Role OverviewWe are hiring our first General Counsel to build and lead the legal function. The job is not to hedge every risk or slow the business down. It is to protect the company well, keep deals moving, keep us compliant across a complex international footprint, and build a legal function that scales as we grow.
What You Will Do
Own everything from commercial contracts and data privacy to employment law and corporate governance. Act as the primary legal partner to Sales and Deal Desk, giving fast, practical guidance on deal structure, contract risk, and customer requests that fall outside the standard template.
Why It Might Be a Fit
We are looking for a pragmatic, commercial attorney with strong SaaS contract experience, hands-on data privacy knowledge, employment law exposure across several jurisdictions, and the confidence to work as a solo in-house lawyer at a fast-moving company.
Requirements
- JD from an accredited law school and admission to at least one US state bar in good standing, New York preferred.
- 5- 7 years of legal experience, ideally combining law firm training with in-house work at a technology or SaaS company.
- Experience as the first or sole in-house lawyer at a scaling SaaS or technology company is a plus.
- Strong commercial contracting background, with real experience drafting and negotiating enterprise SaaS or technology agreements.
- Hands-on GDPR and data privacy experience, including DPAs, SCCs, and cross-border transfer frameworks.
- Practical employment law experience across several US states, with some exposure to European employment matters.
Benefits
- Competitive salary that reflects your skills and experience.
- Flexible working hours and the freedom to work remotely from New York or elsewhere on the US East Coast.
- The chance to be part of something meaningful, helping to build an ethical and compliant business space around the globe.
- An opportunity to make a real, lasting impact on a rapidly growing company.
