Head of Legal

US Remote 

Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded consumers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfil this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.

The Role

Slice is looking for an experienced and highly versatile legal leader to join its growing team as Head of Legal. This role will lead the company’s legal function and serve as a trusted, business-first advisor to senior leadership across a broad range of commercial, corporate, regulatory, and strategic matters. We are looking for a true generalist who thrives in ambiguity, exercises strong judgment in balancing risk and growth, and enables the business to move quickly and decisively. The Head of Legal will play a key role in strengthening our legal strategy, taking a pragmatic approach to risk, and supporting Slice’s continued growth and innovation. 

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide strategic, pragmatic legal counsel to executive leadership, with a focus on enabling business outcomes while thoughtfully managing risk
  • Lead the drafting, review, and negotiation of a wide range of commercial agreements, including SaaS contracts, licensing agreements, marketing partnerships, and complex vendor agreements
  • Develop and oversee a scalable legal strategy, policies, and processes that support rapid growth without unnecessary friction
  • Build, manage, and scale a lean, high-impact legal function
  • Take a practical, solutions-oriented approach to identifying and managing legal and regulatory risks across the organization
  • Partner cross-functionally to accelerate business initiatives while maintaining appropriate, right-sized compliance and controls
  • Oversee intellectual property strategy and dispute management with a focus on efficient, outcome-driven resolution
  • Advise on corporate governance matters and support leadership on board-related topics as needed
  • Drive scalable frameworks that empower teams to make decisions confidently and quickly

The Winning Recipe

This role requires a builder, operator, and true generalist - someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who is comfortable taking calculated risks and making decisions with imperfect information.

  • 10+ years of relevant legal experience, including significant experience advising high-growth companiesJ.D. from a highly reputable law school and admitted to at least one state bar
  • Top-tier law firm experience strongly preferred, with in-house leadership experience highly valued
  • Demonstrated ability to balance legal risk with commercial objectives and operate effectively in fast-moving environments
  • Strong business judgment and ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance
  • Comfortable owning a wide range of legal areas (commercial, regulatory, corporate) without narrow specialization
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to influence senior stakeholders
  • Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable operating in ambiguity with a bias toward action
  • Highly effective problem-solver who can collaborate across all levels of the organization

  • Flexible PTO
  • Market leading medical, vision and dental insurance
  • 401K matching up to 4%
  • Monthly wellness reimbursement/stipend
