Deputy General Counsel

What You'll Do

• Lead the legal function: Manage daily operations and budget to perform a broad range of legal work, providing strategic direction, first-rate execution, and mentorship while operating with a high degree of autonomy and relying on strong organizational and prioritization skills.
• Oversee commercial contract management: Draft, structure, review, and negotiate a wide range of agreements, including software service agreements, partnerships, and vendor contracts, aligning outcomes with company objectives.
• Develop the company?s regulatory compliance framework, offering practical solutions that support innovation and growth. Maintain current knowledge of relevant laws, particularly the FCRA. Experience with financial services and the public sector is a plus.
• Advise leadership on risk, compliance, and legal frameworks to support our growth. Research and respond to inquiries relating to complex operational and regulatory issues.
• Collaborate with executives and managers to define and implement company-wide legal and compliance policies. Leverage technology to improve scalability, strengthen collaboration, and achieve superior results faster.
• Corporate governance: Maintain corporate records, assist with financings, and ensure the company remains in good standing. Experience with transactions such as equity fundraising, debt financing, and M&A is a plus.
• Oversee and manage relationships with external legal counsel as needed to ensure high-quality, cost-effective support across jurisdictions and domains.
• Everything else: As our legal chief, you'll be the point person to help navigate a broad range of matters, including labor, privacy, IP, litigation, immigration, and more.

Who You Are

• Experienced and qualified: You have 4-8 years of legal experience, likely a mix of big law and in-house (or you?re ready to make the jump). You have a JD from an ABA accredited program and are an active bar member in any state or regional equivalent.
• Pragmatic communicator: You distill legal complexity into clear, actionable, data-driven advice for business leaders and technical teams. You can negotiate and manage complex technology transactions, preferably with experience in highly regulated industries.
• Startup-minded: You understand speed and act with urgency. You optimize for business realities, not legal perfection. You thrive in a dynamic environment and are driven to establish order. You can switch between 30,000-foot thinking and tactical execution effortlessly.
• Outcome-oriented: You are biased towards action and do not hesitate to confront and solve difficult problems. You work effectively with different personality types, commit to the success of the whole team, and inspire others through clarity of purpose and leading by example.
• Risk-savvy, not risk-averse: You evaluate trade-offs and articulate cost-benefit analysis. You are comfortable with ambiguity and new challenges; you?re not waiting for a playbook, you help write it. Above all, you have high ethical standards and a commitment to maintaining confidentiality and integrity.
