Manager, Legal Strategy

About the role

EIDLexit is a legal-adjacent consulting and technology platform that helps small business owners overcome SBA EIDL debt. We are not a law firm, debt settlement company, debt consolidation service, or tax resolution business. EIDLexit builds the financial and legal strategy and presents the client's options; when formal legal advice, representation, or tax work is required, it is delivered by licensed attorneys and CPAs in our partner network.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day operations of the Legal Strategy team, which builds the financial and legal analysis behind the Strategic Recovery Roadmap for clients evaluating EIDL resolution, business wind-down, restructuring, asset protection, new business creation, and bankruptcy coordination
• Present the completed Roadmap to clients—lead the working session where the client's financial analysis and strategic options are reviewed in plain language and the recommended path is set, bringing a partner attorney or CPA alongside when formal advice or execution is required
• Personally lead the most complicated roadmap presentations—the cases where complex entity structures, asset protection, tax issues, or unusual loan documentation demand a substantive strategic mind
• Own the line between strategy and execution: EIDLexit builds and presents the strategy; partner attorneys and CPAs execute the formal legal and tax work. Coordinate the handoff cleanly
• Engage with our ever-growing EIDLexit Strategic Partner Network of attorneys and tax professionals to coordinate state-specific guidance and execution for clients nationwide
• Work alongside the Sales team by briefing them on changes (SBA processes, new resolution paths, case patterns) so they can prep clients with current, accurate information
• Aid Sales leadership in converting the rare, complex deal where a substantive legal voice moves the prospect
• Feed Marketing the real client pain points and needs you hear in strategic roadmap discussions—the language clients actually use, the fears they actually carry, the outcomes they actually want
• Help shape messaging, content, and service positioning based on what the data tells us about where the market is moving
• Serve as the internal legal-strategic voice across Marketing, Sales, and Services on questions that touch client communications, service descriptions, and competitive differentiation
• Coordinate with EIDLexit's outside counsel network on matters that exceed internal scope

Qualifications

• Required: JD from an ABA-accredited law school; active license to practice in at least one U.S. state; admission to state and federal court (or at least prior admission to federal bankruptcy court)
• Preferred: Texas bar admission; additional state admissions a plus
• Bankruptcy Experience — Required: Substantive bankruptcy practice experience across personal and business matters (Chapter 7 and Chapter 11). Subchapter V experience particularly valued given our small-business client base. Chapter 13 experience is helpful but not required.
• Additional Experience — Helpful: Any combination of the following deepens the role, but none are required:
• Small business tax experience (state or federal)—income tax, sales tax, 941 payroll taxes, partnership/S-corp returns, or general small-business owner tax issues
• Trust planning or asset protection, 941 payroll taxes, partnership/S-corp returns, or general small-business owner tax issues
