Qureight's mission is to accelerate clinical trials and ensure breakthroughs in lung and heart disease reach patients without delay. Our AI-powered data and imaging curation platform enables the analysis of clinical imaging and other healthcare data, helping our customers bring treatments to market, faster.
We're looking for talented people who want their work to matter. With offices in Cambridge and London, you'll join our multidisciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, and engineers. What unites us is our open culture, continuous learning mindset, and a shared mission to help biopharma run faster, smarter trials.
About The Role
Qureight is entering a new phase of growth - accelerating our global biopharma partnerships, expanding internationally, and building the infrastructure to support a high-growth, data-driven business. This requires a robust legal approach to ensure that we protect our IP and sign commercial deals that support our ambitious growth trajectory.
We are therefore hiring our first General Counsel & Company Secretary (0.8FTE) to build and lead the legal function at Qureight. In this varied and hands-on role, you will own commercial contracts and negotiations, coordinate intellectual property protection, and act as Company Secretary. You will also provide support for future fundraising, M&A deals, and strategic transactions. Working closely with the COO, CMO, CCO, and CFO, you will partner with external counsel where relevant. This role provides the opportunity to build and lead Qureight's legal function from day one, as well as shape the legal and commercial foundations of a high-growth techbio company working at the forefront of AI-powered clinical trials.
What You Will Do
- Lead all commercial contracting
- Own and negotiate a wide range of agreements (including MSAs, SSAs etc), including:
- Pharma and biotech partnerships
- Clinical CRO partnerships
- SaaS / platform agreements
- Data sharing and licensing agreements
- Data Protection Agreements including international data transfers, engaging external counsel when required
- Support the commercial team in structuring deals that balance risk, scalability and strategic value
- Day-to-day operational contracts such as CDAs
- Define and manage IP strategy
- Coordinate Qureight's intellectual property protection, including:

- Engage external specialist counsel to help define and implement the protection strategy
- Licensing frameworks
- Work closely with science and engineering teams to:
- Identify protectable IP
- Identify and mitigate risks around third-party data and models
- Company Secretary and corporate governance
- Act as Company Secretary, responsible for:
- Board processes and governance
- Statutory compliance and filings
- Maintaining corporate records
- Support the Board and SLT on governance best practices
- Support future fundraising, preparing for future M&A deals, and strategic transactions
- Build the legal function
- Establish scalable legal processes, templates, and policies
- Manage and optimise use of external counsel
- Be comfortable being the sole lawyer and happy doing both the day-to-day work and larger strategic projects (i.e. closing multi-million pound deals with global biopharma partners)
- Risk management and compliance
- Provide pragmatic, business-oriented legal advice across:
- Data protection and privacy e.g. GDPR
- Regulatory considerations (GCP clinical trials and standard pass-down clauses / AI where relevant)
- International expansion
- Stay abreast of new/updated legislation/regulation and advise/integrate into the business
- Balance legal risk with commercial objectives
- Strategic partner to leadership
- Act as a trusted advisor to the SLT on:
- Commercial strategy
- Partnerships
- Corporate development
Requirements
What we need
- At least 7 years PQE
- In-house experience working in a VC-backed, high growth techbio, biotech, SaaS, or deep tech company

- Data protection and international data transfers
- Technology, data, or AI-related legal issues
- Contracting in the biotech industry
- Managing M&A projects
- Managing outside counsel where necessary
- Experience supporting boards and governance processes
