Cedar is seeking a Commercial Counsel to join our Legal & Compliance Team. This role is ideal for a technology transactions attorney with 4+ years of enterprise cloud and technology experience who is a skilled drafter and capable dealmaker and is excited to help build how a modern legal team works with AI. You will join a highly collaborative Cedar Legal & Compliance team and serve as a go-to legal partner to Cedar’s growth, client management, sales, strategic partnerships, and vendor contracting teams, owning a portfolio of complex deals from structuring to signature. You will also help shape the playbooks, templates, and AI-enabled workflows the rest of the team relies on. Growth opportunities in the role based on your skills, experience, and interests may include product counseling, privacy, compliance, marketing, and general corporate matters, with guidance from experienced colleagues.
At Cedar, we offer customizable, enterprise solutions to leading health systems aimed at improving the healthcare financial experience for Americans, so our commercial agreements are large, complex and highly negotiated. This is a unique opportunity for you to work on high-stakes deals while helping curate the tech- and AI-forward tools and practices that help our team scale. You will have real latitude to improve our contracting process, grow your skills, get regular coaching and feedback, put new tools into practice, and see the direct impact of your work on deal velocity and our business.
Commercial Transactions: Structure, draft, and negotiate complex sales, vendor, and strategic partnership agreements, including Master Services Agreements (MSAs), HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), license agreements, and consulting agreements. Own a portfolio of assigned matters from intake through execution, manage competing deadlines, and partner with product, privacy, and compliance legal colleagues for specialist support.
Business Counseling: Serve as a trusted and pragmatic legal advisor to sales, finance, procurement, and business development teams on deal structures and commercial terms, including AI, technology licensing, forward-deployed engineering engagements, data rights, go-to-market activities, and more.
Technology, Ops, & AI Enablement: Partner with legal colleagues to identify and implement ongoing improvements of Cedar’s standard contract templates (MSA, BAA, NDA, Order Form, and Service Descriptions.), deal intelligence and playbooks, and legal processes to ensure they remain streamlined and "plain English." Collaborate with Legal & Compliance Operations to maintain and improve contract templates, playbooks, CLM tools, and technology-enabled contracting workflows. Use approved technology and AI tools to improve drafting, contract review, and access to contract information, with appropriate attention to confidentiality, accuracy, and team guidance. Measure and share results, such as cycle time and business self-service.
Team: Contribute as a team player to help further the status of the Legal & Compliance team as an effective, respected, and valued resource within the company. Collaborate with the Legal Product, Regulatory, and Compliance team to understand relevant product and regulatory developments and incorporate agreed updates into Cedar’s agreements, templates, and guidance.
Knowledge Sharing: Share practical learnings, business direction, and market insights with teammates. Seek and incorporate feedback, and support the onboarding and development of colleagues as appropriate.
Outside Counsel Collaboration: Collaborate with specialized outside counsel and supplemental legal resources on assigned technology transactions and other matters, with attention to quality and budget.
Periodic travel to New York and other locations for company and team meetings.
