Legal Counsel, Product

Role Overview

• As Legal Counsel Product, you will be the legal partner embedded in our product and engineering organisation, making sure our platform is built on a globally sound legal foundation, and that it can scale compliantly across every market we operate in.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to design compliant SaaS, subscription, and platform models, identifying the legal requirements that need to be built in from the start.
• Define how regulatory and compliance risks are allocated across product tiers, ensuring the platform can grow without accumulating unmanaged legal exposure.
• Identify legal and regulatory challenges early in the product development cycle and build preventive frameworks, so issues are addressed before they become blockers.
• Provide practical legal guidance on healthcare regulatory matters across our markets, covering MDR, GDPR, NHS frameworks, HIPAA, and jurisdiction-specific requirements wherever we operate.
• Translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable product requirements that engineering and product teams can work with directly.
• Work with Privacy & Contracting Counsel to ensure platform regulatory requirements across all markets are embedded in templates and playbooks, enabling consistent and efficient execution globally.
• Contribute to maintaining the company’s AI governance framework, including policies, risk assessments, and regulatory monitoring under the EU AI Act and related regulations.
• Partner with product, data, and compliance colleagues to ensure AI systems are ethical, legally sound, and meet applicable healthcare regulatory standards.
• Support the adoption of AI across business functions in a way that is transparent, compliant, and enables rather than constrains innovation.
• Act as the primary legal partner for product, compliance, and commercial teams on day-to-day matters, embedded in their workflows and accessible, not a distant advisory function.
• Contribute to a consistent legal platform across all markets, ensuring alignment between jurisdictions as the business scales.

Requirements

• A qualified lawyer in the EU or UK, with a solid grounding in EU and/or UK healthcare and digital health regulations.
• +5 years’ post-qualification experience, ideally in healthtech, medtech, or SaaS, with meaningful in-house or cross-functional exposure.
• Demonstrated experience supporting product development, with the ability to add legal value without creating process friction.
• Working knowledge of healthcare laws and risk allocation in regulated industries across multiple jurisdictions, MDR/IVDR, GDPR, the EU AI Act, NHS-related frameworks, and beyond.
• A collaborative working style, comfortable in cross-functional environments, able to build trust quickly with non-legal stakeholders across product, engineering, and commercial.
• Familiarity balancing healthcare regulations with SaaS and platform risk allocation, with an understanding of how both sides of that equation work in practice.
• Strong ability to translate complex regulation into clear, actionable guidance that product and engineering teams can work with directly.
• Familiarity with clinical trial regulations or computer systems validation (CSV) is a meaningful plus.
