GeneralCounsel

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Virta is looking for a forward-thinking General Counsel who combines strong legal judgment with commercial instincts, operational pragmatism, and a builder mentality. This role is not designed for a purely defensive or compliance-oriented legal executive. We are seeking a leader who can help accelerate growth while appropriately managing risk in a complex and evolving healthcare environment. The General Counsel will oversee all legal affairs of the company, partner closely with executive leadership and the Board, and help shape the company’s readiness for its next stage of scale, including public company preparation. The ideal candidate brings experience operating inside a high-growth, venture-backed technology or healthcare company, along with strong exposure to IPO readiness and public company disciplines. We are especially interested in candidates who understand how emerging AI technologies are transforming the legal function and can help Virta thoughtfully leverage those tools across legal operations, contracting, compliance, and enterprise risk management. The General Counsel will report directly to the CFO and work closely with the CEO, executive leadership team, and Board of Directors. RESPONSIBILITIES - Lead and develop Virta’s Legal team, buildi
