We’re on the hunt for a General Counsel, so if you’re in the market for a gig that’s both meaningful and a bit of a brain teaser, you’re in luck! Our operations span the globe and touch every state. We have a lot of legal work and some fun problems to solve. We seek someone who has started their career in a firm, ideally litigation, and then moved into the corporate side and spent 10+ years being the person making the decisions about all things legal.
When we ask you to “share one of your proudest moments”, you don’t have to hesitate, and you’re likely already smiling at how you navigated challenges and outsmarted various entities. You don’t perceive yourself merely as someone confined to a desk; rather, you see yourself as a sharp and resourceful legal professional. You aim to be at the forefront when it matters most, reaching your objectives even in the face of challenges, regardless of their perceived size, because your intelligence sets you apart.
You’ll be driving a lot of the legal decisions we make and ultimately a major part of those decisions. We’re not looking for a legal prep person to dump a legal brief on our desk and leave the decision in our hands. You’ll be a very trusted partner in how we grow and run our organization. We’re looking for someone to help us be as efficient as possible.

You are tired of feeling like you are a cog in a machine that just keeps turning for the sake of turning, and you want to be in a position that drives positive impact. We aren’t a company of cogs; we are a company of dynamic ideation and being able to drive it to fruition. If you’re looking for that type of environment, you might have just found the right place. Are we perfect? No. However, we are a culture of always finding ways of making things better, so where there is improvement to be made, we want to make it. It’s called having a product mindset, and it’s what we do. You also like an interesting challenge and can find the natural way forward through your street smarts. You hear it a lot here, but we want you to use your street smarts and outwit those who rely too heavily on theory without actual practice. Those people tend to find themselves in constant states of analysis paralysis, and it’s why you probably left a typical law firm in the past. You were tired of trying to convince people of the right way forward and running into walls and red tape, so you ventured out to find something different, and honestly it’s probably why you are reading this… and we hope we are what you are looking for.
