About Us

Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.

Red Cell is hiring a mission-driven   Deputy General   Counsel: Healthcare   to   lead legal   work   across ou r healthcare   portfolio. This is   a   high- autonomy seat, reporting directly to the General Counsel, and working alongside and in coordination with other internal teams and outside advisor s.    At Red Cell, we build and invest in companies tackling some of the most   challengingproblems in healthcare, cyber, and national security. You’ll help make that possible by   leading the   regulatory, privacy, and commercial   legal work that   let s our healthcare companies   move fast without getting it wrong .      

Y ou’ll   report   directly   to our G eneral Counsel   and   lead the legal work for   our healthcare companies, with   ownership across   almost everything we do.   You might   work through   the   HIPAA and data-flow analysis   for a new   product   one day, negotiate a BAA or a key commercial agreement for a n incubated   company the next, and   pressure-test   a   referral   or   compensation arrangement against   the   Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark the   week after.  You’ll   own the healthcare regulatory and privacy questions across the portfolio — HIPAA and state health privacy laws, BAAs and health data use, fraud and abuse (Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark, beneficiary inducement), telehealth and licensure — alongside the commercial contracting and corporate work that comes with building early-stage companies .  You’ll work at every level, from engineers to C-suite leaders, and own the legal outcomes for our mission-critical healthcare companies.

We work   hard and   believe in what we’re building.  And we take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We treat each other with respect (even when things get stressful—which they will!), and we have zero tolerance for arrogance or unkindness. Hard work, high standards, and good humor are the foundation of everything we do.   You’ll also get access and exposure to the leading edge of AI:   from our incubations creating new tools and functionality to our internal teams using the latest   technology   to learn better and more effective ways of working.  

We’re most excited about candidates w ho built their practice at a strong   firm , took that experience   in-house , have depth in   healthcare , and have led other lawyers along the way .
