The Assistant General Counsel, Americas serves as the lead attorney and strategic legal partner for Telix's Phase 3 and go-to-market activities in the Americas region, the company's largest market by revenue and headcount. The role covers the full Phase 3-to-commercial product lifecycle: Food and Drug Administration labeling and promotional/advertising review, Medical-Legal-Regulatory (MLR) review committee participation, healthcare fraud and abuse compliance (Anti-Kickback Statute safe-harbor analysis, False Claims Act risk), patient support program design and compliance, market access and government pricing (Medicare, Medicaid, 340B Drug Pricing Program, state drug pricing transparency laws), specialty distributor and specialty pharmacy contracting, commercial medical affairs activities, antitrust and unfair competition law as applied to commercial activities, and litigation/dispute management. The role is designed for an experienced life sciences attorney who can operate with substantial autonomy as the primary, trusted legal point of contact for Americas commercial and medical affairs leadership, proactively partnering with the business rather than merely providing reactive legal review, while escalating high-risk issues appropriately.

This is a growth role for a lawyer who wants to build a career in pharmaceutical product counseling while embedded with Americas commercial, medical affairs, and market-access leadership. It offers meaningful autonomy, close business partnership, and the opportunity to shape commercial legal support in Telix’s largest market.

In addition to competitive salaries, we offer health and wellbeing incentives, bonus incentives, and support for learning and development. You will be part of an engaged and supportive group of colleagues who all have a shared purpose: to help people with cancer and rare diseases live longer, better quality lives.
