Counsel, International (EMEA)

Hims & Hers is the leading health and wellness platform, on a mission to help the world feel great through the power of better health. We are redefining healthcare by putting the customer first and delivering access to care that is affordable, accessible, and personal, from diagnosis to treatment to delivery. No two people are the same, so we provide access to personalized care designed for results. By normalizing health & wellness challenges and innovating on their solutions, we’re making better health outcomes easier to achieve.

About the Role: Hims & Hers is seeking an enterprising, dynamic and highly self-sufficient Counsel, International to join our fast-paced International Legal team. In this role, you will be a key player supporting our European footprint with a primary focus on Germany, while also driving expansion into new European markets through our international launch function. Operating at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and e-commerce, you will tackle novel legal questions, bring clarity to complex regulatory frameworks, and partner closely with business leaders to build compliant, high-growth healthcare experiences across Europe. You will be a central operational driver for our German and pan-European commercial, telehealth, and pharmacy strategy.

You Will:

• Support German Operations: Serve as a key legal advisor on day-to-day matters across Germany advising on healthcare and pharmacy regulations, e-commerce compliance, digital health, and marketing.
• First-Principles Problem Solving: Untangle complex, novel, or undefined regulatory challenges where traditional precedents don't exist. You will help build legal frameworks using first principles rather than off-the-shelf templates.
• Deliver Actionable, Concise Advice: Cut through ambiguity and synthesise complex legal risks into clear, commercially pragmatic guidance. Your advice will be direct, risk-calibrated, and focused on business value.
• Navigate Pharmacy & Healthcare Regs: Advise cross-functional teams on German, Dutch, and cross-European pharmacy regulations, telemedicine rules, prescribing workflows, healthcare compliance and privacy. Particular focus on Germany’s AMG and HWG.
• Commercial Risk & Disputes: Mitigate commercial risk, negotiate key partner/vendor agreements, and assist with advertising and competition matters (including Germany’s unfair competition / UWG litigation environment).
• Drive Market Expansion & Growth: Partner with the international launch team to scale existing operations and launch Hims & Hers into new European markets, navigating local regulatory, legal, and operational landscapes from scratch.

Who You Are:

• Qualified Attorney: Admitted to practice in the UK, Germany, or Ireland (other EU jurisdictions considered by exception) with ~5+ years PQE in a top-tier law firm, tech company, or fast-growing digital health/telehealth business.
• First-Principles Thinker: You thrive on novelty and ambiguity. When faced with a problem that has never been solved before, you dig into core principles to construct creative, compliant paths forward.
• Pragmatic & Commercial: You balance legal requirements with real-world commercial pressure. You understand what the business values and can move quickly without sacrificing quality or compliance.
• Exceptional Communicator: You get straight to the point accurately and efficiently. You can explain intricate healthcare or consumer laws to non-lawyers clearly and concisely.
• Self-Sufficient Operator: You take ownership, run autonomously, and prioritise effectively in a high-velocity environment without needing hand-holding.

Nice to Have:

• Domain Exposure: Prior experience navigating German and/or European pharmacy regulations, digital health/e-health laws, or Germany's unfair competition landscape is strongly favored. GDPR experience will also be viewed favourably, particularly in a healthcare context.
• Language Skills: German.
