• Manage and develop the corporate legal team, beginning with a Corporate Counsel. Set priorities, delegate effectively, provide coaching and performance feedback, and support hiring and onboarding as the team grows.
• Oversee post-closing legal work, including governance updates, entity consolidation, intercompany agreements, and resolution of outstanding obligations, and partner with internal post-closing integration teams.
• Direct outside counsel relationships, establishing clear expectations for scope, staffing, timelines, work quality, and fees. Forecast legal resourcing needs and outside counsel spend.
• Build repeatable practices for M&A and other corporate transactions, including standard LOI positions, transaction playbooks, and guidance on recurring issues. Strengthen coordination between Legal and the business.
• Oversee legal readiness for fundraising, financing, and other strategic transactions, including corporate records, capitalization information, and diligence materials.

• Strong M&A training gained at a law firm, or comparable experience within a large organization with a complex subsidiary and entity structure.
• Experience leading transactions in the high eight- to nine-figure range, or a substantial volume of transactions demonstrating comparable complexity and responsibility.
• Proven people leader with formal experience managing and developing lawyers or other legal professionals, including setting expectations, evaluating performance, and providing actionable feedback.
• Demonstrated ability to lead deals with substantial autonomy, direct outside counsel, and coordinate multiple transactions and stakeholders in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong business judgment and the ability to advise senior executives on transaction structure, negotiating positions, and legal risk through clear, well-supported recommendations.
• A strong foundation in corporate governance, entity management, capitalization matters, and financing diligence, with the ability to oversee this work and guide others’ execution.
• Experience developing processes, playbooks, or systems that improve the quality, consistency, and efficiency of legal work.
• Clear, responsive communication and strong follow-through, including the ability to anticipate issues, challenge assumptions constructively, and keep stakeholders aligned.
• Healthcare M&A or experience in another regulated industry is a strong plus, but not required.
