About Abby Care

Making family care possible. At Abby Care, we are tackling one of the most important and unsolved challenges of our time : family caregiving.

Over 50 million Americans are family caregivers for loved ones without pay, tools, or support. Our mission is clear and ambitious : to train and employ family caregivers so they can get paid for the care they already provide at home.

Abby Care is building a tech-powered, family-first care platform to efficiently deliver care, improve health outcomes, and provide the best-in-class experience nationwide.

We are rapidly expanding our mission and looking for passionate team members to join. Abby Care has partnered with leading insurance plans, healthcare providers, and community organizations. We're supported by top, mission-driven VCs to empower families throughout the country.

The Role

We are seeking our first in-house Legal Counsel to help us navigate complex legal and regulatory landscapes as we scale. You'll be a key advisor to the CEO and the executive team. This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, can work cross-functionally, and wants to shape the legal foundation of a growing company.

In this role, you'll support transactional, litigation, and regulatory strategies while mitigating legal and reputational risks related to our healthcare products and services. You'll advise on compliance, risk management, contracts, and regulatory matters to help shape policies, protect legal interests, and promote ethical practices.

This is an in-person role in San Francisco.

Our Values

Redefining healthcare starts with how we treat the parents and children we serve. We go above and beyond for every family, building strong, lasting relationships. We continually ask ourselves, "Would we want this for our own families?"

Millions of families are waiting for care, and they cannot wait, therefore this is not your typical 9 to 5 job. We match their urgency with our own, delivering exceptional care without compromise. Here, speed and excellence go hand in hand .

As an ambitious startup, we adapt quickly and make the most of limited time and resources. We solve challenges with creativity to deliver results without unnecessary complexity.

We take our mission seriously while never losing sight of the people behind the work. Respect, kindness, memes, and coffee make us stronger as a team and better for the families we serve.

We are here to make healthcare better, which means asking hard questions, challenging outdated systems, and finding smarter, more compassionate ways to deliver care.
