Attorney/Lawyer

Robert Half is seeking a highly skilled Healthcare Procurement Counsel with deep expertise in healthcare, technology, and complex commercial contracting. In this role, you will drive enterprise-wide procurement strategy and serve as a trusted legal advisor to both operational leadership and the broader legal team.

This role is ideal for an attorney who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments and has hands-on experience negotiating sophisticated technology, data, clinical, and vendor agreements — particularly within healthcare systems, health plans, research organizations, or public-private partnerships.

Location: New York, NY (Downtown/Tribeca)

Schedule: Hybrid — 4 Days Onsite (Mon–Thurs), Remote on Fridays

Duration: 6+ Months (Potential Extension)

Why This Role Stands Out

You will be at the center of the organization’s most important procurements, working across IT, clinical operations, pharmacy, supply chain, medical devices, and digital health to ensure compliant, efficient, and strategically aligned contracting. This is a highly visible position that blends procurement, regulatory, technology, and healthcare operations.

• Provide responsive, solutions-oriented support to senior leadership and stakeholders.
