Re‑architecting U.S. healthcare demands speed, precision, and an obsession with details. Cadence is building a remote care delivery system that keeps older people healthy, out of the hospital, and at home. By pairing each patient with a dedicated clinical team that reviews their health every day, versus every few months, we catch issues early and intervene before they escalate. The result: measurably better outcomes for patients and less administrative burden for clinicians.

Today, Cadence supports tens of thousands of  active patients nationwide. Our AI‑powered system and scalable clinical model enable proactive, population‑level care. We’re among the fastest‑growing companies in healthtech, and we’re just getting started.

Cadence’s 2025 Outcomes Report highlights a breakthrough year in proactive care, with 74,000 patients supported, more than 84,000 clinician hours saved, and industry-leading improvements in clinical outcomes and system efficiency. Our engineering and clinical teams played a central role in delivering this scale and impact. Read the full report here. 

The Role

We're hiring a Commercial Contracts Attorney to manage and scale Cadence's contracting function across our health system partnerships and vendor relationships, ensuring our agreements support rapid growth while maintaining compliance with healthcare regulatory requirements.

This is a mission-critical role at the intersection of legal strategy and healthcare operations. You'll collaborate across sales, partnerships, clinical, finance, security, compliance, and operations teams to deliver work that directly enables Cadence to expand access to proactive, tech-enabled care for patients with chronic conditions.

What You’ll Do

Own the full lifecycle of commercial contracts, including drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and closing agreements with health systems and other partners.
Manage all vendor contracts and third-party relationships, including negotiating and reviewing SaaS agreements, service contracts, licensing agreements, data processing agreements, and other procurement-related contracts.
Collaborate with finance, security, and compliance to evaluate and enable vendor relationships, ensuring third parties meet Cadence's operational, regulatory, and information security standards.
Develop and maintain contracting playbooks and templates that enable the sales and procurement teams to move quickly while protecting Cadence's interests.
Manage the existing contract portfolio, including amendments, renewals, and partner and vendor inquiries, ensuring obligations are tracked and met.
Advise internal stakeholders on healthcare regulatory considerations in deal structures, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, Civil Monetary Penalties, and state licensure requirements.
Collaborate with sales, partnerships, finance, and clinical operations to structure deals that align with Cadence's service lines and Medicare reimbursement frameworks.

What You’ll Need

A commercial attorney with healthcare experience who thrives in high-velocity, mission-driven environments and is comfortable owning the contracting function with minimal oversight.
5+ years of experience handling commercial contracts in-house and/or at a law firm, with a strong preference for experience in healthcare or life sciences. Experience on both the sell-side (customer/partner agreements) and buy-side (vendor/procurement contracts) is preferred.
Working knowledge of federal and state healthcare regulations, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, Civil Monetary Penalties Law, and clinical licensure and scope-of-practice requirements. Experience with HIPAA and privacy law is a plus. Experience contracting with payers is a plus.
Experience building or improving contracting processes, including playbooks, clause libraries, or template suites that support a scaling organization.
JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
Biased toward action: you move fast, raise standards, and own results.

WHO WE ARE:

We move fast, raise standards, and own outcomes. We hire drivers, not passengers – people who take initiative, solve problems, and sweat the details because lives depend on it. Momentum matters in healthcare where slow decisions cost lives. At Cadence, we set a high bar and back each other relentlessly to clear it. If you’re ready to do the best work of your career and make a real impact in healthcare, join us.

WHAT YOU’LL GET:

Autonomy to tackle big, complex problems that matter
