About the Role:

Hims & Hers is seeking an enterprising, dynamic and highly self-sufficient Counsel, International to join our fast-paced International Legal team.

In this role, you will be a key player supporting our European footprint with a primary focus on Germany, while also driving expansion into new European markets through our international launch function. Operating at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and e-commerce, you will tackle novel legal questions, bring clarity to complex regulatory frameworks, and partner closely with business leaders to build compliant, high-growth healthcare experiences across Europe.

You will be a central operational driver for our German and pan-European commercial, telehealth, and pharmacy strategy.

You Will:

• Support German Operations: Serve as a key legal advisor on day-to-day matters across Germany advising on healthcare and pharmacy regulations, e-commerce compliance, digital health, and marketing.

• First-Principles Problem Solving: Untangle complex, novel, or undefined regulatory challenges where traditional precedents don't exist. You will help build legal frameworks using first principles rather than off-the-shelf templates.

• Deliver Actionable, Concise Advice: Cut through ambiguity and synthesise complex legal risks into clear, commercially pragmatic guidance. Your advice will be direct, risk-calibrated, and focused on business value.

• Navigate Pharmacy & Healthcare Regs: Advise cross-functional teams on German, Dutch, and cross-European pharmacy regulations, telemedicine rules, prescribing workflows, healthcare compliance and privacy. Particular focus on Germany’s AMG and HWG.

• Commercial Risk & Disputes: Mitigate commercial risk, negotiate key partner/vendor agreements, and assist with advertising and competition matters (including Germany’s unfair competition / UWG litigation environment).

• Drive Market Expansion & Growth: Partner with the international launch team to scale existing operations and launch Hims & Hers into new European markets, navigating local regulatory, legal, and operational landscapes from scratch.

Who You Are:

• Qualified Attorney: Admitted to practice in the UK, Germany, or Ireland (other EU jurisdictions considered by exception) with ~5+ years PQE in a top-tier law firm, tech company, or fast-growing digital health/telehealth business.

• First-Principles Thinker: You thrive on novelty and ambiguity. When faced with a problem that has never been solved before, you dig into core principles to construct creative, compliant paths forward.

• Pragmatic & Commercial: You balance legal requirements with real-world commercial pressure. You understand what the business values and can move quickly without sacrificing quality or compliance.

• Exceptional Communicator: You get straight to the point accurately and efficiently. You can explain intricate healthcare or consumer laws to non-lawyers clearly and concisely.

• Self-Sufficient Operator: You take ownership, run autonomously, and prioritise effectively in a high-velocity environment without needing hand-holding.

Nice to Have:

• Domain Exposure: Prior experience navigating German and/or European pharmacy regulations, digital health/e-health laws, or Germany's unfair competition landscape is strongly favored. GDPR experience will also be viewed favourably, particularly in a healthcare context.

• Language Skills: German

Nice to Have:

• Preferred: Based in London with a hybrid work structure (time spent in our Old Street office collaborating with team members).

• Flexible: We are also open to exceptional candidates based remotely in Ireland or Germany.

We are committed to building a workforce that reflects diverse perspectives and prioritizes ethics, wellness, and a strong sense of belonging. If you're excited about this role, we encourage you to apply—even if you're not sure if your background or experience is a perfect match.
