Fully Remote | Fast-Growing Biotech / Pharma Company

Compensation : $200,000 – $300,000 Base + More

Join a mission-driven biotech company transforming the future of rare autoimmune disease treatment. We’re developing innovative therapies for patients who need them most—and we’re looking for a strategic legal partner to help guide our growth.

What You’ll Do

  • Keep Us Compliant: Navigate the complex biotech regulatory landscape and ensure we’re ahead of the curve on evolving laws.
  • Strengthen Our Culture of Integrity: Develop and deliver engaging training on compliance topics—from our Code of Conduct to anti-bribery and anti-kickback rules—while continuously refining company policies.
  • Be a Deal-Maker: Draft, review, and negotiate critical agreements (clinical trial, licensing, manufacturing, research collaborations, vendor, and more).
  • Enable Commercial Success: Partner with the commercial team to review promotional materials, advertising, and other go-to-market initiatives.
  • Protect and Empower: Spot legal risks early, propose smart solutions, and balance business agility with compliance.
  • Collaborate Across Teams: Work side-by-side with colleagues in R&D, Regulatory Affairs, Quality, HR, Finance, and Commercial to deliver clear, actionable guidance.
  • Be a Trusted Advisor: Foster trust at every level of the organization, championing ethical business practices and sound judgment.

What You’ll Bring

  • JD (or equivalent) with active bar membership in good standing.
  • 10+ years of legal experience in biotech, pharma, or life sciences (in-house or at a top firm advising clients in these sectors).
  • Deep knowledge of the regulations shaping the biotechnology industry.
  • Proven success drafting and negotiating complex agreements.
  • Familiarity with global privacy frameworks (e.g., GDPR).
  • A reputation for providing clear, business-oriented legal counsel in fast-moving environments.
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills—you can talk science with scientists, strategy with executives, and compliance with employees.
  • Impeccable ethics, attention to detail, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing focus.

Why Join Us?

This isn’t just another legal role. It’s a chance to help shape a high-growth biotech company as it brings life-changing medicines to market. You’ll work with passionate, driven colleagues in a collaborative environment where your voice matters and your work has a direct impact on patients’ lives.
