Interim Head of Legal
Job Description
Head of Legal, Interim
Location: Remote
Employment Type: Consultant / Interim
Opportunity & Impact
Redox is seeking a Head of Legal (interim) to serve as lead legal advisor to our CEO and executive team with a particular focus supporting our commercial organization. This is a hands-on, business-embedded role: beyond core legal leadership, we're looking for someone who brings sharp strategic problem-solving and commercial judgment. This is an interim engagement with close partnership to the CEO and executive team throughout the duration of the consulting agreement with Redox.
Redox is an AI-forward company. We expect this role - like every leader on our team - to actively use AI tools (Claude, etc.) to work faster and smarter.
Job Responsibilities
- Act as a thought partner and lead negotiator in complex enterprise deals, working directly with the sales, customer success, and finance teams.
- Support pricing and packaging for complex SaaS contracts in partnership with the CFO and commercial leaders.
- Participate in board meetings and provide legal counsel to the Board of Directors and its committees as requested.
- Advise on corporate governance practices, legal documentation, and compliance programs such as HITRUST and SOC 2.
- Lead and develop a small, hands-on legal and compliance team, operating as a working leader and sounding board rather than a manager of a large department.
Required Skills & Experience
- Head of Legal or comparable senior in-house legal experience.
- Deep commercial and enterprise contracting experience, including negotiating complex enterprise deals in a highly regulated environment.
- Hands-on execution orientation - comfortable operating without a large team beneath you.
- Demonstrated strategic problem-solving in real business situations, not just legal analysis.
- Business-minded perspective, with the judgment to balance legal risk against commercial goals.
- Experience in various healthcare verticals - e.g. provider, payer, and/or life sciences.
- Comfort and enthusiasm for using AI tools (e.g., Claude) to accelerate legal and contracting work.
- JD from an accredited law school; active license to practice law.
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Regulatory and healthcare SaaS experience.
- Experience identifying business opportunities connected to regulatory change.
- Venture-backed or private equity-backed company experience.
Specific Software Platform/Tools Required and/or Preferred
- Required: Contract lifecycle management and e-signature tools (i.e, LinkSquares, Docusign, Salesforce).
- Preferred: AI tools for legal work (e.g., Claude) for contract review, drafting, and research.
Compensation
$129 - $140 an hour
