In House Counsel
Who we are
Path is a healthtech company dedicated to making mental health care work for everyone. Path takes a patient-first approach, where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. With Path, it’s easy to find a high-quality therapist or psychiatric clinician who accepts insurance and is actively accepting new patients.
What we’re solving
Over 65 million Americans have a treatable mental health issue — that’s 1 in 5 people. Today it’s difficult to find a provider, and for those with complicated conditions, it’s nearly impossible to find coordinated care. We’re here to fix this.
Our Mission
Path's mission is to make mental healthcare work for everyone.
About The Role
Path is hiring an In House Counsel as our first legal hire, overseeing outside counsel and acting as a trusted guide in legal discussions big and small. We are a fast growing start-up, and expect our In House Counsel to understand that risk spotting and “you can’t do that because” doesn’t help us navigate risk and push forward the business at the pace we want to move. The ability to help Path adeptly navigate through risk will be essential. This person will develop and implement a contract management system and contract review process, identify when outside counsel is or isn’t needed and manage all outside counsel requests. More importantly, they will proactively know or find the answer to needs across corporate governance, commercial, and employment law, and ensure the business is set up for scale.
This role will report directly to the COO until we hire General Counsel and interface regularly across the executive team.
You Will
- Advise the executive leadership team on all legal matters related to the company's operations and strategic initiatives
- Review and negotiate various agreements, including vendor contracts, partnership agreements, and licensing agreements
- Develop and implement corporate governance policies and procedures
- Ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including commercial and employment laws
- Manage outside counsel relationships and budgets
- Manage and drive forward initiatives with outside counsel
- Ensure we have an efficient and effective contract management and review process in place
- Collaborate across teams as a business partner, providing prompt, thoughtful, and structured legal advice
What We’re Looking For
- JD degree from an accredited law school
- 8+ years of relevant experience in roles of increasing responsibility
- Experience with a scaling start-up environment
- Experience with managing outside counsel and running a commercial team
- Experience with employment law as it relates to in-company HR issues
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Highly organized, with an ability to create and maintain systems that ensure accuracy
Our Team
The people of Path are what truly define our mission and determine our impact on the world. We believe in building not only a team, but a diverse community that thrives by helping each other succeed and grow and inspiring each other by taking on big challenges.
For employees, Path is a 100% remote healthtech company and we’re HIRING! We're excited to bring people onto the team who are committed to raising the bar on mental health care.
