Junior Counsel - Generalist
Bask Health · New York, United States · Full-time · Posted 2026-09-01
Workplace: on_site
Description
About the Role
Bask is looking for a curious, business-minded attorney to join our team and help navigate the evolving landscape of DTC telehealth and B2B healthtech software. You will support the General Counsel by handling general legal work and company-wide compliance matters, including the development of legal and risk management strategies. This is a highly cross-functional role where you’ll work closely with leadership across product, operations, human resources and compliance to support and scale a fast-growing platform. This position requires a strong blend of legal and business acumen to balance competing priorities.
You’ll be deeply embedded in the business — advising on real-time decisions, translating complex regulations into practical guidance, and helping ensure we build quickly and responsibly. If you enjoy solving complex problems, thinking beyond the textbook, and working alongside operators, this role is for you.
At Bask Health, every role is AI-first. Work starts in an LLM to clarify intent and context, moves into the right tools to explore and execute, is tested with real users and stakeholders, and is continuously refined as we learn. AI and self-serve research are default parts of how we work, not side experiments.
We are looking for people who take full ownership of their work, treat AI as a real collaborator, and care deeply about building a company that meaningfully improves how healthcare is delivered.
