Senior Paralegal, Contracts & RegulatoryValley Forge Medical

Title: Senior Paralegal, Contracts & Regulatory (Office of the President)

Lion Health System operates three behavioral health hospitals. This role owns the document and matter workflow in the President's Office: contracts, regulatory filings, payer and vendor correspondence, and coordination with outside counsel and regulators. The President edits; this person drafts, tracks, and closes.

What you will own

• First drafts and redlines of contracts, amendments, BAAs, payer and vendor correspondence, and regulatory submissions
• Contract lifecycle: intake, version control, execution, renewal tracking
• Regulatory and licensure filings (CMS 855A, change of ownership, state licensure renewals, accreditation submissions), prepared for executive review
• A live matter tracker across outside counsel, lobbyists, regulators, and payer disputes, with status and next action for each
• Follow-up with vendors, payers, and counsel so open items do not stall

Must have

• 5+ years as a paralegal or legal assistant in healthcare (hospital, health system, or health law practice)
• Strong drafting; candidates will complete a timed writing exercise
• Daily use of AI drafting tools; we expect it and will train on our workflow
• Organized under volume: able to carry 30+ open matters without dropping any
• Discretion with confidential and PHI-adjacent material

This is NOT an executive assistant or scheduling role; calendar and inbox are handled separately. Not an attorney role; outside counsel provides legal opinions. Hospital experience highly preferred. 

Schedule: (9AM-5PM) Primary on-site in Lakewood, NJ, some hybrid hours as well.
