About the role
About Doximity
Doximity is the leading digital platform for U.S. medical professionals, used by more than a million clinicians to collaborate, stay current on medical news, manage their careers, and deliver better patient care. Our teams build products that help physicians be more productive, informed, and connected — including physician networking tools, clinical workflow products, and privacy-forward advertising solutions for life sciences and health systems.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced commercial attorney to join Doximity's legal team as a Commercial Counsel focused on our advertising and partnerships business, reporting to the General Counsel. You will lead negotiations with our customers and partners, with a primary emphasis on digital advertising, sponsorship, and data-enabled services. You will work closely with colleagues across Sales, Marketing, Product, Revenue Operations, and Compliance to structure and close deals that align with our mission, business objectives, and regulatory obligations.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable owning complex commercial matters end-to-end, moving quickly in a growing company, and exercising sound judgment in an industry with evolving expectations around healthcare, privacy, and ad tech.
What You’ll Do
- Autonomously draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including advertising and sponsorship agreements, SaaS and platform terms, data and analytics arrangements, business associate agreements, and NDAs.
- Lead negotiations with life sciences customers, health systems, agencies, and other partners, focusing on practical, solutions-oriented outcomes that protect Doximity while enabling the business to grow.
- Work closely with our Sales, Revenue Operations, and Marketing teams to support deal strategy, respond to RFPs, and help develop standard positions, templates, and playbooks.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, and Compliance on issues related to privacy, data use, targeting, measurement, and safety in a healthcare advertising environment.
- Provide concise, business-focused advice on contract interpretation, risk allocation, regulatory considerations, and internal policies.
- Help design and continuously improve internal processes, templates, and guardrails to make our commercial work more scalable, efficient, and auditable.
- Assist with other corporate and product counseling matters as needed, including support for new product launches, vendor contracts, and special projects.
What We’re Looking For
- 6+ years of experience practicing law, including time at a reputable law firm and/or in-house at a technology, healthcare, or advertising company.
- Significant experience structuring and negotiating commercial transactions (for example, SaaS, digital media, data licensing, strategic partnerships, or IP licensing).
- A confident, effective negotiator who can identify what matters, explain risk clearly, and efficiently bring deals to a balanced close.
- Excellent drafting skills with the ability to write precisely and clearly for both legal and non-legal audiences.
- Strong business judgment and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment, while knowing when to escalate or seek additional input.
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels of the company.
- J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school.
- Active membership in the California bar or eligibility to register as California Registered In-House Counsel (RHIC) before starting in the role.
Nice to Have
- Experience with ad tech, digital advertising, or media buying, particularly in highly regulated industries such as healthcare or financial services.
- Familiarity with healthcare regulatory frameworks (e.g., HIPAA) and privacy and data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA).
- Prior in-house experience at a technology company or other growth-stage company.
- Experience supporting sales teams and working with standardized playbooks and deal processes.
Location & Work Environment
This is an onsite role based in our San Francisco office. The team is in the office on a regular basis (minimally 3 days per week) for collaboration, and this position is expected to be present in person accordingly.

Compensation
The anticipated total compensation for this role is $257,000 - $350,000, depending on factors such as experience, skills, location, and internal equity.
Our total compensation package may include:
- Base salary
- Equity (where applicable)
Specific compensation details will be discussed during the interview process.
