We have a bold vision: everyone involved in a patient’s care - including the patient - should be able to communicate easily with each other. And we believe every NHS staff member should be using our software to make that happen. We want to make healthcare genuinely better.
We are solving one of the biggest challenges of our generation, and to do this, we need the best talent possible to help us raise the bar… this is where you come in.
Our products are used daily (and you will have most certainly received a message from us) by over 98% of GP practices and half of NHS hospitals, impacting millions of lives. As our Head of Legal, your role will be mission-critical and you will be central to shaping the core communication infrastructure of the NHS. You'll directly enable faster, safer, and more accessible patient care.
As Head of Legal, you’ll set the legal strategy and operating model that lets Accurx scale safely across the NHS and beyond - enabling faster adoption of our products while protecting patient data, brand trust, and long-term optionality. You’ll lead a team spanning legal ops, data protection, and service management oversight, and you’ll partner closely with the CEO, Exec team and Board on risk-based decisions, governance, and growth (including fundraising readiness.
This isn’t just about reviewing contracts or “keeping us compliant.” You’ll be:
Building a scalable legal + GRC machine for growth: designing the governance, risk and compliance framework (templates, escalation rules, oversight) that enables teams to move quickly while keeping our legal risk profile under control.
Navigating privacy and AI in a clinical setting: championing privacy-by-design with Product/Tech, tackling complex data protection questions, and guiding the business through a fast-moving regulatory landscape as we ship new capabilities responsibly.
Being a strategic advisor in high-stakes moments: partnering with the CEO/Board/Exec on commercial strategy, disputes or regulatory issues, reputational risk, and critical decisions—bringing calm judgement and pragmatic trade-offs.
Owning NHS/public sector contracting complexity at scale: leading on NHS/public sector procurement and contracting patterns (frameworks, standard terms, due diligence, variations), and building repeatable approaches that help Sales and Delivery move faster without compromising on risk or compliance.
We need a Head of Legal who embodies our Principles and thrives on significant challenges. We're seeking the core skills below, coupled with a mindset ready for real impact.
Core skills we are looking for:
Qualified solicitor (or equivalent) with 8+ years PQE
Broad in-house experience across commercial, corporate, privacy, and GRC in a scaling tech or health-tech business
Strong judgment and comfort making pragmatic trade-offs in high-risk environments
Proven experience advising boards, executives, and investors
Hands-on experience with fundraising, due diligence, and shareholder dynamics (Series C+ ideal)
Strong company secretarial and equity experience
Comfortable operating autonomously with executive-level ownership
Experience working with public sector or highly regulated customers preferred
A collaborative people leader who raises the bar and builds strong teams

Raise the bar: We have built an exceptional team to solve hard challenges. We hire for expertise and new ideas, maintaining high standards, giving honest feedback, and only delivering work we're proud of.
Be a driver, not a passenger: We make things happen, focus on the right problems, and bring the energy to deliver ambitious goals.
Succeed together: We succeed only as a team. Our mission is too important for anything less, so company success always comes first.
Move with urgency: We’re on a mission, and every day lost is a missed opportunity to improve lives. We work at pace and focus on our mission, our users, and our impact.
Be relentlessly resourceful: We embrace constraints as they force us to think differently, be creative, and focus.
Embrace challenge: We value constructive conflict over harmony, having tough conversations for the best outcome.
We believe in supporting our team to do their best work, and thrive both professionally and personally.
