Head of Legal
Superpower
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
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
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
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"
- 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
