Datavant is a distributed, remote-first team, and we empower Datavanters to shape their working environment in a way that suits their needs.

In this role, you’ll help ensure that the business engine powering Datavant keeps running smoothly and continues to scale as the company grows and develops new products, enabling us to help achieve our vision of transforming the healthcare industry.  Our Legal team is still small and lean, and you will immediately have the opportunity to step in, own projects, and become a critical member of our team. 

You Will:

  • Provide thoughtful and practical product, business, and legal counseling on various legal risks, business strategies, and other issues related to product features, commercial transactions, and general operations.
  • Manage and resolve complicated issues related to commercial deals, and drive alignment with various cross-functional teams.
  • Draft, negotiate, and advise cross-functional teams on a wide variety of commercial agreements, including new business development initiatives, software licenses, data agreements, consulting agreements, partnership agreements, NDAs and vendor contracts.
  • Own the entire contracting cycle--from initial draft to execution--and collaborate with business and product teams to drive contract negotiations to timely and successful completion.
  • Develop familiarity with internal departments and the Company’s business practices to help identify and manage risk related to contracts and accurately and clearly communicate the meaning of contract terms and associated risks as they relate to the business.

What You Will Bring to the Table:

  • J.D., with strong academic credentials and membership in at least one U.S. state bar.
  • 7+ years’ commercial or corporate experience in-house or at a law firm
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with ability to advocate for a position while maintaining a collaborative and open-minded approach.
  • Highly organized, reliable, detail-oriented, and diligent.
  • Ability to work on multiple issues simultaneously and to set appropriate priorities with clients and to deliver results efficiently.
  • Proven ability to provide entrepreneurial, pragmatic, business-oriented advice, with a dedication to superior customer service.
  • Ability to operate autonomously while being a team player who brings a positive attitude to the job.

Bonus Points For:

  • Commercial transaction experience including IP, technology and software/SaaS agreements with significant experience drafting, negotiating, and managing commercial deals for technology companies (either in-house or at a law firm).
  • Experience and knowledge of U.S. healthcare and privacy laws, including HIPAA and data privacy rights and related issues .

We are committed to building a diverse team of Datavanters who are all responsible for stewarding a high-performance culture in which all Datavanters belong and thrive. We are proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected status.

Our compensation philosophy is to be externally competitive, internally fair, and not win or lose on compensation. Salary ranges for this position are developed with the support of benchmarks and industry best practices. 

We’re building a high-growth, high-autonomy culture. We rely less on job titles and more on cultivating an environment where anyone can contribute, the best ideas win, and personal growth is driven by expanding impact. The range posted is for a given job title, which can include multiple levels. Individual rates for the same job title may differ based on their level, responsibilities, skills, and experience for a specific job. The estimated salary range for this role is  $150,000-$225,000.

At the end of this application, you will find a set of voluntary demographic questions. If you choose to respond, your responses will be anonymous and used to help us identify areas of improvement in our recruitment process. (We can only see aggregate responses, not individual responses. In fact, we aren’t even able to see if you’ve responded or not.) Responding is your choice and it will not be used in any way in our hiring process.
