About the role

We are looking for a savvy and experienced transactional lawyer to provide business friendly legal solutions while effectively balancing and minimizing risk. You’ll partner closely with our legal & business teams to negotiate all kinds of commercial agreements, provide legal and regulatory advice, develop & implement processes, and much more. Responsibilities will include:

  • Provide business-focused, creative solutions to complicated legal problems
  • Draft, review and negotiate contracts for all areas of the business, including partnerships, licensing, technology, food related matters, hardware and software, engineering, supply chain and marketing
  • Research, understand and explain regulatory issues relating to advertising, food, vehicles, and others   
  • Review and advise on compliance of marketing assets and product designs
  • Manage our intellectual property portfolio
  • Develop and provide training sessions for business teams
  • Collaborate with business colleagues, compliance team and other lawyers and legal staff

The experience you have

  • 2-6 years of experience in sophisticated commercial/transactional matters. Experience in a wide variety of areas will be considered – product/technology, marketing, licensing, regulatory and/or corporate.
  • Preferably a mix of law firm and in-house experience
  • Undergraduate Degree and Juris Doctor from top schools
  • Bonus points for:
    • experience at a high-growth startup or technology company, or with food, hospitality or e-commerce
    • familiarity with corporate processes like equity programs, fundraising & diligence

The way you work

  • You’re comfortable owning projects from start to finish with minimal oversight and capable of manage multiple, competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • You embrace projects large and small – yes, even those boilerplate contracts must (unfortunately) be reviewed
  • You have a passion for learning and the law and you’re not afraid to step outside of your comfort zone
  • You’re willing to admit when you don’t know the answer, and then work extra hard to figure it out
  • You’re able to function in chaos, make decisions quickly, and be confident in your own judgment
  • You’re a great communicator who can translate complicated legal concepts into plain English for non-lawyers
  • You take your job seriously, but you have a great sense of humor and you value being part of a close-knit team

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary package including equity and 401K with matching. Additionally, we provide multiple medical, dental, and vision plans to meet all of our employees' needs as well as many benefits and perks that are not listed.
