About the role
Verse Medical is hiring its first General Counsel to build and lead in-house legal and regulatory functions for a fast-growing healthcare tech company.
Responsibilities
- Regulatory & Healthcare Compliance: Direct multi-state healthcare regulatory strategy, overseeing DME licensure, accreditation, and compliance across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer frameworks.
- Commercial & Payer Contracting: Lead the structuring, negotiation, and execution of enterprise agreements with health systems and strategic partners.
- Audit & Risk Mitigation: Manage payer audits, prepayment reviews, and risk management protocols across revenue cycle and clinical operations.
- Product & Operational Counsel: Partner with Product, Engineering, and Clinical teams to ensure regulatory alignment before launching new service lines and software workflows.
- Department Buildout: Act as a sole practitioner in year one, handling primary legal execution directly, while architecting the long-term legal and compliance infrastructure.
Qualifications
- JD and active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (NY admission or eligibility for in-house registration)
- 10+ years of legal experience, with substantial time spent on healthcare regulatory matters
- Top decile attention to detail. Your work product is frequently flawless and “ready to ship” once you are done with it, you’ll act as the “quality check” for all of our compliance related activities.
- Demonstrated depth in federal healthcare fraud and abuse law, applied to real commercial structures you helped design or defend, not just issue-spotted
- Hands-on experience with Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement, coverage and payment: documentation and medical necessity standards, claims denials, and the audit and appeals process
- Commercial contracting range: you have owned payer, provider or enterprise agreements end to end, and you can tell us which terms you fight for and which you trade
- Comfort operating as the only lawyer in the building: you do the work, you make the call, and you are accountable for it
- Track record of giving business-forward advice under uncertainty.
- Willingness to work in a fast, sometimes chaotic environment where the answer often does not exist yet

About Verse Medical
Software platform for in-home healthcare
As healthcare costs have increased, the patient's home has become incredibly important as a site of care. Yet, patients recovering at home are highly underserved. Patients can only get better at home if they receive the high-quality care that they need reliably. The existing in-home care process involves patchwork of different vendors, all connected through faxes by nurses. We're building modern, robust software that solves this challenge and brings this market online.
