Abridge is seeking an Associate General Counsel for Life Sciences to serve as the first dedicated legal counsel for a newly created life sciences business unit. This is a founding member role offering the opportunity to shape legal strategy and compliance frameworks from the ground up.
You will partner closely with product, engineering, and strategy teams to embed legal and compliance into the product lifecycle. Key responsibilities include: serving as product counsel for design, development, and deployment; supporting go-to-market activities including contract drafting and negotiation; developing Abridge's life sciences legal strategy and guardrails; providing guidance on regulatory, privacy, and compliance matters (HIPAA, CCPA/CPRA, AI/ML); advising on healthcare regulatory compliance (FDA, FTC, fraud and abuse laws); coordinating with cross-functional teams (policy, partner experience, marketing, IT, finance, corporate development, commercial); supporting privacy impact assessments and data governance; managing external counsel relationships; and monitoring emerging AI and healthcare technology regulations.
You bring 10+ years of legal experience with at least 2+ years in a dedicated life sciences role. You have strong understanding of pharmaceutical and biotech products, proven ability to translate complex regulatory concepts into practical guidance, and comfort managing high-volume projects with competing priorities. You work independently with sound business judgment, collaborate effectively across technical and commercial teams, and demonstrate creativity in solving novel legal matters. Familiarity with AI trends, particularly large language models and responsible AI principles, is important.
