Deputy General Counsel, Product
About Hello Heart:
Hello Heart is on a mission to make heart attacks a thing of the past.
We’re an AI company focused exclusively on heart health, building a platform that predicts and prevents cardiac events before they happen—identifying risk up to 10 days in advance versus 10 years in traditional clinical models.
This is already working at scale. Hello Heart has been shown to reduce inpatient hospital days by 47% and deliver ~$1,800 in annual savings per member. Hello Heart is the cardiac prevention partner to over 80% of large U.S. health plans and serves hundreds of public and private employers.
We’re defining how the #1 cause of death—heart disease—is managed in the AI era. Join us.

Experience advising on product development, regulatory submissions, or technology-related legal matters of varying complexity.
Experience with Food and Drug Administration-regulated software, Software as a Medical Device, or digital health products strongly preferred.
