About Us

Red Cell Partners is an incubation firm building and investing in rapidly scalable technology-led companies that are bringing revolutionary advancements to market in three distinct practice areas: healthcare, cyber, and national security. United by a shared sense of duty and deep belief in the power of innovation, Red Cell is developing powerful tools and solutions to address our Nation’s most pressing problems.

Red Cell is hiring a Legal Counsel to join our Legal Department, supporting Red Cell and our incubations in the healthcare and defense industries. As a key member of a fast moving, innovative company building across highly regulated industries, you’ll work on a broad variety of projects, ranging from reviewing and negotiating vendor agreements, to working on venture financings, to researching rapidly developing areas of law.

The ideal candidate has a business mindset; they understand that Legal works in service of business goals. Though providing legal support in connection with fundraising (alongside outside counsel) will only be one part of the job, we prefer to hire a candidate who has previous experience with venture financing and some level of familiarity with NVCA model documents. The candidate is a strong analytical thinker, with the ability to effectively apply logic to complex fact sets involving ambiguity and sometimes multiple unknowns. They are also an effective communicator, with the ability to communicate to senior level audiences in writing and verbally.

• Experience with venture financing and NVCA model documents preferred.
