Legal Counsel
About the role
As Legal Counsel at Reserv, you will be an early and integral member of our growing legal function, working closely with the VP of Legal to support all aspects of the company's legal needs. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-moving, venture-backed insurtech leader at an exciting stage of growth — and to gain broad, hands-on experience across transactional, commercial, and operational legal matters.
You'll operate as a true generalist: one day you might be reviewing vendor and customer agreements, the next day advising the product team on data privacy considerations, and the next helping develop internal playbooks and processes. You don't need to be an insurance industry veteran or insurance law expert — a willingness to learn the space combined with strong foundational legal skills are what matter most.
Requirements
- 3–6 years of legal experience with a law firm, in-house, or a combination.
- Strong generalist foundation — experience across commercial contracts, corporate matters, employment practices, litigation, and/or regulatory compliance.
- Prior Big Law or mid-size firm experience in formative years strongly preferred.
- In-house experience at a startup, tech company, or high-growth business is a plus.
- Experience in insurance, insurtech or fintech is a plus, but not required — we will teach you what you need to know.
- Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school.
- Active admission to a state bar in the United States.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Willingness to travel occasionally as needed.
