One stop solution to your remote job hunt!

Our health system is broken, and it’s a huge problem. Costs are rising out of control while the patient experience gets worse. At Sana, we're passionate about fixing this problem by bringing accessible and affordable health plans to small and medium businesses. We've built an innovative team with top talent from across the health insurance and tech industries to create engaging, modern plans for our clients. This allows our customers to offer competitive benefits packages while paying an average of 20% less than traditional plans.   Sana seeks a Head of Legal to spearhead a variety of legal needs for our growing company. You will be an integral member of the cross-functional leadership team, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer with dotted line reporting responsibilities to the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors. You will be relied on to provide sound legal advice and strategic decision-making for the company as we expand to new states and broaden the scope of our operations as a payer, provider, and distributor of health care, benefits, and insurance services.   To excel in this role, you'll need to be a self-starter and problem-solver who enjoys working in a dynamic, fast-paced and collaborative environment, and who welcomes the challenge of tackling the variety of strategic legal issues that arise on a day-to-day basis. As a team of one initially, being able to prioritize effectively while putting scalable systems and processes in place will be key. You look at the role of legal in a startup as an enabler of business strategy and a lens to assess the risk and reward, not a brake pedal on innovation. You’ll be joining a talented, experienced team and be a part of building something from the ground up, helping with corporate initiatives like fundraising and board meetings as well as weighing in on any company initiative that has significant regulatory or legal concerns associated with it.
