Description
This is a full-time U.S. remote or hybrid position based in South Florida.
MASA is looking for an experienced contracts attorney to lead its contracting function from the ground up: owning everything from intake and negotiation to templates, training, and reporting. If you love the mix of hands-on drafting and building the systems that make a legal department run smoothly, this role offers real autonomy and a direct line to the General Counsel.
About Us
MASA has been a leader in emergency medical transportation insurance since 1974. We're not just a company – we're a close-knit team dedicated to "Protecting families with compassion when others don't." Our professional yet friendly company culture fosters collaboration, innovation, and a clear mission that resonates through every role as we support our expanding base of 2+ million members across the United States and the Caribbean.

What You Will Do
Reporting to our General Counsel as Counsel, Contracts & Legal Operations, you will:
- Own the full agreement lifecycle: drafting, negotiating, and managing vendor, technology/SaaS, data-processing, licensing, provider/network, consulting, and marketing agreements from intake through signature, repository, and renewal.
- Bring deep healthcare and insurance expertise: advising on HIPAA, Business Associate Agreements, protected health information, privacy, and data security across the contract portfolio.
- Lead risk escalation and executive decision support: translating contract terms into business exposure, preparing risk analyses and Executive Summaries, and routing matters to the right reviewers and signers.
- Build and continuously improve the contracting function: administering intake, triage, templates, playbooks, dashboards, and self-service tools that make compliant contracting easy across MASA.
- Train stakeholders and report on performance: leading training on the Contract Review Management SOP and delivering monthly KPI reporting to the General Counsel on contract, IP, and marketing review activity.
- Serve as a strategic partner and cross-functional connector: collaborating with Finance, Procurement, Information Security, Privacy, Compliance, and HR; supporting IP and marketing review; and managing outside counsel when needed.
What You Bring
- J.D. from an accredited law school and active, good-standing bar membership (Florida Bar or eligibility for admission preferred).
- At least 3-5 years of progressively responsible legal experience, with substantial in-house responsibility for commercial contracts.
- Demonstrated healthcare and/or insurance experience, including negotiating Business Associate Agreements and advising on HIPAA, privacy, and security requirements.
- A strong track record of independently drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements and explaining risk to senior stakeholders.
- Experience improving a contract-review or lifecycle process through AI, templates, playbooks, or workflow technology, plus hands-on use of AI-enabled legal tools with disciplined validation.
- Sound judgment and the ability to work autonomously in a lean legal department; experience with CLM systems, DocuSign workflows, IP portfolio work, or marketing/insurance review is a plus.
What We Will Provide You
- Competitive base salary, bonuses, and comprehensive employee benefits programs, including medical, dental, and vision insurance with highly rated carriers; a 401(k) program with a company match; paid time off; company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and basic life insurance; and a free MASA membership.
- A professional and friendly company culture that supports a clear mission: "Protecting families with compassion when others don’t."
- A senior, high-trust seat in a small legal department, with the autonomy to build and modernize the contracting function and direct visibility to the General Counsel and executive leadership.
Why We Think You’ll Love This Opportunity
This isn't a role where you'll just process contracts. You will design how MASA contracts, from the tools to the training to the metrics that prove it's working. You'll move fluidly between hands-on negotiation and enterprise-level strategy, with a real say in how AI and technology shape the future of the department. And you'll do it as a trusted partner to the General Counsel, not a cog in a bigger machine.
