Beacon Biosignals is transforming precision medicine for the brain through at-home EEG platforms for clinical development and diagnostics. The company combines EEG and cardiopulmonary signals to deliver reimbursable assessments for sleep and central nervous system disorders.
You will own the full contract lifecycle for customer and vendor agreements, reporting directly to the General Counsel. This is Beacon's primary contracting role, responsible for drafting, negotiating, redlining, and executing agreements from term sheet through signature.
Key responsibilities include:
- Negotiate pharma and biopharma collaboration agreements, clinical trial services agreements, and data licensing/RWD/RWE agreements
- Lead negotiations on SaaS and platform subscription agreements, licensing agreements, device supply agreements, and partnerships with health systems and academic medical centers
- Support commercialization of FDA-cleared devices (Waveband, SleepView) by ensuring supply, distribution, and reseller agreements include appropriate regulatory cooperation and quality provisions
- Negotiate and manage supplier and vendor contracts, including HIPAA business associate agreements
- Serve as subject-matter expert on data rights: ownership, licensing scope, and secondary-use restrictions covering EEG, sleep, and clinical data
- Apply working knowledge of privacy rules (HIPAA, GDPR) to flag issues and escalate to General Counsel
- Create, maintain, and improve contract templates, playbooks, and negotiation positions
- Manage contract repository, tracking renewal dates, milestone deadlines, and expirations
- Partner across the company to keep deals moving and provide plain-English guidance to non-lawyers on contract terms and risk
You bring 5–8+ years negotiating commercial agreements in-house, at a law firm, or in a paralegal/contracts role supporting a life sciences, health tech, or SaaS company. You have demonstrated experience independently negotiating customer-facing commercial agreements from first draft to signature, solid understanding of data rights, and working familiarity with HIPAA and GDPR issues in commercial contracts. Excellent contract drafting skills and plain-English negotiation style are essential. You work independently and report directly to the General Counsel in a lean legal function.
Nice-to-have qualifications include paralegal certification or contracts management credential, experience in life sciences/pharma/biopharma/medical devices/digital health, experience negotiating clinical trial agreements or CRO-style service agreements, familiarity with contract lifecycle management tools (e.g., Ironclad), experience with RWD/RWE licensing structures, and exposure to FDA medical device regulatory considerations as they intersect with commercial agreements.
