Associate Counsel (Remote)

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. 

We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.

We are hiring Associate Counsel to be a critical member of a growing Legal and Compliance team at Rula Health. The Associate Counsel will report to Rula’s General Counsel and work closely with the Head of Legal and Rula’s Compliance Officer on a variety of topics, helping to navigate complex and challenging issues.  Associate Counsel will provide interpretive guidance necessary for the rapidly expanding business, and will also be responsible for taking the lead on payor/partnership contract negotiations and assisting with other fast-paced legal initiatives. This person will apply their knowledge of the healthcare industry as well as their strong ability to communicate, issue spot and problem solve with the goal of making mental healthcare work for everyone.
