## Job description

## WE'RE BUILDING A NEW HEALTHCARE CLEARINGHOUSE

Stedi is building the first new healthcare clearinghouse in decades. In the healthcare sector, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requires that all insurance payers exchange transactions such as claims, eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and remittances using a standardized EDI format called X12 HIPAA. Clearinghouses process the majority of these transactions, offering consolidated connectivity to carriers and providers. Until Stedi, the space was occupied entirely by a small group of legacy players, built on outdated, often pre-internet technology.

Stedi is the world's only programmable healthcare clearinghouse. By offering modern API interfaces alongside traditional real-time and batch EDI processes, we enable both healthcare technology businesses and established players to exchange mission-critical transactions. Our clearinghouse product and customer-first approach have set us apart. Stedi was ranked by Ramp https://ramp.com/data/top-saas-vendors-on-ramp-march-2026 as one of the fastest-growing SaaS vendors.

We have lightning in a bottle: engineers and designers shipping products week in and week out; a lean business team supporting the company’s infrastructure; passion for automation and eliminating toil; $142 million in funding from top investors like Stripe, Addition, USV, Bloomberg Beta, First Round Capital, and more. To learn more about how we work, watch our founder Zack’s interview with First Round Capital https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO6sR-i5rSs.

## WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

As Stedi continues to scale rapidly, we're competing against legacy players whose defense has been centered on complexity and opacity. We're winning, and our growth is creating legal and regulatory questions where precedent is limited and a standard approach doesn’t always exist.

We're looking for a General Counsel to own the questions that arise in this context, turning regulatory uncertainty into a competitive advantage and novel products into defensible, differentiated offerings. The General Counsel will also shape our defensive and offensive legal strategies – not just manage risk, but actively guide Stedi as it defends its interests and advances its positions. In addition, the role covers Stedi’s full legal function, working in close partnership with our Head of Legal on everything from commercial agreements and disputes to compliance, IP, employment, corporate governance, and fundraising.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Develop and execute the regulatory and legal strategy to deepen Stedi's relationships with payers, navigating enforcement, compliance requirements, and relationship dynamics with organizations that control access to the market.
- Lead competitive and enforcement matters, defending and advancing Stedi’s interests, where legal strategy directly determines market outcomes.
- Build the legal framework for novel data products that operate in complex regulatory areas, turning uncertainty into defensible product strategy.
- Use legal and regulatory expertise to identify growth opportunities, accelerate deals, and remove blockers.
- Own the full scope of legal for a fast-growing company alongside our Head of Legal, including contracts, disputes, compliance, IP, employment, corporate governance, and fundraising.
- Partner directly with the CEO and board on strategic decisions where legal and regulatory considerations shape the business direction.

## WHO YOU ARE

- 10+ years of relevant experience between law firms and fast-paced in-house roles.
- Significant in-house experience, including managing litigations and other disputes, ideally while in a senior legal role at a high-growth company.
- Deep healthcare experience is strongly preferred. Lived experience in the regulatory and commercial complexity of healthcare infrastructure, payers, providers, or health tech is ideal. We'll also consider deep experience in another heavily regulated, high-complexity industry (e.g., financial services, payments, insurance).
- A true generalist who can solve problems across domains, not just within a specialty. When you hit something unfamiliar, you strive to figure it out rather than refer it out.
- Fast. We move quickly and expect legal to keep pace.
- Commercial and business-oriented. You think like a business leader who wields legal expertise in furtherance of company strategy, not like a lawyer who occasionally considers business implications.
- Philosophical alignment with the Stedi Standards https://www.stedi.com/careers.
- JD and membership in at least one U.S. state bar.

We’ve been made aware of individuals impersonating the Stedi recruiting team. Please note:

We appreciate your attention to this and your interest in joining Stedi.

At Stedi, we're looking for people who are deeply curious and aligned to our ways of working. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description.
