Head of Legal
In this role, you own Superpower's legal function as an integrated operating system, not a back-office compliance check.
Healthcare regulatory, corporate, commercial, and data privacy work are treated as one connected surface. Every contract, policy, and filing is built to move the business forward while managing risk with precision. You don't slow things down - you make it possible to move faster by clearing the path.
You work hands-on. You draft, negotiate, and close real agreements. You operate directly alongside Operations, Product, Growth, and Clinical teams - embedded in the work, not reviewing it after the fact.
This is not a review-and-approve role and not a hand-off-to-outside-counsel role.
What You'll Do
Healthcare regulatory
Own regulatory strategy across all states where Superpower operates — multi-state medical practice laws, corporate practice of medicine, telemedicine, lab ordering, and prescribing
Partner with Operations to structure compliant care delivery models as the service expands into new services (ex. prescription peptides)
Advise on marketing claims, advertising compliance, and FTC/FDA boundaries for health-related consumer messaging
Corporate and commercial
Draft and negotiate vendor, partnership, and service agreements — labs, pharmacies, diagnostic providers, health systems, and insurance/payer contracts
Structure influencer, ambassador, endorsement, and B2B2C distribution agreements
Support fundraising activity including equity rounds, SAFEs, and investor-related documentation
Manage corporate governance including board matters, equity plans, and entity structure across jurisdictions
Structure influencer, ambassador, and endorsement agreements
Support B2B distribution deals and partnerships
Data privacy and AI
Build the legal framework for how Superpower collects, stores, processes, and uses member health data — from EMRs and health information exchanges to genetic reports, wearables, and the AI-powered digital twin
Stay ahead of evolving state and federal privacy regulations (HIPAA, state health privacy laws, FTC health data rules)
Advise Product and Engineering on legal guardrails for AI-driven clinical recommendations
What Good Looks Like
1) Known as someone who makes things possible — not someone who says no
The team never waits on legal. You clear the path before they hit it, or provide a fast, clear framework when they do
Regulatory strategy opens new states and services, not just protects existing ones. Contracts close quickly because templates are tight and risk calls are decisive
2) Strong regulatory instincts — healthcare experience is a plus, not a prerequisite
You bring deep regulatory experience from any highly regulated industry. You learn new domains fast and build real fluency quickly
Builds scalable compliance frameworks rather than one-off fixes. Flags risks before they become blockers
3) Judgment and precision
Can distinguish real risk from theoretical risk and advise accordingly
Knows when to use outside counsel and when to handle it directly
Every recommendation comes with "here's how we do this" — not just "here's the issue"
Who You Are
Health obsessed — strong personal interest in longevity and preventive healthcare
High-velocity operator — you work with urgency and iterate rapidly. This is not a slow-moving legal department
Ownership mindset — you see work through from ambiguous regulatory question to production-ready framework
5+ years of legal experience in a highly regulated industry, with strong regulatory and commercial contract skills. Healthcare experience is valued but not required
Sharp communicator who translates complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers
Comfortable with ambiguity, cross-functional collaboration, and building 0-to-1 legal infrastructure
JD; active bar membership in at least one US state
Bonus: Startup or founder experience
