Commercial Contracts Counsel

MyOme’s mission is to provide clinically actionable genetic information to patients throughout their lives. We combine clinical-grade whole genome sequencing, advanced AI methods for genome interpretation, and seamless digital tools for doctors and patients to order and access results. Our team is composed of seasoned entrepreneurs, scientists, and operators, and we're backed by top-tier investors.

Position Overview:

We're adding our first dedicated contracts and commercial legal resource, reporting into the SVP of Corporate Operations (GC). This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role for someone who is energized by being a true business partner — not just a reviewer. You'll manage the full lifecycle of our commercial, vendor, and partner agreements, and help build the legal infrastructure that will support MyOme as we scale. You'll work closely with our Corporate Operations Manager (Sr. Corporate Paralegal), collaborating as a tight-knit legal function embedded in the business.

This role offers genuine room to grow. As MyOme expands, so does the scope of this position.

What You'll Do:

Draft, review, negotiate, and manage a broad range of commercial agreements including customer contracts, vendor agreements, MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, data use agreements, and partnership/licensing deals

Serve as the primary point of contact for contract-related matters across commercial, R&D, and operations teams

Maintain and continuously improve our contract templates, playbooks, and approval workflows

Advise business stakeholders on contract risk, obligations, and compliance in plain language

Support due diligence and legal review for business development and partnership opportunities

Coordinate with outside counsel as needed on complex or specialized matters

Ensure contracts are properly executed, stored, and tracked through their lifecycle

Contribute to the development of internal legal policies and procedures as the company grows

What You'll Ne ed:

J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. state

Bar admission in California required; candidates currently admitted in another state who are eligible to waive into the California Bar are welcome to apply

Minimum seven (7) years out of law school, with meaningful in-house experience required — prior law firm background is a plus but in-house exposure is essential

Experience in life sciences, genomics, digital health, or healthcare technology is strongly preferred

Experience using AI to augment legal reviews, processes, and contracts management

Demonstrated experience drafting and negotiating commercial contracts independently

Exceptional attention to detail — you catch things others miss, and you care about getting it right

Ability to communicate legal concepts clearly and pragmatically to non-legal stakeholders

Comfortable operating with autonomy in a lean, fast-paced environment

Familiarity with data privacy considerations (HIPAA, state privacy laws) is a plus

Experience with contract lifecycle management tools is a plus
