We're growing fast — both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.
About the Role
We're looking for a detail-oriented, business-savvy senior counsel to join our legal team in a supporting role across commercial and corporate matters. You'll work closely with our finance and business teams to move deals forward, keep corporate housekeeping in order, and handle a steady volume of substantive legal work with minimal hand-holding.
This is a great fit for someone who is ready to own a real workload in a fast-moving environment.
What You'll Do
- Support the commercial team across a wide range of agreements — M&A, financings, NDAs, vendor and services contracts, data licensing arrangements, and partnership agreements — handling drafting and negotiation across the full deal lifecycle
- Work alongside senior commercial counsel on more complex or strategic deals, taking on meaningful portions of the work rather than just administrative tasks
- Assist with entity maintenance, board and governance matters, and general corporate projects as they arise
- Help maintain and improve contract templates and internal processes
- Serve as a reliable, responsive resource for the business teams you support
What We're Looking For
- JD and admitted to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
- Roughly 5-6 years of experience with a mix of firm and in-house time (one year or more in-house required)
- Ability to work through a contract efficiently, with enough deal exposure to have developed good instincts
- Comfortable operating without a lot of direction once you understand the assignment
- Organized, thorough, and communicative — you take ownership of your workload and follow through without needing to be chased
- Genuinely interested in the substance of what the business does, not just the contracts sitting on top of it
- (Plus) Background in fintech, crypto, tech, or a similarly fast-paced or regulated industry
- (Plus) Familiarity with data agreements, API or platform terms, or marketplace business models
Benefits
- Competitive salary & equity
- Unlimited PTO
- Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
- 401k match
- Hardware setup — new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
