Associate General Counsel

Job description

The Clover legal team is a small and nimble group that takes on novel issues that require creative solutions. You are joining a smart and scrappy group of in-house lawyers with whom you will proactively address legal matters that challenge you to think differently. As a key member of the team, you will work closely with the company’s business leaders to anticipate and develop legal solutions.

We’re seeking an Associate General Counsel to serve as Clover’s Privacy Officer, leading our privacy program and supporting a robust Corporate Compliance Program. You will be the primary counsel for health privacy, interoperability, information blocking, data security, and related matters. This role also supports public policy and government affairs initiatives and partners with HR on employment issues. As part of our small, dynamic legal team, you’ll handle general legal matters, build new competencies, and work across a wide range of strategic functions. We’re looking for a collaborative, adaptable attorney eager to learn and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

As Associate General Counsel, you will:

• Lead a strategic, company-wide privacy program—developing policies, processes, and training that protect PHI and ensure compliance with HIPAA and other privacy, cybersecurity, interoperability, and information-blocking laws.
• Manage breach assessment and notification processes, and serve as a key legal resource for privacy and data security matters across all departments and new ventures.
• Partner with Human Resources on employment law issues, including employee relations, policy development, workplace investigations, and compliance.
• Support corporate compliance efforts, internal investigations, and the development of policies, procedures, and governance documents.
• Monitor and influence federal and state legislative and administrative activities, engaging in public policy advocacy and building relationships with government officials to advance company goals.
• Take on additional legal matters as needed, including research, regulatory filings, and support for strategic initiatives.

Success in this role looks like:

• Implements and maintains a robust, company-wide privacy program that meets or exceeds HIPAA and other applicable privacy, cybersecurity, and interoperability requirements, with no significant compliance gaps identified in internal or external audits.
• Serves as a trusted, responsive legal partner to HR, Compliance, and business leaders, delivering timely, practical guidance that effectively mitigates legal and regulatory risk while enabling strategic objectives.
• Proactively monitors and engages in legislative and regulatory developments, influencing outcomes or preparing the organization for changes in laws and regulations that affect operations and strategy.
• Manages breach responses, investigations, and other high-risk matters efficiently, resolving issues with minimal business disruption and measurable reduction in legal exposure over time.

You should get in touch if:

• You have a J.D. from an accredited law school, corporate legal experience, and healthcare expertise, including federal and state privacy laws (HIPAA required; anti-kickback rules, False Claims Act, CMS requirements, and Medicare Advantage knowledge a plus).
• You bring experience in internal investigations, employment law, and partnering with HR on policy, employee relations, and compliance matters.
• You are familiar with the legislative and regulatory process, with government affairs or public policy advocacy experience strongly preferred.
• You excel at collaborating with diverse stakeholders and have strong negotiation, drafting, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• You are open to a remote role with minimal travel.
