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.
