ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a detail-oriented, business-savvy counsel to join our legal team in a supporting role across commercial and corporate matters. You'll work closely with our finance and business teams to move deals forward, keep corporate housekeeping in order, and handle a steady volume of substantive legal work with minimal hand-holding.

This role reports into our Head of Corporate, Legal and is a great fit for someone who is ready to own a real workload in a fast-moving environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Support the commercial team across a wide range of agreements — M&A, financings, NDAs, vendor and services contracts, data licensing arrangements, and partnership agreements — handling drafting and negotiation across the full deal lifecycle

- Work alongside senior commercial counsel on more complex or strategic deals, taking on meaningful portions of the work rather than just administrative tasks

- Assist with entity maintenance, board and governance matters, and general corporate projects as they arise

- Help maintain and improve contract templates and internal processes

- Serve as a reliable, responsive resource for the business teams you support

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- JD and admitted to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

- Roughly 5-6 years of experience with a mix of firm and in-house time (one year or more in-house required)

- Ability to work through a contract efficiently, with enough deal exposure to have developed good instincts

- Comfortable operating without a lot of direction once you understand the assignment

- Organized, thorough, and communicative — you take ownership of your workload and follow through without needing to be chased

- Genuinely interested in the substance of what the business does, not just the contracts sitting on top of it

- (Plus) Background in fintech, crypto, tech, or a similarly fast-paced or regulated industry

- (Plus) Familiarity with data agreements, API or platform terms, or marketplace business models

BENEFITS

- Competitive salary & equity

- Unlimited PTO

- Health, Vision, & Dental coverage

- 401k match

- Hardware setup — new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
