A DAY IN THE LIFE
As our international business continues to expand across Europe and beyond, we are looking for a highly experienced Senior Corporate Counsel, International to help support our growth, navigate complex legal landscapes, and serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders across multiple markets.
Reporting to the Vice President, International Legal, this role will play a critical part in supporting Tandem's continued expansion, including direct market growth internationally, together with our distributor markets.
This remote or home-based position is preferably located in Switzerland. We will also consider candidates based in the United Kingdom, or possibly other European locations who can effectively support Tandem's broader international business.
Our International Legal team partners closely with commercial, marketing, distribution, regulatory, compliance, privacy, HR, and leadership teams across Europe, the Middle East, and other international markets. This is an opportunity to join a growing, highly visible team where your expertise will directly influence business decisions, manage risk, and support sustainable international growth.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
As Senior Corporate Counsel, International, you will serve as a strategic legal partner supporting a broad range of international commercial and operational matters. You will independently manage complex legal issues while balancing business objectives, patient needs, and regulatory requirements.
- Draft, review, negotiate, and interpret a wide range of commercial agreements, including distribution, procurement, supplier, sales, marketing, and commercial partnership contracts.
- Partner with sales, marketing, distribution, and senior business leaders to provide concise, practical, and risk-based legal advice that enables commercial growth.
- Support a portfolio of direct and distributor markets across Europe, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Benelux, France, Spain, and Portugal, as well as Scandinavia, Central Europe, the Middle East, and additional international territories. Exact territory ownership will reflect the successful candidate's profile.
- Advise on commercial, regulatory, product, contractual, privacy, compliance, and operational matters affecting international markets.
- Support public procurement and tender opportunities, including NHS and European healthcare purchasing processes, by reviewing contractual terms, assessing risk, and advising commercial leaders on practical implications.
- Collaborate with US-based legal specialists in regulatory and product law, compliance, privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, employment law, and other specialist areas.
- Support HR on complex employment and labor-law matters, particularly during workforce expansion into new countries, and manage external counsel where specialist advice is required.
- Monitor evolving developments in medical device regulation, healthcare reimbursement, digital health, artificial intelligence, data privacy, and related international legal frameworks.
- Contribute to legal process improvements, training, knowledge sharing, and horizon-scanning initiatives that prepare the business for future legal, regulatory, and compliance risks.
- Operate independently, prioritize a diverse workload, and help stakeholders distinguish material risks from manageable issues while identifying workable business solutions.
