## Job description

Who are we and why should you join us?

BetterHelp is on a mission to remove the traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health care more accessible to everyone. Founded in 2013, we are now the world’s largest online therapy service, providing affordable and convenient therapy across the globe. Our network of over 30,000 licensed therapists has helped millions of people take ownership of their mental health and change their lives forever. And we’re not stopping there – as the unmet need for mental health services continues to grow, BetterHelp is committed to being part of the solution.

As an Associate Director and Corporate Counsel at BetterHelp, you’ll join a diverse team of licensed clinicians, engineers, product pros, creatives, marketers, and business leaders who share a passion for expanding access to therapy. And as a mental health company, we take employee mental health just as seriously as we do our mission. We deeply invest in our team’s well-being and professional development, because we know that business and individual growth go hand-in-hand. At BetterHelp, you’ll carve your own path, make an immediate impact, and be challenged every day – with a supportive community behind you the whole way.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone to join us as our Associate Director and Corporate Counsel for our international expansion. You will join our lean and highly impactful legal team supporting Teladoc’s key asset, BetterHelp, as it scales its operations outside of the US. Teladoc is an ever-growing, dynamic and world-spanning public parent company. BetterHelp is the world’s largest virtual counseling service and a critical component to Teladoc’s current and future growth.

This individual will be a key contributor to all aspects of BetterHelp’s international legal needs. An ideal candidate for this position will be fluent in English with additional legal experience in one of our key European target markets (France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain or Italy). This team member must have flexibility to adapt to changing priorities and organizational needs. They will have an outstanding sense of commerciality and will be solutions focused. In addition, the candidate will have the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, growing, exciting environment and to take ownership of projects and programs.

What will you do?

This role works across multiple areas of law including contracts, litigation, IP, health and telehealth regulation, government affairs, employment, compliance and general corporate. Independent management of outside counsel is integral to the position, as well as hands-on production of work products.

As our international legal counsel, you will:

- Advise on a wide variety of legal issues related to our international business, supporting both new market launches and existing operations
- Negotiate and draft product partnership agreements, sales contracts, marketing affiliate/partner agreements advertising/creative/podcast/influencer agreements, SaaS, and vendor agreements in compliance with applicable laws with a focus on data security and privacy laws across the globe
- Support privacy compliance in non-US markets, including GDPR and local equivalents (e.g. advising on product/process changes and helping update related policies and procedures)
- Advise on marketing, digital services/platform laws, consumer protection, and trade practices requirements in international markets
- Support health/telehealth regulatory compliance in relevant markets, partnering with internal stakeholders and external/local counsel as needed
- Support employment and contractor legal matters in international markets and assist in drafting and updating related terms and agreements
- Support and optimise privacy operations, including privacy-related vendor/partnership reviews and privacy ticket triage/reviews (e.g. DSARs and other privacy inquiries)
- Support litigation matters and regulatory/government inquiries as needed, including coordinating with external counsel and internal stakeholders (as applicable)

What will you NOT do?

- You will NOT worry about "runway", "cash left", or "how much time we have until the next round". We have the startup DNA but we're fully backed and funded, all the way to success.
- You will NOT be confined to your "job". You will get involved in product, marketing, business strategy, and almost everything we do.
- You will NOT be bogged down by office politics, ego, or bad attitude. Only positive, pleasure-to-work-with people are allowed here!
- You will NOT get yourself burned out. We work hard but we believe in maintaining a sustainable work/life balance. Really.

Can I work remotely?

Yes. We operate on PST and candidates in any time zone are welcome to apply. We ask employees to travel to our San Jose, CA office up to three times per year plus one company-wide offsite to collaborate in person and strengthen working relationships.
