Altera Digital Health
Legal Counsel (Commercial & Tech)
At Altera Digital Health we develop the tech that helps hospitals and clinicians provide better patient care. But we dont do it alone. We are part of Harris a global powerhouse that acquires and grows software companies across the world.
Were looking for a Solicitor who wants more variety than a standard in-house role. This position is a 50/50 split between Altera Digital Health and our parent company Harris.
This isnt a one-dimensional role. Youll spend your time navigating the specific legal nuances of digital healthcare with one team while supporting the broader Harris portfolio on high-level commercial deals and group-wide initiatives with the other.
What your day-to-day actually looks like:
The Altera Side (50%): Youll be the go-to for our UK and International teams. Youll negotiate the SaaS licenses and vendor deals that keep digital healthcare moving.
The Harris Side (50%): Youll plug into the wider Harris legal network tackling group-level projects M&A due diligence and commercial contracts across a massive range of software businesses.
Being the Go-To: In both roles you arent just a checker of documents. Youre a pragmatic advisor helping Sales and Product teams figure out how to get deals over the line safely.
Spotting the Icebergs: Youll find and fix legal risks before they become headaches providing clear human-readable advice to people who dont speak legalese.
Who you are:
Youre a Qualified Solicitor (England & Wales) with a solid foundation in commercial or corporate law.
Youre a pragmatist. You know how to find a middle ground that protects the business without killing the deal.
You can explain complex legal points to a Sales Manager in a way that makes sense.
If you have experience in Health-Tech or SaaS thats great but were really looking for a sharp adaptable commercial mind who can handle the variety of a dual-company role.
