Virta Health median: 44 days open

The posting

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people.

Virta is looking for a forward-thinking General Counsel who combines strong legal judgment with commercial instincts, operational pragmatism, and a builder mentality.

This role is not designed for a purely defensive or compliance-oriented legal executive. We are seeking a leader who can help accelerate growth while appropriately managing risk in a complex and evolving healthcare environment.

The General Counsel will oversee all legal affairs of the company, partner closely with executive leadership and the Board, and help shape the company’s readiness for its next stage of scale, including public company preparation.

The ideal candidate brings experience operating inside a high-growth, venture-backed technology or healthcare company, along with strong exposure to IPO readiness and public company disciplines. We are especially interested in candidates who understand how emerging AI technologies are transforming the legal function and can help Virta thoughtfully leverage those tools across legal operations, contracting, compliance, and enterprise risk management.

The General Counsel will report directly to the CEO and work closely with the executive leadership team, and Board of Directors.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Lead and develop Virta’s Legal team, building a high-performing function with clear priorities, strong operating rhythms, and the capabilities needed to support company growth, enterprise risk management, and Virta’s next stage of scale

- Serve as a strategic advisor to the executive team and Board on legal, regulatory, governance, and business matters

- Partner closely with Commercial, Product, Clinical, People, Finance, and Operations teams to enable company growth

- Lead all corporate legal matters, including governance, financing support, strategic transactions, litigation management, employment matters, and enterprise risk

- Oversee healthcare regulatory and compliance strategy across a rapidly evolving landscape

- Help prepare the organization for future public company requirements, including governance, disclosure practices, and operational rigor

- Support complex commercial contracting with enterprise customers, health plans, employers, and strategic partners

- Build scalable legal processes and infrastructure appropriate for a high-growth company

- Modernize the legal function through the thoughtful adoption of AI-enabled tools and workflows

- Manage and develop outside counsel relationships and any future in-house legal team expansion

- Foster a practical, solutions-oriented legal culture that balances risk management with business velocity

MUST-HAVES

- Significant legal leadership experience within a high-growth, venture-backed technology or healthcare company

- Experience serving as General Counsel or senior legal leader at a company with $200M+ in revenue and meaningful operational complexity

- Strong commercial orientation and ability to be a business partner, not simply a gatekeeper

- Experience supporting IPO readiness, serving as the #1 or #2 legal leader through an IPO process, and/or operating within a public company legal environment

- Strong executive presence and ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and Boards

- Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

- Proven track record of architecting durable AI systems that solve cross-functional challenges and deliver measurable improvements to business efficiency

- Combination of strategic thinking and willingness to operate hands-on when needed

- Experience building and leading high performing Legal teams

- JD required; strong academic credentials preferred

- Based in or willing to spend meaningful time in the SF Bay Area or Denver

- Nice-to-have: meaningful healthcare industry experience, including familiarity with healthcare regulatory environments

VALUES-DRIVEN CULTURE

Virta’s company values drive our culture, so you’ll do well if:

- You put people first and take care of yourself, your peers, and our patients equally

- You have a strong sense of ownership and take initiative while empowering others to do the same

- You prioritize positive impact over busy work

- You have no ego and understand that everyone has something to bring to the table regardless of experience

- You appreciate transparency and promote trust and empowerment through open access of information

- You are evidence-based and prioritize data and science over seniority or dogma

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
