The Opportunity
Wyze is seeking a senior, business-minded legal generalist to join our legal team as Associate General Counsel.

- Deliver practical, business-oriented guidance that enables informed decisions while appropriately managing legal and reputational risk
- Influence and partner effectively across functions and levels, with the judgment, candor and conviction to speak up on important issues
- Build scalable legal support through practical training, templates, tools, and guidance that help the business move faster and operate responsibly
- Manage outside counsel thoughtfully and efficiently with a strong sense of the business’ priorities
- Operate with strong ownership across both strategic and operational work in a lean legal function

- Significant experience as a business attorney, including both strong law firm training and meaningful in-house counseling experience
- Substantial experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex commercial agreements

- Exceptional business judgment and the ability to assess risk in nuanced, ambiguous, and high-stakes situations
- Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and drive matters to resolution with minimal oversight
- Strong executive presence and the ability to influence and partner effectively with cross-functional stakeholders at all levels
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex legal analysis into clear, practical, business oriented guidance
- High integrity, sound judgment, and a collaborative approach that builds trust and credibility across the organization
- Comfort thriving in a lean, fast-paced environment with broad responsibility
