What You'll Do Here
Serve as the dedicated legal partner to a portfolio of product and business teams, providing day-to-day legal counsel on high-impact, fast-moving initiatives.
Advises on a broad range of legal matters, including payments and FinTech, healthcare/MedSpa compliance, consumer protection, marketing, privacy, data governance, intellectual property, and dispute resolution.
- Lead the drafting, review, negotiation, and management of commercial agreements, from strategic partnerships and payments deals to customer contracts and renewals.
- Own and continuously improve contract templates, playbooks, and legal processes to increase efficiency and consistency across the business.
- Partner closely with Sales and GTM teams to balance legal risk with business velocity and enable faster deal execution.
- Collaborate with Legal Operations to build scalable workflows, automate repeatable work, and continuously improve how Legal supports the business.
What You'll Need To Thrive
- Experience: 6 to 11 years of combined law-firm and in-house experience, ideally including time at a SaaS, payments/fintech, or other regulated technology company.
- Credentials: JD from an accredited law school and an active license to practice law in at least one US state.
- Autonomy: A track record of operating independently, owning matters end to end, and being trusted to make and defend judgment calls with limited oversight.
- Commercial depth: Strong command of technology and commercial contracting, with the instinct to balance risk and speed.
- Generalist range: Comfort moving across commercial, regulatory, privacy, corporate, and employment questions, and the resourcefulness to get smart fast on something unfamiliar.
- Business partnership: A practical, solutions-oriented style; you make complex issues clear to non-lawyers and are known as an enabler, not a gatekeeper.
- Composure in ambiguity: You do your best work with incomplete information, competing priorities, and a fast-moving business.
Nice To Have
- Exposure to payments or fintech regulation (money movement, processor or card-network rules).
- Familiarity with healthcare, wellness, or other regulated consumer industries.
- Privacy experience (CCPA/CPRA, GDPR) beyond contract-level data terms.
- Experience as an early or sole in-house attorney at a high-growth company.
