Senior Associate General Counsel

Senior Associate General Counsel

Shape the legal strategy behind one of New York's leading academic health systems.

If you're looking for a role where your legal expertise is respected, your voice is heard and your work truly matters, we'd love to meet you. At the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), you'll serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, partnering across one of the largest health systems in Hudson Valley. From complex business transactions and employment matters to regulatory guidance and corporate strategy, your work will directly influence decisions that impact patients, caregivers and the future of healthcare.

You’ll work alongside senior leaders, physicians, Human Resources, Compliance, Risk Management and other key stakeholders to navigate complex legal challenges while helping the organization achieve its strategic goals.

In this role, you will:

• Serve as legal counsel on complex healthcare, corporate and employment law matters
• Draft, review and negotiate a wide variety of contracts and legal agreements
• Advise leadership on business transactions, regulatory compliance and organizational risk
• Partner with Human Resources on employee relations, workplace investigations, accommodations and labor matters
• Research and interpret healthcare laws, regulations and public benefit corporation requirements
• Collaborate with Compliance, Purchasing and Risk Management teams
• Provide practical, business-focused legal guidance that supports informed decision-making
• May provide leadership and oversight for legal staff and special projects

This is far more than a traditional in-house counsel position. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Influence high-level strategic decisions across a major academic health system
• Work on sophisticated legal matters that span healthcare operations, employment, governance and complex business transactions
• Partner directly with executive leadership across a large, mission-driven organization
• Join a collaborative legal team that values thoughtful counsel and practical solutions
• Build a career where your work improves healthcare for the communities WMCHealth serves

Ideal candidates will be experienced attorneys who enjoy solving complex problems, balancing legal risk with business objectives and building trusted relationships across an organization. Ideal candidates bring:

• Significant experience practicing healthcare, corporate or employment law
• Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills
• Excellent judgment, communication and relationship-building abilities
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• A collaborative mindset with a strategic, solutions-oriented approach
• Experience advising senior leaders on complex legal and regulatory matters

Healthcare is constantly evolving, and so are the legal challenges that shape it. At WMCHealth, you’ll play an essential role in helping one of New York's premier health systems navigate what's next while protecting its mission, its people and the patients who rely on it.
