Job Description

Mavericks Wanted When was the last time you achieved the impossible? If that thought feels overwhelming, you might want to pause here, but if it sparks excitement...read on In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible. Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work. The Lead Affiliate Counsel is the single point of legal contact for one or more BridgeBio affiliates — the person the affiliate head calls first on everything. Not just commercial questions. Not just MLR. Everything. You will own the legal relationship with the affiliate, quarterback the full breadth of legal support across the BridgeBio legal team and ensure that the affiliate gets the quality and speed of counsel it needs to operate with confidence. This is a role for a lawyer who is as comfortable thinking about a contract dispute as they are about a promotional compliance question or an employment matter — and who has the presence, judgment, and organizational intelligence to be a genuine trusted advisor to business leaders. You will not do every piece of legal work yourself. But you will own every piece of it, and the affiliate will always know where you stand. The Affiliate's Legal Anchor You are the first call for affiliate leadership on every legal matter — commercial, operational, employment, compliance, contracts. You own the relationship and quarterback the work. Builder's Mandate With multiple product launches approaching, you will help design legal frameworks that scale — coordinating across the BridgeBio legal team to deliver seamless, efficient support. Cross-Functional Quarterback You will work across Commercial, Medical Affairs, Finance, HR, Compliance, and Regulatory to pull in the right expertise and drive issues to resolution — with the affiliate always knowing you have it handled. Mission-Driven Work Rare disease patients have few alternatives. The legal work you do — done well and done fast — is part of what gets life-changing therapies to the people who need them most. WHAT YOU'LL DO At BridgeBio each product is not just a business unit. To serve patients in need and be nimble we believe each product deserves its own affiliate, with a central hub providing the necessary services. As Lead Affiliate Counsel, you are the legal face of BridgeBio to one or more of these affiliates. You own the relationship with affiliate leadership, quarterback the full scope of legal support across the BridgeBio legal team, and ensure your affiliate operates with confidence on every legal matter — from commercial strategy to compliance to contracts to employment. You are a trusted advisor and integrator first, and a specialist second. Affiliate Legal Partnership Serve as the single point of legal contact for one or more affiliate heads — their first call on any legal matter, regardless of subject area, and the person who ensures nothing falls through the cracks Quarterback legal support across the BridgeBio legal team — knowing when to handle matters directly and when to pull in specialists across commercial, employment, IP, regulatory, or finance law, while maintaining ownership of the relationship and quality of the work product Provide strategic legal counsel across the full scope of affiliate ...
