Help shape a better healthcare system
At Suki, we’re building healthcare AI technology that solves one of the biggest problems in medicine: clinician burnout. Our proprietary Ambient Clinical Intelligence (ACI) platform is built in partnership with clinicians, with the mission of meaningfully improving their lives, their patients’ lives, and the healthcare system as a whole.
As the only purpose-built AI platform to span the entire clinical workflow, Suki frees clinicians from heavy administrative burdens and brings them back to the reason they chose medicine in the first place: caring for patients.
In this role, you’ll own ensuring that the commercial contracts and business engine powering Suki keeps running smoothly and continues to scale as the company grows, enabling us to help transform the healthcare industry.
What You’ll Do
As Suki’s Legal Counsel, Commercial and Product, you’ll handle a variety of legal, commercial, and product counseling issues. Reporting directly to the General Counsel, you’ll be an exceptionally important part of the company and will immediately have the opportunity to step in, own projects, and become a critical member of Suki’s Legal team who will work cross-functionally with all of Suki’s teams, especially our Sales, Customer Success, and Product teams. This position isn’t a role where you’ll just redline documents and pass them off; you will be deeply embedded in our commercial growth and the success of the company.
Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as the point person for commercial deals. You’ll draft, negotiate, and advise cross-functional teams on a wide variety of commercial agreements, including new business development initiatives, software licenses, partnership agreements, and vendor contracts.
- Provide thoughtful and practical business and legal advice on various product, legal risks, business strategies, and other issues related to commercial transactions, data privacy, and the shifting landscape of AI regulation.
- Build, streamline, and operationalize Suki’s contracting process to help us scale, including creating new playbooks to help the Sales team automate their sales motions.
- Own the entire contracting cycle--from initial draft to execution--working with business teams to drive contract negotiations to quick and successful completion.
Qualifications
- JD, with strong academic credentials and membership in at least one U.S. state bar.
- 5+ years of legal experience, with significant experience drafting, negotiating, and managing commercial deals for technology companies (either in-house or at a law firm).
- Proven ability to provide entrepreneurial, pragmatic, business-oriented advice, with a dedication to superior customer service.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex legal concepts into actionable, collaborative business advice.
- 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.
- Ability to operate autonomously, while being a team player who brings a positive attitude to the job.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working on healthcare, AI, and SaaS commercial agreements.
- Experience and knowledge of privacy laws, including HIPAA and GDPR, and emerging regulatory policies on Generative AI and data security.
- Start-up experience (in-house or at a firm).
- Demonstrated ability to operationalize and scale the commercial contracting process.
*We don’t necessarily expect you to have done everything on the above list — most importantly, you should be able to show that you’re enthusiastic about Suki’s mission and ready for a challenge.
