About Us

At Prenuvo, we are on a mission to flip the paradigm from reactive “sick-care” to proactive health care. Our award-winning whole body scan is fast (under 1 hour), safe (MRI has no ionizing radiation), and non-invasive (no contrast). Our unique integrated stack of optimized hardware, software, and increasingly AI, coupled with the patient-centric experience across our domestic and global clinics, have allowed us to lead the change against “we caught it too late again".

We are looking for a Senior Counsel - Litigation & Employment to join our legal team and contribute to our mission of making a meaningful impact on preventative health.

This is a role suited to someone who thrives in a fast paced environment, can shift between strategic counseling and hands-on execution, and communicates legal concepts in plain language to clinical and business leaders.

Help reshape the world through proactive healthcare while working with cutting-edge technology and high performing teams with deep expertise - join us to make a difference in people’s lives!
