About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Run commercial deals and answer regulatory and product questions associated with a payments platform in a regulated market.
Handle the everyday legal needs of a fast-growing company mostly on your own judgment.
Work autonomously, partner directly with teams, and escalate genuinely novel, high-risk, or strategic matters.
Serve as the dedicated legal partner to a portfolio of product and business teams.
Advise 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.
Own and continuously improve contract templates, playbooks, and legal processes.

Requirements

What you’ll need

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.
JD from an accredited law school and an active license to practice law in at least one US state.
A track record of operating independently, owning matters end to end, and being trusted to make and defend judgment calls with limited oversight.
Strong command of technology and commercial contracting, with the instinct to balance risk and speed.
Comfort moving across commercial, regulatory, privacy, corporate, and employment questions, and the resourcefulness to get smart fast on something unfamiliar.
A practical, solutions-oriented style; you make complex issues clear to non-lawyers and are known as an enabler, not a gatekeeper.
You do your best work with incomplete information, competing priorities, and a fast-moving business.
Exposure to payments or fintech regulation (money movement, processor or card-network rules) is nice to have.
Familiarity with healthcare, wellness, or other regulated consumer industries is nice to have.
Privacy experience (CCPA/CPRA, GDPR) beyond contract-level data terms is nice to have.
Experience as an early or sole in-house attorney at a high-growth company is nice to have.
