ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Associate General Counsel at Daymark Health you'll have the chance to be our first in-house lawyer and build the legal function from the ground up. You'll join the senior leadership team, report directly to the CEO, and shape how a fast-growing, multi-state care model operates as it expands its provider footprint and its portfolio of value-based contracts with national and regional health plans.

This is a rare opportunity to own the legal function. You'll have a say on everything from corporate governance to the regulatory architecture that makes Daymark's model possible, including enabling us to launch in new states. You’ll create the playbook for how the legal function operates at Daymark: the contracting templates, approval workflows, and outside counsel strategy that enables the business to move quickly and in the right direction.

You'll thrive here if you've operated as a true legal generalist inside a healthcare company, are fluent in value-based care contracting, and are excited by the idea of building something foundational rather than maintaining something that already exists.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Your first 90 days: Learn the business and set the roadmap

You'll step in as our company-wide general counsel and get to know how Daymark operates. Starting on day one, you'll:

• Act as Daymark’s company-wide general counsel, covering corporate governance, board matters (including board minutes, consents, and equity plan administration), entity formation and maintenance, M&A and diligence support, and commercial contracting.
• Serve as Daymark's lead on corporate practice of medicine (CPOM) analysis across all states of operation, advising on permissible ownership, governance, and management structures for provider-based entities.

GREAT FIT IF YOU HAVE

• 5+ years of experience working in healthtech or in Big Law, with a JD and have passed the bar. Your legal background should be in corporate law and not in litigation. It'd be a benefit if you have experience negotiating and structuring value-based care arrangements with health plans, but it is not required.
• Experience with CPOM, healthcare fraud and abuse law (Stark, AKS, FCA), and MSO/PC structuring across multiple states.
• Working knowledge of HIPAA and state privacy law, and comfort advising on emerging AI governance and liability issues.
• Experience with multi-state employment law for a distributed or clinical workforce.
• Prior experience as a Associate General Counsel or senior deputy, comfortable spanning governance, M&A, commercial, and employment matters without a large team.
• A track record of building legal processes and infrastructure, and sound judgment on when to build in-house versus engage outside counsel.
• Excellent judgment, low ego, and a bias toward pragmatic, business-enabling solutions in a fast-moving environment.

The base compensation for this role is expected to be in the range of $225,000 to $260,000 annually, depending on experience.
