About the role
- Machinify has a Chief Privacy Officer and a compliance function that set our privacy, security, and regulatory positions.
- It is the person who turns their guidance into contract language that holds up at the negotiating table - and who brings real deal friction back to them so the standard can be adjusted with full information.
- This is a hands-on drafting and negotiating job.
Responsibilities
- Own the AI provisions in customer, partner, and vendor agreements - training and improvement rights, de-identification and aggregation, model and output ownership, human oversight, performance and accuracy commitments, transparency and explainability obligations, and allocation of AI-specific risk.
- Draft and maintain the company's standard AI contract language and the fallback positions behind it, so deal teams know what is standard, what is negotiable, and what requires escalation.
- Advise product and engineering on new AI features before launch - what the contracts permit, what the contracts would need to say, and where a design choice creates a legal constraint.
Requirements
- 8+ years of commercial contracting experience at a law firm, in-house, or both, including substantial time in-house.
- Substantive IP experience in a software or data context: licensing, ownership structuring, and open source.
- A track record working directly with Sales or Client Success teams, including client-facing negotiation and explaining legal positions to non-lawyers.
- Comfort operating inside someone else's guardrails - executing the privacy and compliance standard the CPO sets, and escalating rather than improvising when a deal pushes past it.
- Familiarity with emerging AI governance frameworks and how they land in a regulated industry.
- We participate in E-Verify as required by applicable law.
- Required
- JD from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing in at least one U.S. state bar.
- Demonstrated ownership of AI and data rights provisions in commercial agreements - training rights, model and output ownership, data use limitations - not just familiarity with the topic.
- Working command of HIPAA and health data privacy, including BAAs, de-identification standards, and PHI handling in a vendor or business associate posture - enough to negotiate it, as distinct from running a privacy program.
- Healthcare industry experience - payer, payment integrity, health tech, provider, or a closely related setting.
- The judgment to advise a fast-moving business on unsettled questions without either blocking the deal or waving it through.
- Preferred
- Experience selling into or buying from health plans, and familiarity with payer procurement and security review processes.
- Exposure to government healthcare contracting (CMS, state Medicaid, or federal subcontracts) and the flow-down terms that come with it.
- Experience building contract templates, playbooks, or a deal desk from an unstructured starting point.
Compensation
- $225,000 - $250,000 + Annual Bonus
- In accordance with applicable state laws, we do not inquire about salary history during the recruitment process.
- Competitive salary, 401(k) with company match
- The salary for this position is based on an array of factors unique to each candidate: Such as years and depth of experience, set skills, certifications, etc.
