Chief Legal Officer (CLO) / General Counsel (HealthTech & AI)

Company: AI MedTech Ltd (Incendium Labs)

Location: London, UK (Hybrid / Flexible Remote)

Compensation: Equity/Milestone-Based & Advisory Structure (Early-Stage HealthTech Startup)

• Right to Work: Candidates must be British citizens or hold settled status (Indefinite Leave to Remain / ILR) in the UK. Because AI MedTech Ltd operates under an Innovator Founder visa structure, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship (such as a Skilled Worker visa) for this executive role at this stage.

AI MedTech Ltd is a pioneering digital health company bridging frontline clinical insight with advanced artificial intelligence and wearable telemetry. Through our flagship platforms—MedBridge (acute clinical triage) and MenoBridge (AI-driven midlife and menopause symptom navigation)—we are transforming patient pathways across retail pharmacy networks, digital storefronts, and healthcare systems globally.

Our R&D division, Incendium Labs, unites clinical rigor with advanced software architecture, pushing the boundaries of continuous biomarker loops, autonomous clinical workflows, and SNOMED CT data interoperability. We are currently backed by major industry innovators, including finalist status in the Global Innovator Awards (headline partnered by Barclays and endorsed by the UK Government’s Global Entrepreneur Programme).

We are looking for an exceptional, legally astute Chief Legal Officer (CLO) / General Counsel to take executive ownership of our legal, regulatory, and corporate governance frameworks.

Working directly alongside founder-level leadership, you will safeguard our intellectual property portfolio, structure cross-border enterprise and retail agreements (such as with Superdrug and SHOPLINE USA), and ensure rigorous compliance with UK medical device and data privacy regulations.

• Regulatory & MedTech Compliance: Oversee compliance frameworks relating to healthcare software, including UKCA/CE medical device regulations, NHS data security standards, and DTAC requirements.
• IP Strategy & Protection: Manage the robust protection, filing, and assignment of intellectual property across AI MedTech and Incendium Labs, ensuring clean unencumbered IP for future investment rounds.
• Commercial Contracting: Draft, review, and negotiate high-stakes commercial agreements, enterprise SaaS contracts, pilot terms, and international distribution MOUs (including US channel partnerships).
• Corporate Governance & Cap Table Management: Advise on corporate structuring, advisory agreements, equity vesting schedules, and shareholder relations as the company scales.
• Data Privacy & GDPR: Ensure strict alignment with UK GDPR, patient data security protocols, and wearable telemetry data governance (Apple HealthKit integrations).

• Eligibility (Mandatory): Must be a Qualified Solicitor or Barrister in England and Wales (SRA or Bar regulated) holding British Citizenship or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
• Experience: Proven legal background (ideally 5+ years PQE) within corporate law, commercial tech transactions, life sciences, or digital health regulatory compliance.
• Startup Agility: A pragmatic, business-minded lawyer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment—balancing legal risk mitigation with rapid commercial execution.
• Communication & Leadership: Exceptional stakeholder management skills, capable of translating complex regulatory and legal concepts for technical, clinical, and commercial partners.

• Executive Equity Stake: A significant equity package reflecting executive leadership status, structured via vesting or advisory terms in an award-winning health-tech startup.
• C-Suite Impact: Shape the core legal, structural, and international trajectory of a company scaling fast across the UK and global health markets.
