Heidi Health is seeking a pragmatic and commercially minded Legal Counsel with at least 3 years’ post qualification experience in Australia. You will join our growing legal and compliance team to provide practical, solutions-oriented advice as we navigate complex regulatory and commercial landscapes in healthtech.

What You'll Do

Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements including SaaS terms, healthcare provider contracts, data processing agreements, and technology partnerships.
Provide clear, practical legal advice that balances organisational risk with operational realities.
Work across a breadth of legal areas – including technology, privacy, health law, employment/HR, leasing, and commercial – and switch between them with ease.
Support product development and regulatory strategy in areas involving AI, large language models (LLMs), and generative AI (with training and support provided).
Partner with engineering and product teams to understand technical concepts and translate them into legal and governance implications.
Assist with global expansion by navigating jurisdiction-specific legal, compliance, and health regulatory requirements.
Lead or contribute to DPIAs, PIAs, risk assessments, and regulatory submissions.
Support certification efforts (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC2, Cyber Essentials+) and respond to due diligence and security reviews.
Draft and maintain internal policies, contribute to governance processes, and support internal training.
Support fundraising and investor-related activities, including preparing and managing data rooms, coordinating legal workstreams for capital raises, and liaising with investors.
Represent Heidi at conferences, panels, and external events where legal, regulatory, or governance expertise is required.
Manage external legal counsel as required.
Mentor and guide junior team members on legal concepts, workflows, and professional development.

What We're Looking For

A qualified lawyer (Australia) with at least 3 years’ post qualification experience.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and able to produce advice that is both legally sound and highly practical.
Pragmatic and able to focus on what matters, without getting bogged down in minute details that don’t impact risk.
Technically curious and able to learn new systems and tools quickly.
Able to context switch efficiently across diverse legal areas – from commercial contracting to health regulation, HR/employment issues, privacy, venture capital, leasing, and technology matters.
An exceptional communicator who can translate complexity into clear, concise, and business friendly guidance.

Ideally from a medical, technology, digital health, or fast growth company.
Interested in or willing to upskill in understanding advanced technical concepts such as LLMs, generative AI, and cloud based architectures.
