As Senior Legal Counsel reporting directly to the General Counsel, you will be the GC's primary partner across the full spectrum of legal matters at this growth-stage fintech. This is a high-autonomy role requiring fluidity across commercial, product, regulatory, and corporate work.
Key responsibilities include:
• Own the full lifecycle of customer, vendor, and partner agreements (SaaS/API, data licensing, partnerships, procurement), driving deals independently to signature
• Advise engineering and product teams on AI/ML, document automation, data privacy, and financial data handling
• Support compliance with financial services regulations including state lending laws, fair lending, BSA/AML, and emerging AI regulation
• Partner with InfoSec and engineering on data privacy (CCPA, state privacy laws, GLBA), data processing agreements, and incident response
• Manage corporate governance, equity matters, board materials, and general corporate needs
• Select, direct, and manage outside counsel on specialized matters while controlling costs and timelines
• Build and optimize scalable legal processes, piloting AI-powered legal tools to increase team efficiency
• Serve as trusted advisor to business leaders across sales, partnerships, finance, and product
You bring 7+ years of legal experience with meaningful time at both a top law firm and in-house at a technology or financial services company. You have strong commercial contracts expertise (SaaS, API/data licensing, platform agreements), familiarity with financial services regulation and fintech compliance, and practical knowledge of data privacy frameworks (CCPA, GLBA). Experience advising on AI in financial services is a plus.
You demonstrate proficiency with legal AI tools (contract review platforms, AI-assisted research, legal workflow automation) and genuine enthusiasm for integrating technology into legal practice. You operate independently with sound judgment, prioritize competing demands, and deliver practical, business-oriented advice. You move with urgency, make decisions quickly, and drive issues to closure without waiting for direction. You excel at distilling complex legal issues into clear guidance for non-legal stakeholders and thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
