Description:
This role is built for high-performing law graduates who want a rigorous in-house legal career outside the law firm path. It's also highly hands-on: alongside substantive legal research and review, you'll own recurring compliance and legal operations work and improve the systems and automations behind it. If you succeed, Jerry's leaders make faster, better-informed decisions on legal risk, and you'll have owned work that shapes how the company grows.Why You Will (Or Won't) Like Working Here
- A seat close to the decisions: Your work will help inform important business decisions, and you'll have opportunities to present your analysis and recommendations to Legal and business leaders. You'll need to be comfortable developing a point of view, explaining your reasoning, and incorporating feedback.
- Judgement that grows with experience: Many of the questions you'll take on have no clear precedent. You'll dig into the facts and law, develop a thoughtful recommendation, and bring a clear point of view for discussion and review.
- An in-house path from the start: You'll learn how legal work drives business decisions without spending years at a firm first. There's no large-firm training program here. You'll learn by doing real work, and the faster you pick things up and take initiative, the more responsibility you'll earn.
- Growth that tracks results: You'll work with teammates from companies like Nvidia, Amazon, McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. Promotion is based on performance alone, so strong work moves you forward fast.
What You'll Own
- Legal research and recommendations: Research regulatory, consumer protection, and product questions, and turn your findings into clear recommendations business leaders can act on.
- Escalations and regulatory inquiries: Own complex consumer escalations and regulatory inquiries: find the root cause, identify potential legal issues, propose scalable fixes, and turn recurring issues into company-wide compliance training.
- Product and policy review: Support review of features, flows, and policies with Product, Engineering, and Operations, and translate legal requirements into product and operational decisions.
- Entity compliance: Manage entity compliance across US and Canadian jurisdictions, spotting risks early and building systems that prevent lapses.
- Compliance audits: Lead audits across operations and keep watch on the highest-risk areas between them.
- IP enforcement: Monitor for infringements and support enforcement strategy, including drafting cease-and-desist letters.
- Legal automation: Find repetitive legal work and replace it with AI, low-code, and automated workflows.
Who You Are:
- A Practical Analyst: You can read a regulation, work out what it means for a product decision, and explain it clearly and concisely.
- A Closer: You find the answer yourself before asking for it, and you track every open item until it's resolved.
- A Builder: When you see the same manual task twice, you start looking for a way to automate it.
- A Zero-Error Operator: You handle filings and audits with total precision and keep your own system so no deadline slips.
- A Proactive Communicator: You keep people updated without being chased, flag blockers early, and make sure teammates know what happens next.
- Hands-on and Unpretentious: You're as ready to clean up a tracker or follow up on an overdue item as you are to dig into a difficult legal question.
What You'll Bring
- A JD or LLM, with a record of high academic performance.
- Strong legal research and writing skills, with the ability to turn complex analysis into clear, practical recommendations.
- Strong organization and project-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines at once.
- Demonstrated interest in using AI and technology to improve legal work, such as a tool, automation, or process you built yourself.
