Apply for In-house Legal Counsel at Med Me Health in Toronto, ON, CA. This Full time on site position offers great opportunities for career growth.
The Opportunity Med Me is hiring its first dedicated in-house counsel to support our Canadian and US business. You'll sit at the centre of Med Me's enterprise commercial work, negotiating with the legal teams of some of the largest retail pharmacy and grocery chains in North America. You'll own Med Me's privacy and AI risk posture across HIPAA in the US, PIPEDA and provincial health privacy legislation in Canada, and a growing patchwork of US state privacy law. And you'll handle the corporate work of a two-entity, venture-backed company: financings, board matters, intercompany structure, equity. You'll also be the first call on employment law as the team continues to grow in both markets. This is a generalist seat by design. You'll triage broadly, build Med Me's first legal playbooks and templates, and know when something is genuinely outside your depth and needs outside counsel or specialist advice.
About Med Me Health At Med Me, we are passionate about empowering pharmacists to provide services beyond just prescribing. Our mission is to build an all-in-one cloud-based platform that enables pharmacists to schedule, document, and manage clinical services at scale. With over 4,500 pharmacies using our software, we've facilitated more than 25 million patient services, transforming pharmacies into community health hubs across North America.
What You'll Do Own contract review, redlines, and negotiation. Across Med Me's Canadian and US commercial agreements, enterprise Saa S contracts, vendor agreements, and partnership terms. Support corporate matters. Governance, entity structure, and other company-level legal needs as Med Me scales across two countries.
Manage cross-border complexity. Know when a Canadian answer doesn't automatically apply in the US (and vice versa), and know when to bring in outside counsel. Support HR on employee-related legal matters. Partner with People & Culture on employment law questions and other internal employee legal complexity as it comes up, flagging when outside employment counsel is needed. Strengthen the legal function's first playbooks and templates. So contract review and legal triage don't depend entirely on you being in the room every time.
About You ~3 years of associate experience, ideally with exposure to commercial/contract law, corporate matters, healthcare, technology/AI, and privacy/data. Cross-border experience with meaningful exposure to both legal systems. Comfortable being the only lawyer in the building: you triage broadly rather than specializing narrowly, and you know when to bring in outside counsel. Strong contract negotiation skills, you've actually negotiated commercial agreements, not just reviewed them. Clear communicator who can translate legal risk into plain language for non-legal stakeholders. Comfortable in ambiguity and early-stage structure, this is Med Me's first dedicated legal hire, so you'll be building the process as you go.
Nice to Have Experience in a regulated healthcare, pharmacy, or clinical-adjacent business
Experience advising on AI/technology product questions
Prior in-house experience at a growth-stage Saa S company
Success in This Role Looks Like 30 days: You're reviewing and redlining live contracts independently across both the Canadian and US book, and you know Med Me's core commercial terms cold.
60 days: You've worked through Med Me's existing contract templates and playbooks, updated where they've fallen behind the business, and filled the gaps, cutting the back-and-forth on standard terms.
90 days: You're the default first call on healthcare, privacy, and data questions across the business, and leadership isn't going to outside counsel for things you can handle.
Long-term: You've built a legal function that scales with the business, clear ownership of contracts, privacy, and corporate matters across both markets, with outside counsel used only where it's genuinely needed.
