About Dreem Health, by Sunrise

Dreem Health is America’s leading digital sleep clinic. Powered by Sunrise’s technology, Dreem Health makes sleep care simple — replacing long waits and in-lab sleep studies with home-based testing, expert telehealth visits, and personalized treatment plans that are easy for patients to follow. We’re fixing the broken sleep care journey and helping more people get the care they need — from home, on their schedule.

About Sunrise Group

Sleep is one of healthcare’s biggest blind spots. Access is slow, confusing and uneven, and millions of people who need help never get it. Sunrise exists to change that.

Born from pioneering research on mandibular jaw movement, we built a chin-based sleep test that reinvented how sleep disorders can be diagnosed from home. That breakthrough has evolved into a full sleep-health platform: advanced diagnostic and treatment technology paired with clinical care delivered directly to patients’ homes through Dreem Health in all 50 U.S. states.

Across the U.S. and Europe, our 100+ clinicians, engineers and operators share one mission: make high-quality sleep care accessible to everyone. Backed by more than $50M, we’re taking on one of healthcare’s biggest challenges: the 1+ billion people worldwide who still can’t get the sleep care they need.

Ideally, the candidate chosen for this opportunity will reside on the East Coast of the US.

Your Opportunity

Help design and scale the legal and compliance infrastructure that will support Dreem Health's next stage of growth.

This is not just a maintenance role.

Regulatory strategy (CMS, state telehealth law, consumer health data)
Health care compliance (HIPAA, billing integrity, DME)
Corporate governance and board-level legal support

Success in this role includes knowing what to own directly, what to streamline, and when to bring in external specialists.

At Sunrise Group, we work on a problem that affects millions: poor sleep and untreated sleep disorders. Our mission is to make diagnosis and care easier to access, and we’re proud of the experience we provide to patients. We feel responsible for making it better every day. If you’re looking for the autonomy to take ownership of your work, make an impact, and be part of a team where ideas move fast and everyone has a voice - this role is for you!
