Altera Digital Health

Legal Counsel (Commercial & Tech)

At Altera Digital Health, we develop the tech that helps hospitals and clinicians provide better patient care. But we don’t do it alone. We are part of Harris, a global powerhouse that acquires and grows software companies across the world.

We’re looking for a Solicitor who wants more variety than a standard in-house role. This position is a 50/50 split between Altera Digital Health and our parent company, Harris.

This isn't a one-dimensional role. You’ll spend your time navigating the specific legal nuances of digital healthcare with one team, while supporting the broader Harris portfolio on high-level commercial deals and group-wide initiatives with the other.

What your day-to-day actually looks like:

• The Altera Side (50%): You’ll be the go-to for our UK and International teams. You’ll negotiate the SaaS licenses and vendor deals that keep digital healthcare moving.

• The Harris Side (50%): You’ll plug into the wider Harris legal network, tackling group-level projects, M& A due diligence, and commercial contracts across a massive range of software businesses.

• Being the "Go-To": In both roles, you aren't just a "checker" of documents. You’re a pragmatic advisor helping Sales and Product teams figure out how to get deals over the line safely.

• Spotting the Icebergs: You’ll find and fix legal risks before they become headaches, providing clear, human-readable advice to people who don't speak "legalese."

Who you are:

• You’re a Qualified Solicitor (England & Wales) with a solid foundation in commercial or corporate law.

• You’re a pragmatist. You know how to find a middle ground that protects the business without killing the deal.

• You can explain complex legal points to a Sales Manager in a way that makes sense.

• If you have experience in Health-Tech or SaaS, that’s great, but we’re really looking for a sharp, adaptable commercial mind who can handle the variety of a dual-company role.

Why Altera & Harris?

• Diversified Exposure: Benefit from the niche expertise of a specialized health-tech firm combined with the global reach of a premier software acquisition group.

• Impact-Driven Work: Contribute directly to the technology that supports frontline healthcare services globally.

• Professional Development: Gain access to the extensive career pathways and mentorship opportunities available within the wider Harris and Constellation Software (CSI) ecosystem.

• In-House Environment: Transition away from billable hour structures into a role focused on long-term business impact and strategic partnership.
