Counsel

At EquipmentShare, we’re not just filling a role — we’re assembling the best team on the planet to build something that’s never been built before. We’re on a mission to transform an industry that’s been stuck in the past by empowering contractors and communities through innovative technology, real-time support, and a team that truly cares.

We’re hiring a Counsel at our Corporate Headquarters in Columbia, MO and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to grow with us, bring energy and drive to their work, and help us build the future of construction. 

The Counsel will be a sharp, practical attorney, with an entrepreneurial mind-set to join our in-house legal team. You will primarily assist with employment and litigation matters across a fast-scaling publicly traded company. You’ll be a trusted advisor to HR, People Operations, and business leaders, handling day-to-day employment questions while also working on pre-litigation and active litigation matters. This role suits someone who exercises sound judgment with limited information, is nimble with multiple work streams and wants real ownership and visibility early in their career.

• Conduct legal research and analysis on a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to restrictive covenant agreements, leave and benefit regulations, data privacy, and occupational safety inquiries.
• Draft, review, and revise legal documents including contracts, policies, and internal forms.
• Prepare clear, well-organized legal memoranda, summaries, charts, and reports.
• Provide timely legal advice to internal stakeholders across multiple departments.
• Manage and prioritize multiple projects with varying deadlines in a fast-moving environment.
• Support efforts to develop and refine forms, templates, workflows, and procedures that enhance departmental efficiency and reduce costs.
• Handle responses to subpoenas, legal pleadings, discovery requests, and other legal documents.
• Identify potential legal and operational risks and propose practical, business-focused solutions.

Whether you’re behind the wheel, under the hood, leading a branch, or closing deals — tech supports you, and you drive us forward.

We’re a team of problem-solvers, go-getters, and builders. And we’re looking for teammates who take pride in doing meaningful work and want to be part of building something special.

You bring grit, heart, and humility to your work, and you’re excited about the opportunity to grow within a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
