This is not an incremental legal hire. It's a build-from-zero seat.

You will own the full legal stack — corporate, compliance, employment, IP, litigation, regulatory, and commercial — and serve as a strategic partner to the executive team. You won't inherit a pre-built function. You'll architect it.

Success in this role means:

• Acting as DRI on the company's most sensitive initiatives
• Helping leadership move faster while strengthening risk discipline

The title is flexible and may include General Counsel for the right candidate.

• Act as strategic advisor to the CEO on negotiations, disputes, and sensitive matters
• Build and scale Owner's Legal function as its first full-time legal hire
• Serve as DRI on litigation strategy, regulatory posture, and complex commercial agreements
• Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure new products and pricing models are built with compliance and risk minimization in mind
• Design scalable systems across contracting, compliance, governance, privacy, employment, and IP
• Manage outside counsel across corporate, regulatory, employment, and litigation matters
• Support fundraising, board matters, corporate governance, and investor communications
• Proactively identify legal risk areas and implement preventive frameworks

About You

• 8–10+ years of legal experience across law firm and in-house environments
• Broad, "full-stack" experience across commercial, corporate, compliance, IP, employment, and litigation oversight
• Builder mentality — energized by creating structure from scratch
• Strong executive presence and business judgment
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
• Able to partner closely with product and engineering teams
• Motivated to scale and eventually build a Legal team

Compensation

$250,000 – $325,000

Owner is open to increased compensation at the General Counsel level and may stretch beyond the posted range for the right candidate.

Perks

Comprehensive health coverage, Bay Area-based remote flexibility, unlimited PTO, and additional growth-stage benefits.
