Verse Medical is a Series C-funded healthtech company building modern software infrastructure for home-based and outpatient clinical care. The company's platform connects providers, payors, and patients to coordinate care outside traditional hospital settings, replacing legacy fax-and-phone workflows with integrated digital systems.
You will be hired as Verse Medical's first General Counsel, reporting directly to the CEO. This is a founding legal executive role responsible for establishing the company's legal and regulatory foundation from the ground up.
Key responsibilities include:
- Regulatory & Healthcare Compliance: Direct multi-state healthcare regulatory strategy, overseeing DME (durable medical equipment) licensure, accreditation, and compliance across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer frameworks.

- Product & Operational Counsel: Partner with Product, Engineering, and Clinical teams to ensure regulatory alignment before launching new service lines and software workflows.
- Department Buildout: Act as sole legal practitioner in year one, handling primary legal execution directly while architecting long-term legal and compliance infrastructure.
Required qualifications include a JD with active bar admission (NY preferred), 10+ years of legal experience with substantial healthcare regulatory focus, deep expertise in federal healthcare fraud and abuse law applied to real commercial structures, hands-on experience with Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement and audit processes, and demonstrated ability to own payer and enterprise agreements end-to-end. You must be comfortable operating as the only lawyer in the building, making independent calls, and providing business-forward advice under uncertainty.
Preferred experience includes direct DMEPOS, home health, post-acute, infusion, or specialty pharmacy background; experience defending prepayment review actions; familiarity with Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding; first legal hire or first-in-function leadership at venture-backed companies; HIPAA and health data privacy expertise; and experience selecting and managing outside counsel.
