Frontera exists to close the care gap: every child, no matter where they live, should be able to access effective behavioral healthcare.</p></div><p><b><br>
About the Role</b><br>
Frontera is looking for our first in-house attorney &mdash; a Head of Legal who's excited to roll up their sleeves, own the full spectrum of legal and regulatory work, and help us grow responsibly.</p>
<p>
This is not a &quot;keep the trains running&quot; legal job. You'll be sitting at the table with our CEO and leadership team, weighing in on major business decisions, helping us navigate healthcare regulations, and shaping how we work with partners, payers, and families. You'll balance protecting the company with enabling innovation, and you'll be the person we turn to on everything from contracts and compliance to data privacy and acquisitions.</p>
<p>
If you thrive in environments where the playbook isn't written yet, and you want to build the legal function inside a fast-moving healthcare technology company, this role is for you.</p>

<ul>
<li><b>Be the legal function.</b> You'll own all things legal, regulatory, and risk-related at Frontera.</li>

<li><b>Protect data and privacy.</b> Oversee policies and practices for HIPAA, GDPR, and other data protection frameworks.</li>
<li><b>Partner cross-functionally.</b> Work side-by-side with product, operations, finance, and clinical teams to make sure we're innovating responsibly.</li>
<li><b>Manage outside counsel smartly.</b> Bring in specialized expertise when needed, but keep ownership in-house.</li>
<li><b>Stay ahead of the curve.</b> Track legal trends in healthcare, tech, and AI, and translate them into proactive strategies.</li><br>
</ul>
<p><b>What Makes You a Great Fit</b></p>
<ul>
<li>J.D. and active bar membership.</li>
<li>8&ndash;12 years of legal experience, ideally a mix of law firm and in-house, with deep exposure to healthcare or healthtech.</li>
<li>Strong foundation in healthcare regulations (HIPAA, CMS, Medicaid/Medicare, state rules).</li>
<li>Experience handling a broad mix of legal issues &mdash; M&amp;A, corporate governance, contracts, privacy/security, employment.</li>
<li>Comfortable being the sole in-house lawyer; you like ownership and can toggle between strategic advice and hands-on execution.</li>
<li>Clear, pragmatic communicator who can make legal issues understandable and actionable.</li>
<li>Excited by the challenge of building in a high-growth environment.</li>
<li>Bonus: familiarity with the use of AI in healthcare.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Why Join Frontera Health:</b></p><br>
<p>
At Frontera, we're on a mission to reimagine how families access autism and behavioral health services. As our first in-house counsel, you'll shape not just our legal framework, but how we grow as a company.</p>
<p>
You'll have a seat at the table, work with a sharp and motivated leadership team, and be trusted with meaningful ownership from day one.
