Description

We’re looking for a Director of Legal to lead our legal, risk, and regulatory management functions. You should apply if you’re eager to balance the needs of a rapidly growing startup with those of the healthcare industry. We're excited about meeting candidates of all backgrounds who are passionate about our mission to build a world where no one’s health is hindered by their need.

At Healthify we're rethinking how healthcare organizations and communities work together to connect struggling populations to social services.

Our founding team of technologists and social workers came from a background of working with vulnerable patients in Baltimore hospitals. They saw how social needs - like access to food and housing - dramatically impacted healthcare outcomes and costs and were moved to create Healthify with the mission of building a world where no one’s health is hindered by their need. Our products are now used by some of the country’s largest healthcare organizations

Since our founding, we’ve been backed by impact investors and VCs - from Kapor Capital to Primary Venture Partners - and we’ve built a team that’s both diverse and mission-driven. We enjoy meeting people who share in our commitment to cultivating a thoughtful and safe work environment, and who are results focused. People from marginalized and underrepresented communities are encouraged to get in touch!
