Associate General Counsel

About the role

We're looking for an Associate General Counsel who can wear multiple hats and thrive in ambiguity. This isn't a narrow specialist role — you'll work across legal ethics, privacy, AI regulation, commercial contracts, immigration and whatever else the business needs. The common thread is judgment: knowing when to move fast and when to pump the brakes, when to escalate and when to handle it yourself.

What makes this role compelling

• The combination of strategic impact and hands-on execution
• You'll be in the room for major decisions, but you'll also be the one drafting the contract or filing the visa petition
• You'll work directly with founders, executives, and cross-functional leaders who value legal as a partner, not a cost center
• You'll have the autonomy to experiment with AI tools to reinvent how legal work gets done

What You’ll Do

• Take the lead on privacy and AI compliance, building frameworks that allow us to move fast without creating unnecessary risk
• Handle a wide range of commercial work — reviewing vendor contracts, negotiating customer agreements, advising on partnerships, and supporting M&A or fundraising when needed
• Be the go-to lawyer for cross-functional teams, which means you'll need to build trust, communicate clearly, and deliver advice that's practical and grounded in business reality
• Experiment with AI tools to improve how the legal team works

What We’re Looking For

• You've spent 3-6 years practicing law, likely starting at a law firm before moving in-house or working as a GC or AGC at an earlier-stage company
• You know what good looks like from the outside, but you've also learned the practical realities of being an internal lawyer — how to prioritize, how to say no without being obstructionist, how to move the business forward while managing risk
• You have experience in legal ethics, employment law, commercial and SAAS contracts — not just theoretical knowledge, but hands-on work navigating visa petitions, sponsorships, compliance audits, and the messy realities of hiring global talent
• You also understand AI and privacy law, whether that's GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, or the emerging patchwork of AI regulations
• You're resourceful and commercial. You know when to bring in outside counsel and when to handle something yourself. You know when a contract needs serious negotiation and when it's fine to sign as-is. You care about details — you won't let a sloppy clause slip through — but you also know how to zoom out and focus on what actually matters to the business
