Full job description
Lead the Future of Dentistry. Overjet is the world-leader in dental AI. Already, thousands of dental providers and insurers rely on our platform to deliver the best possible care. Now, we’re looking for talented people to fulfill our mission: improve oral health for all. Overjet is where builders become leaders. Everyone here loves to make new things: new products, new partnerships, new content, and a new category of AI technology. And as Overjet grows ridiculously fast, so will you. Simply put, there’s no better place to accelerate your career. Come join us!
The Mission and the Hard Part We’re hiring a Legal Counsel to join our Legal team and report to the VP, Head of Legal. In this role, you will be a hands-on legal partner across the business, with a primary focus on commercial contracts. You will also help support marketing, privacy, and product matters. A successful candidate will be comfortable in a fast-paced, dynamic environment in a regulated industry. They will own matters from start to finish, use sound judgment, build scalable processes and systems, and know when to escalate. As our second attorney, you’ll join early and work directly with our Head of Legal to help build and scale the legal function as we grow. You’ll shape the templates, playbooks, and processes the whole business relies on, working in-house at an AI company with a practical use case that improves patient care while working in a rapidly evolving area of law.
