The opportunity: Legal Counsel Product
As Legal Counsel Product, you will be the legal partner embedded in our product and engineering organisation, making sure our platform is built on a globally sound legal foundation, and that it can scale compliantly across every market we operate in. This is a medior role with real room to grow. You will work directly alongside product, engineering, and compliance teams, translating regulatory complexity into practical frameworks and clear product requirements. The strategic platform agenda sits with senior leadership; your focus is delivery, getting the legal architecture right, building standards, and being a collaborative, trusted partner to the teams building our product every day.
What you'll do in this role
Product & Platform development
- Partner with Product and Engineering to design compliant SaaS, subscription, and platform models, identifying the legal requirements that need to be built in from the start.
- Define how regulatory and compliance risks are allocated across product tiers, ensuring the platform can grow without accumulating unmanaged legal exposure.
- Identify legal and regulatory challenges early in the product development cycle and build preventive frameworks, so issues are addressed before they become blockers.
Healthcare Regulatory expertise
- Provide practical legal guidance on healthcare regulatory matters across our markets, covering MDR, GDPR, NHS frameworks, HIPAA, and jurisdiction-specific requirements wherever we operate.
- Translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable product requirements that engineering and product teams can work with directly.
- Work with Privacy & Contracting Counsel to ensure platform regulatory requirements across all markets are embedded in templates and playbooks, enabling consistent and efficient execution globally.
AI Governance & enablement
- Contribute to maintaining the company’s AI governance framework, including policies, risk assessments, and regulatory monitoring under the EU AI Act and related regulations.
- Partner with product, data, and compliance colleagues to ensure AI systems are ethical, legally sound, and meet applicable healthcare regulatory standards.
- Support the adoption of AI across business functions in a way that is transparent, compliant, and enables rather than constrains innovation.
Knowledge contribution
- Bring working knowledge of study designs, clinical trial frameworks, and healthcare research regulations to strengthen the team’s ability to identify where product use cases and research requirements intersect.
Cross-functional collaboration
- Act as the primary legal partner for product, compliance, and commercial teams on day-to-day matters, embedded in their workflows and accessible, not a distant advisory function.
- Contribute to a consistent legal platform across all markets, ensuring alignment between jurisdictions as the business scales.
What you bring to the table
- A qualified lawyer in the EU or UK, with a solid grounding in EU and/or UK healthcare and digital health regulations.
- +5 years’ post-qualification experience, ideally in healthtech, medtech, or SaaS, with meaningful in-house or cross-functional exposure.
- Demonstrated experience supporting product development, with the ability to add legal value without creating process friction.
- Working knowledge of healthcare laws and risk allocation in regulated industries across multiple jurisdictions, MDR/IVDR, GDPR, the EU AI Act, NHS-related frameworks, and beyond.
- A collaborative working style, comfortable in cross-functional environments, able to build trust quickly with non-legal stakeholders across product, engineering, and commercial.
- Familiarity balancing healthcare regulations with SaaS and platform risk allocation, with an understanding of how both sides of that equation work in practice.
- Strong ability to translate complex regulation into clear, actionable guidance that product and engineering teams can work with directly.
- Familiarity with clinical trial regulations or computer systems validation (CSV) is a meaningful plus.
What success in the first 6 months looks like
- Platform clarity: A product-focused legal framework is in place, grounded in the regulatory requirements across all markets we operate in, giving product and engineering teams the clarity and terms to build compliantly at scale.
- Regulatory readiness: A regulatory playbook for healthcare compliance across our markets is in place and actively used by product teams, built in close collaboration with the teams it serves.
