Amperity is seeking a Head of Legal to lead the legal function and serve as a trusted advisor to the executive team and business leaders. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will set legal strategy and operating model while remaining deeply engaged with the work to understand where risk, friction, and opportunity exist.
You will advise on issues critical to the business—complex enterprise transactions, product development, privacy, AI, employment, corporate matters, partnerships, and strategic decisions. A key focus is establishing a modern, speed-oriented, commercially aligned legal operating model centered around an AI-first strategy. Rather than treating AI as supplemental, you will embed it directly into daily legal operations to streamline research and contract review, uncover key insights and risks, capture institutional knowledge, automate routine tasks, and maximize the impact of a lean team.
Key responsibilities include: making contracting faster and more predictable by setting clear review standards, templates, fallback positions, and escalation paths; building an AI-first legal workflow using AI for research, initial review, drafting, and knowledge retrieval while maintaining confidentiality and accuracy; helping teams make informed decisions by explaining material risks and tradeoffs clearly; turning legal work into business insight by identifying patterns in negotiations, contractual commitments, disputes, and regulatory changes; and scaling the function deliberately by deciding what should be handled internally, supported by outside counsel, automated, or made available through self-service resources.
Success in the first year means earning trust as an advisor who provides clear recommendations and helps decisions move forward, improving the speed and predictability of commercial contracting while maintaining appropriate protections, establishing a legal operating model with clear ownership and approval standards, putting AI-enabled workflows into regular use, and improving visibility into material legal risks and contractual obligations.
Amperity is an AI-first customer data platform that helps brands unify and activate customer data at scale. The company serves over 400 brands including Alaska Airlines, Wyndham Hotels, DICK'S Sporting Goods, Virgin Atlantic, and Brooks Running. The work model is four in-office days per week with one designated remote workday on Wednesdays.
REQUIREMENTS:
- JD and active membership in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar
- Experience leading legal work in an enterprise technology, SaaS, cloud, data, or AI business, including complex commercial transactions
- Ability to advise senior leaders across a broad range of matters, make practical recommendations, and recognize when specialist expertise is needed
- Track record of building or improving legal processes that help a business operate at scale
- Experience using AI in your own work and ability to identify where it improves legal workflows alongside required controls
- Clear communication skills, ability to work effectively across functions, and ability to pair candid advice with ownership of business outcomes
