About Us

We’re combining global medical and technological expertise to reimagine how healthcare should fit into people’s everyday lives.

Job Description

This is a remote position.

Health insurance runs on rules, and lots of them. We need someone who keeps us on the right side of them while the business grows.

About Reliance Health

We're a healthcare technology company of 400+ people using technology to make healthcare affordable, accessible, and delightful in emerging markets. We operate across Nigeria, Egypt, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire, with 300,000 people depending on us for their healthcare. We're one of Time Magazine's World's Top Healthtech Companies (2025).

We're a data-driven team that values ambitious thinking, simple communication, and working without micromanagement. We move fast, learn by doing, and our diverse team spans multiple nationalities and backgrounds.

The Role

As our Manager, Legal and Compliance Services, you'll make sure Reliance Health follows the law and our regulators' rules in every market where we work. You'll draft and negotiate contracts, advise teams on legal risk, and manage our relationships with regulators. This is a hands-on role: you'll own day-to-day legal and compliance work, not just give advice. If you like turning complex rules into clear steps people can follow, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

  • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with vendors, partners, and healthcare providers
  • Keep a contract register with renewal dates, obligations, and expiry dates
  • Manage regulatory filings, license applications, renewals, and letters to regulators
  • Keep a compliance calendar so no regulatory deadline is missed
  • Follow regulatory changes in each market and turn requirements into clear internal policies
  • Assess risk when we launch products, enter new markets, or change processes
  • Support internal investigations and manage work with external lawyers

What You'll Bring

  • LL.B and BL, and called to the Bar
  • At least 5 years of post-qualification experience in corporate law, compliance, or a similar legal role
  • Experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts with little supervision
  • Hands-on experience with regulators, including filings, correspondence, inspections, or audits
  • Ability to turn laws and regulations into internal policies and clear guidance
  • Strong writing and speaking skills, with the ability to explain legal ideas to non-lawyers
  • Based in Lagos, or willing to relocate

Nice to Have

  • Experience in a regulated industry like health insurance, financial services, or fintech
  • Familiarity with NHIA or similar health insurance regulators
  • Legal or compliance work across more than one country
  • Experience supporting board-level governance or reporting

What We Offer

  • Salary: ₦600,000.00 monthly
  • Remote role based in Lagos, Nigeria
  • Unlimited leave – take the time you need
  • Premium health insurance for you and your family
  • Learning and development allowance to support your growth
