The Role
Lead and build Duetto's legal function: implement AI-enabled legal tooling, advise on AI/ML product and data/privacy issues, architect scalable commercial contracting and governance, support PE-driven exit readiness and M&A, manage global employment and external counsel, and integrate legal with cross-functional leadership to reduce risk and enable growth.
Summary Generated by Built In

Duetto's legal function is a strategic asset — and this role owns all of it. As VP, Legal, you'll serve as a key partner to the CFO, Board, and PE sponsor, building the legal infrastructure that supports the company's growth and exit readiness. This isn't a compliance seat. It's a builder role for someone who treats legal as a high-leverage operating system: scalable, increasingly automated, and held to diligence-ready standards from day one.

What Makes Us Different?

Duetto is the hospitality industry's leading revenue management platform, founded in 2012 by former Wynn Resorts executives who knew the industry needed better technology. We built the world's first Revenue & Profit Operating System — a suite of tools (GameChanger, ScoreBoard, BlockBuster, Advance and more) that goes beyond room pricing to give hotels, resorts and casinos a complete picture of their revenue and profitability. Trusted by clients ranging from independent boutique hotels to global chains, we've been named the #1 Revenue Management Software by HotelTechAwards four years running and the #1 Best Place to Work in Hotel Tech in 2025. Backed by GrowthCurve Capital since 2024, we're accelerating our investment in AI — and we're genuinely passionate about the industry we serve. We build products we're proud of, for customers we care about.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Own the legal AI stack — select, implement, and champion AI-powered tooling for contract review, CLM, policy drafting, and regulatory monitoring, and set the standard for how a modern, lean legal function operates.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering on our ML pricing models, developing and maintaining the legal and ethical framework governing data usage, algorithmic decision-making, and pricing transparency, and becoming an expert on hospitality-related compliance trends to influence our product roadmap.
  • Drive high-velocity global growth by architecting scalable commercial contracting processes and playbooks that empower Sales to close deals efficiently while simplifying processes, reducing exceptions, and maintaining necessary protections.
  • Build exit-readiness into everything we do — operate with a PE mindset, hold our work to diligence-ready standards, and serve as a core member of the corporate functions leadership group, ensuring Legal is deeply integrated with Corp Dev, FP&A, Accounting, and IT to drive cross-functional initiatives, including M&A.
  • Establish and refine corporate governance frameworks by serving as Secretary to the Board of Directors, acting as a proactive steward of corporate hygiene, preparing Board-facing materials, and advising on external governance and compliance trends.
  • Oversee the legal budget and external legal relationships at the company and PE-ownership level, allocating resources across internal/external, specialist/generalist, and high/low cost with a bias toward insourcing through technology.
  • Manage employment law across a global workforce, partnering with People Operations on complex employment matters, equity agreements, compensation plan structures, and international workforce compliance across all jurisdictions in which the company operates.
  • Evolve the enterprise risk management function by collaborating with Finance on insurance, tax exposure, and operational risk, with a focus on what materially affects exit valuation.
  • Perform other related duties as needed to support team and company priorities.
What We're Looking For

You may be a good fit if you have:

  • J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school; active bar membership in good standing.
  • 15+ years of related professional legal experience, with substantial experience in high-growth technology companies.
  • Strong executive presence with proficiency in distilling complex legal concepts into actionable takeaways for non-legal business leaders.
  • Deep SaaS commercial expertise: subscription agreements, data processing addenda, API and partner agreements, and enterprise deal structuring.
  • Fluency in AI/ML product legal issues: data licensing, algorithmic accountability, privacy (GDPR, CCPA, and emerging US frameworks), and automated decision-making regulations.
  • Corporate governance experience, including Board Secretary or equivalent.
  • Genuine curiosity about legal technology and AI, with a first-hand point of view about how these tools are changing in-house legal work.

Strong candidates may also have:

  • M&A experience in a PE context.
  • Employment law competency across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Experience with international corporate structures and the related impact on growth velocity and financials (e.g., regulatory/compliance overhead, tax exposure, and workforce management).
  • Background supporting a company through a full PE-to-exit cycle.
Why Duetto?
  • Full ownership of a consequential legal function. This isn't a supporting role inside a large legal team — you'll own the strategy, the technology stack, the compliance roadmap, and the Board relationship. The scope is real and so is the impact.
  • A PE-backed environment built for exit. GrowthCurve Capital acquired Duetto in 2024, and the work is oriented around what actually matters at exit — diligence readiness, clean governance, and scalable process. You'll be a core part of making that happen.
  • Legal at the frontier of AI. Duetto is an AI-first company, which makes AI governance, algorithmic accountability, and ML product legal issues genuinely central to this role — not theoretical edge cases.
  • Cross-functional influence at the leadership level. You'll sit at the intersection of Legal, Corp Dev, FP&A, Accounting, and IT — partnering with executives who view legal as a growth lever, not a gate.
  • A platform with real complexity. ML-powered pricing models, global enterprise customers, 80+ integration partners, and a globally dispersed workforce mean the legal work is substantive and varied every day.
