Description:
Job Overview:We're looking for a nimble and business-minded Product Counsel to work cross-functionally across product, sales, operations, and external partners to help shape and scale a compliance-first product, operational, and sales organization.
This role goes beyond traditional product counsel. As a legal tech company with a deep need for legal expertise, we're looking for someone who can wear many hats. In addition to traditional corporate council responsibilities, this person will also serve as a legal advisor to our operations team on business dissolutions, act as a voice of legal expertise to existing customers, and join technical sales conversations to answer customer legal questions.
You should feel comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, collaborating across teams, and applying legal expertise to a wide range of challenges. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the foundation of a company where law and product are deeply intertwined.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support our legal operations team with complex and sensitive aspects of the shutdown experience
- Speak with customers and advise the customer success team when especially sensitive legal questions arise from customers, their investors or third parties involved in the shutdown process
- Support the sales and partnership team with technical legal questions asked by the team, and when necessary, handle technical sales calls directly with prospective customers
- Provide proactive legal support throughout the product lifecycle—from concept to launch and iteration—with a focus on regulatory compliance and risk management.
- Translate legal and regulatory requirements into product policies, documentation, and workflows, especially around entity dissolution, state filings, investor communications, and tax wrap‑ups.
- Collaborate with product and design teams to ensure user flows: dashboard, notifications, and document generation are legally sound and transparent.
- Engage with regulators and stay current on business‑dissolution laws across U.S. jurisdictions to embed the most up-to-date compliance into our platform.
- Review and negotiate third‑party contracts, vendor agreements, and partnerships.
- Develop internal best practices, training, and product playbooks aligned with legal standards and user needs.
Qualifications:
- JD (US law license, active or in‑good‑standing).
- 3+ years legal experience in-house or at a law firm, preferably in legal‑tech, compliance, corporate governance or consumer SaaS.
- Strong understanding of corporate dissolution, state filings, securities/investor distribution, data privacy, and fintech regulations.
- Excellent communicator: can break down complex regulatory concepts into clear, actionable guidelines.
- Detail‑oriented with strong drafting skills in policies, terms of service, disclosures, and product documentation.
- Startup resilience: comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.
