A bit more about this role:

Working under the direction of the Company’s legal team, this Paralegal will lead and support a broad range of contracting matters that are critical to the Company’s growth across markets, products, and service offerings. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for vendors and participating providers, with a particular focus on agreements that support the Company’s Medicare Advantage and Commercial operations, while also supporting the Company’s medical groups and internal operational teams. This position will also be responsible for assistance in developing contract playbooks and contract workflow processes.

Our Paralegal position requires a hybrid of legal, analytical, business, and project-management skills, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating provider and vendor agreements; managing contract intake, workflow, and approvals; maintaining contract templates and playbooks; tracking key terms, obligations, and renewals; supporting risk-bearing and value-based arrangements; and partnering closely with business stakeholders to bring agreements to signature efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Your Responsibilities and Impact will include:

• Draft, review, negotiate, and manage a high volume of vendor and participating provider agreements, including amendments, statements of work, and ancillary documents, on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries.

• Support the structuring, drafting, and administration of risk-bearing and value-based provider arrangements, including capitation, shared-savings, and other risk-sharing agreements, in coordination with attorneys and business leaders.
• Develop, maintain, and improve contract templates, playbooks, fallback positions, and standard operating procedures to drive consistency, efficiency, and regulatory compliance across contracting activities.
• Routinely collaborate with key business segments—including network, finance, compliance, and operations—to support the Company’s strategic initiatives and to provide general contracting guidance.
• Work with in-house attorneys, other paralegals and contracts professionals, and outside counsel when necessary.

Required skills and experience:

• Ability to work in a startup fast-paced environment, independently as well as collaboratively and operating under tight deadlines
• Bachelor’s degree; paralegal studies degree, paralegal certificate, or comparable contracts or legal training a plus
• Minimum 5 years of experience managing, drafting, and negotiating commercial, vendor, and/or provider contracts in a corporate legal, contracting, or compliance department, or at a law firm
• Demonstrated experience drafting and negotiating provider and vendor agreements
• Experience working within a contract management system and managing contract workflows, key-term tracking, and reporting. Experience with IronClad preferred.
• Effective interpersonal and team communication skills
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and writing skills
• Proven organizational and project-management skills, as well as flexibility, and ability to manage multiple or competing priorities within designated time frames and adjust priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Must be passionate about contributing to an organization focused on continuously improving member experience

Desired skills and experience:

Candidates with direct experience in health care or insurance contracting (in particular Commercial lines, Medicare and Medicaid) will be given preference. Experience with risk-bearing, capitation, or other value-based provider arrangements is strongly preferred.
