Overview:
Two Barrels is looking for a General Counsel to join our executive team. This position is based in
the Spokane Area in Washington State, and relocation assistance is available.
This is a new position, so we want someone with experience on the ground. You've got to be business-
oriented with a proven record of achievement. Sure, you look great on paper, but your true strength is
your ability to think on your feet without getting tripped up by legal minutiae. You're known for
solving complex problems with legal acumen and savoir-faire.
You're a leader with the attitude of a team player. You've managed and developed a team of lawyers

leadership style, you can own up to mistakes and admit when you don't have all the answers. You know
that on a team, trust through transparency is key to success.
One of your key strengths is your business savvy: you know when and how to make decisions that will
protect the company and propel it forward. In past positions, you've worked in-house, preferably for a
private company in at least one of the following fields: technology, Software as a Service (SAAS), or
service-based operations.

Why you might like this job:
You're bored without a challenge. As far as you're concerned, "easy" is a dirty word. You thrive in
situations where you're asked to put your legal knowledge to the test and come up with elegant
solutions to complex problems. And yeah, you like to come out on top, so if those solutions involve
using legal strategy to outwit and outmaneuver others, the victory is even sweeter. The Two Barrels
name is inspired by Yosemite Sam, but in the Looney Tunes universe, you're Buggs Bunny, running
circles around the competition.
Like Buggs, you enjoy playing the game, and working at Two Barrels, you'll have ample opportunity to
do just that. We're a private, local company whose primary rivals are huge public entities that don't
mind wasting resources to get ahead. We prefer a tactical approach, and we're not too proud to put the
work in for the win. If you feel the same way, we want you here. We'll provide you with an
environment where your potential is never limited.

What We Do
Two Barrels is a Professional Services as a Product Company. ( A PSAAP - Duh! ) We run our company via product life cycles. We use tech to make amazing products and invest heavily in humans to help our clients with their business services needs.
Two Barrels is family-owned and operated, employs over 650 good humans across the nation, and services over 3 million active businesses nationwide. As we've grown, we've maintained a 95% employee retention rate. We have no debt, no investors, no venture capital, and no private equity.
What does it mean to be family-owned and operated?
Well, it's not perfect. But growth, profits, KPIs, endless investor meetings, warrants, options pools, vesting, or manipulating employees to be indentured servants in exchange for paper shares that won't make you rich, aren't things we have to deal with here.
We try to do good work and see where it goes. That's our actual mission statement. We try to make our customers and our employees happy. We get to focus on that versus making investors happy. We are well aware of competing with startups, and VC and PE-funded, or worse yet, public companies' total compensation packages, so we bring it up. We are different. Our packages include an excellent salary and 401K to buy stock wherever you want. We try to make our overall benefits better each year as we grow. We offer tough challenges—focusing on the journey as the reward, not the finish line. We try to hire people we enjoy being around.
We're not a platform or an AI cool guy place. We're not software as a service/whatever is the cool thing that gives investors a reason to ask for a higher multiple on their next round of stock dilution. Whoops, I mean, investment for the future.
We make business entity compliance tools. We power over 50,000 Professional Services that do registered agent service, corporate filings, VoIP phones, credit card processing, and various tech products. Here's a few examples of industry leaders riding on our backbone:

We made a CRM system but focused on a whole stack of solutions for our business services customers and now we're pretty busy and could use your help. Thanks for looking!
Why Work With Us
A mid sized company servicing millions of clients, employing hundreds, but being family owned and operated with no debt, investors, VC, or PE in the tech space is unique. We offer stability, flexibility, and an opportunity to make a high impact almost immediately. We don't sell data to third parties. We're extremely open source and privacy focused.
