Description
Company Description At Amwell, we’re transforming healthcare for all—powered by technology and inspired by people. Here, your ideas don’t just matter—they drive real change, improving lives on a global scale. We marry technology and innovation with clinical excellence to provide trusted solutions that solve the healthcare industry’s biggest pain points and are on a mission to enable greater access to more convenient, affordable, and effective care. We do this through our technology-enabled care platform that is designed to help our clients achieve their digital care ambitions – today and in the future. We offer programs spanning the full care continuum , including urgent, acute and specialty care, behavioral health, and services for the treatment of chronic conditions such as heart and cardiometabolic diseases. Programs are powered by Amwell as well as our growing partner network. For almost two decades, Amwell has proudly served some of the largest and most sophisticated healthcare organizations in the U.S. and worldwide. Our team is passionate about technology’s role in transforming care delivery and making it more equitable, accessible, efficient, cost-effective and navigable for all. Brief Overview    We're looking for a practical, business-minded attorney to join Amwell's Legal team as Senior Legal Counsel. The heart of this role is federal commercial contracting and compliance—you'll be our go-to person for prime contracts, subcontracts, flow-down requirements, and the program compliance obligations that come with doing business with the government. From that foundation, you'll also get plenty of variety: supporting clinical contracting and lending a hand on employment, privacy, regulatory, and litigation matters as they come up. If you enjoy being close to the business, like the mix of deep specialty work and broad generalist support, and get satisfaction from being the person teams turn to for a clear, sensible answer, you'll feel right at home here. You'll partner with colleagues across Sales, HR, Clinical, Finance, Operations, and Compliance. We care about your judgment, your curiosity, and your willingness to roll up your sleeves—so if you don't check every single box below, we'd still love to hear from you.   Core Responsibilities    • Lead federal government contracting. Legal subject matter expert for the commercial and compliance side of Amwell's federal government contracts—prime contracts, subcontracts, flow-down requirements, and program compliance obligations. This is the core of the role. • Draft and negotiate commercial agreements. Independently handle time-sensitive contracts with U.S. and international customers, partners, vendors, and healthcare providers—including SaaS, software licensing, clinical services, professional services, business associate, reseller, and data protection agreements. • Be a trusted advisor to the business. Help stakeholders think through contract structure, risk allocation, procurement requirements, healthcare regulatory considerations, privacy and data terms, and operational commitments—translating all of it into plain, actionable guidance. • Support RFI/RFP responses. Provide legal and compliance review on customer proposals, including government procurement materials, certifications, contractual exceptions, and risk review. • Help us stay compliant. Pitch in on regulatory and compliance work and special projects—especially where commercial, healthcare, privacy, and government program requirements intersect. • Support employment matters. Work alongside HR and the Head of Legal on employment and separation agreements, workplace policies, and the everyday employment questions that come up at a growing company. • Lend a hand on disputes and litigation. Help manage litigation holds, gather relevant information, coordinate with internal teams, outside parties, and out
