General Counsel

About CertifyOS CertifyOS is building the data infrastructure that powers modern healthcare. Today, healthcare organizations rely on fragmented and outdated provider data. This creates unnecessary administrative work, regulatory risk, and higher costs across the system. We’re solving that problem. Our API-first platform automates provider licensing, enrollment, credentialing, and network monitoring by connecting directly to hundreds of primary data sources. We help healthcare organizations maintain accurate, compliant, and reliable provider networks at scale. Our vision is simple: One API. One provider ID. Frictionless provider data. We’re backed by leading investors and built by a team with deep experience in provider data systems. At CertifyOS, we value authenticity, accountability, collaboration, results, and openness to feedback. We’re building a high-ownership team focused on solving real infrastructure problems that impact millions of patients. About the role: As our first internal General Counsel, you will be the architect of Certify’s global legal infrastructure during a hyper-growth phase. Reporting directly to the SVP of Finance, you will transition our legal operations from an outsourced model to a high-performing internal function. Your mission is to build the legal systems and discipline necessary to scale us for the future journey ahead. You are a hands-on leader who thrives in the "controlled chaos" of a Series B startup. You aren’t just reviewing contracts; you are institutionalizing the legal discipline required for our next stage of growth by managing the complexities of our US and India-based operations. Since you will be the primary legal partner for a US-headquartered revenue team, this role requires working full US business hours to ensure high-velocity execution for our customers and stakeholders. What you’ll do: Build and Lead the Internal Legal Engine Insourcing & Strategy: Lead the full migration of all legal data, contract repositories, and ongoing matters from external vendors to our internal systems. Automation First: Build and implement "automation-first" tools and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) systems to drive scale and reduce manual review times.

Cross Functional Partner: Partner with various stakeholders as legal matters arise with commercial, compliance or employment teams. US Commercial Law & Revenue Enablement High-Velocity Contracting: Own the drafting and negotiation of MSAs, SOWs, and Data Use Agreements, specifically tailored to US HealthTech and SaaS standards. Sales Partnership: Partner with the Growth team to navigate complex enterprise procurement processes, ensuring legal is a "bridge" to revenue rather than a bottleneck. Regulatory Alignment: Ensure all commercial agreements align with our mission to be the "source of truth" for provider data while protecting our intellectual property and API-first infrastructure. You will need to be a strategic partner with our Compliance team to understand operational impacts of the regulatory environment. Global Compliance & Data Governance Dual-Jurisdiction Mastery: Design and implement robust internal controls and SOPs that satisfy both US healthcare regulations and Indian corporate compliance. Privacy Infrastructure: Act as the lead for data privacy and security legal standards, ensuring our platform’s "Provider 360" view meets the highest standards of the US healthcare ecosystem. Risk Mitigation: Implement frameworks to prevent leakage and ensure audit readiness as we prepare for future institutional funding or exit events. What you’ll need: (Must-Have Experience) The Credentials: Law degree (LLB/LLM) with 8–12 years of progressive legal experience in high-growth technology environments. The "Build" Mindset: Proven experience transitioning a company from an outsourced legal model to a high-performing internal team.
