Kontakt.io is building the platform that care operations run on. We reduce waste, cut costs, and improve throughput by automating and orchestrating clinical workflows. Using AI, real‑time location data (RTLS), and EHR integration, our platform empowers care teams with self‑learning agents that adapt in real time — enhancing operational performance and transforming patient care.
We’re trusted by HCA, Dignity Health, Mercy Health, Trinity Health, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and we’ve quadrupled our ARR in the last 24 months. Backed by Goldman Sachs, we’re scaling toward $100 M+ ARR in the next two years — and we’re looking for a VP Legal to help build the foundation that scales our next phase of growth.
VP Legal Role You’ll be the company’s first in‑house legal leader — building and running a lean, high‑performing legal function that supports our commercial scale, protects our IP, and manages risk with speed and pragmatism. You will
Be the legal engine of our growth: advise the executive team and department heads on commercial, corporate, data, and employment law across the U.S. and Europe
Structure and negotiate enterprise SaaS agreements with the largest health systems in the U.S., balancing customer expectations, regulatory requirements, and Kontakt.io’s business goals
Manage outside counsel relationships (corporate, employment, IP, regulatory) and define when to bring work in‑house
Own corporate governance: maintain clean cap tables, board consents, and subsidiary structure in alignment with CFO, CRO, and CEO
Ensure compliance with HIPAA, data privacy, and healthcare regulatory frameworks in partnership with our Security & Compliance team
Shape the next stage: help evolve policies, templates, and playbooks as we scale toward $100 M+ ARR, multiple geographies, and enterprise‑level contracts
Be a cultural leader — practical, fast, and business‑mindful; a "yes, if" partner, not a "no" gatekeeper
What Success Looks Like
30 Days: Understand our business, risk landscape, and contracting flow. Build relationships with execs, finance, and go‑to‑market teams
60 Days: Take over day‑to‑day contract review and outside counsel coordination. Introduce structure and predictability to legal workflows
90 Days: Become the go‑to advisor for complex deal negotiations and compliance matters. Deliver a scalable legal ops process that reduces friction
6 Months: Own the legal domain — from commercial and corporate to compliance and governance — and act as trusted advisor to the CEO, CRO and CFO
You’re a Fit If You…
Have 10+ years of legal experience, with a mix of law firm and in‑house roles (preferably in healthcare, SaaS, or regulated tech)
Have a JD and active bar membership (New York preferred)
Have deep experience negotiating enterprise SaaS / BAA contracts and managing data protection and compliance
Are business‑first: you translate legal risk into operational decisions, not paralysis
Have built or scaled a legal function from scratch in a growth‑stage or Series B–D environment
Thrive in fast, dynamic, cross‑functional settings — working side‑by‑side with Sales, Product, and Finance
Are pragmatic, direct, and grounded — focused on outcomes, not memos
Benefits
Equity in a high‑growth company on a clear trajectory toward $400 M+ ARR
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off plus 10 paid holidays
The tech, tools, and autonomy you need to do your best work
Our 7 Virtues
We think people‑first : We are direct and empathetic about customers, individuals, and experiences. Valued & seen.
We are effective : Act with urgency, in light of the mission. We do what is useful & not wasteful. We run lean.
We innovate : We go beyond & think about doing better. If we decide to do it, we want to be the best. “Can’t be done” excites us.
Simplicity wins : Precise. No unnecessary complexity. 80/20. Simplicity ≠ easy.
No ego : Strong opinions, loosely held. Open‑minded, analytical, and flexible with purpose. Let data tell the story.
Let me take care of it : We own our goals. Whatever is assigned to you, just nail it. Get it done.
We win and lose together : We create an environment where people get shit done, execute fast, speak up, and fail/learn faster.
