Teak is seeking a head of legal to run the company's legal function. This is a generalist in-house role.

You'll be the primary legal point of contact for the business, serving as the go-to resource for legal questions across every department, managing contract flow end-to-end, advising leadership on corporate governance and implementing the board process, overseeing lobbying and regulatory affairs work and working with key outside counsel.

This role suits a pragmatic, hands-on attorney who wants to be part of a broader business team.

Core Responsibilities

Internal Legal Q&A: Act as the first point of contact for legal questions from product, sales, customer success, finance, and other teams, triaging issues and looping in outside counsel where needed.

Day-to-Day Contracting: Own contract lifecycle management across the business, including drafting, redlining, and negotiating commercial, partner, and vendor agreements.

Contract Review: Serve as the primary reviewer for incoming and outgoing agreements, flagging risk and ensuring consistency with company positions and policy.

Governance: Manage the board process end-to-end — meeting preparation, resolutions, consents, and minutes — and serve as corporate secretary.

Lobbying Oversight: Oversee lobbying registrations, disclosures, and compliance obligations across the states and jurisdictions in which Teak operates.

Process Building: Establish scalable processes, templates, and playbooks for all areas of the company that respond to business needs and invite team participation.

Role Requirements

5–15 years of total legal experience, in-house and/or law firm, with a track record of increasing ownership over commercial and corporate matters.

Bonus points if at least a portion of this experience is in a corporation.

Bonus points if you have direct experience in an ecommerce/subscription internet business.

Strong contract drafting, review, and negotiation skills across commercial, partnership, and vendor agreements.

Comfortable fielding a wide range of internal legal questions and knowing when to escalate to outside counsel.

High degree of ownership and resourcefulness; energized by being part of a broader business team vs. looking to build a separate legal empire.

J.D. and active bar license in good standing.

This is a remote position. Travel to Teak hubs in Phoenix, San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, Austin, or Chicago may be required.

Bonus Points

Prior hands-on experience supporting corporate governance and board processes, including service as (or alongside) a corporate secretary.

Familiarity with lobbying registration and disclosure requirements, or the ability to get up to speed quickly.

Prior experience as an in-house generalist at a high-growth startup.
