This is a unique opportunity to build the legal function from the ground up in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Risk & Compliance Strategy: Anticipate and communicate regulatory and operational risks. Partner closely with compliance, product, and operations to support responsible growth.
Infrastructure Creation: Design scalable systems, templates, and workflows to support legal operations without unnecessary overhead.
AI Integration: Use large language models and legal tech to streamline contract review and internal legal operations.
Executive Collaboration: Work closely with senior leadership and the CEO on business strategy, deal execution, and regulatory navigation.

Early-stage, high-growth environment on nimble team

Proven ability to lead contract negotiations with speed, nuance, and commercial awareness
Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias toward action and systems thinking
Comfortable working in ambiguity and fast-moving deal cycles
Familiarity with AI/legal tech tools (e.g., LLMs, GPT-based tools, legal automation platforms)
Culture Fit
Passionate and execution-oriented with a collaborative, low-ego mindset
Thrives in an open-door, roll-up-your-sleeves culture where team members step up and support each other
Values clear communication, accountability, and continuous improvement
Why This Role
Lead the legal strategy for a high-impact portfolio of fast-scaling companies
