Legal Counsel (Contract)

Back to jobs Legal Counsel (Contract) US Remote (SF Bay Area preferred) Apply Location: US Remote, preference San Francisco Bay Area About super{set} super{set} is a company builder that founds, funds, and builds data and AI-native startups. We’re not a traditional VC, we co-found and build alongside product-driven founders from ideation through scale, providing hands-on support and seed funding from day one. You’ll join a lean, high-output team of experienced builders who have founded, built, and scaled companies from the ground up. They bring grit, humility, and unapologetic nerdiness to solving hard problems. The learning curve is vertical. The Role We’re looking for a practical, hands-on Legal Counsel to support super{set} and its portfolio companies across day-to-day corporate and commercial legal work. This is a role for an attorney who can independently handle routine-to-moderate legal matters, keep work moving, and exercise good judgment about when an issue can be handled directly and when it requires more senior counsel. You’ll work closely with the super{set} team, portfolio founders, investors, and external advisors across a range of legal and corporate matters. You’ll take ownership of recurring legal workflows and help make the day-to-day legal function more efficient, while more complex and strategic matters are handled with senior counsel. The role is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys being close to the business, solving practical problems, and having meaningful ownership without needing to be the most senior lawyer in the room. Why This Role Matters The legal work behind a growing company is rarely just about answering legal questions. It is about helping the business move quickly without creating problems that surface later. A well-structured company is easier to finance. Clean equity records prevent painful surprises. A well-negotiated contract protects the business without unnecessarily slowing a deal. Good legal processes mean founders spend less time figuring out how to navigate recurring issues and more time building their companies.

At super{set}, you’ll work across these decisions at the point where they are actually happening. You’ll see a wide range of legal and operational questions across companies at different stages, and you’ll have the opportunity to bring practical judgment to each one. You’ll also help create leverage. When the same question comes up twice, there should be a better answer the second time. Whether that means improving a template, creating a playbook, tightening a workflow, or simply establishing a better default, you’ll help make the legal function more efficient over time. WHAT YOU’LL OWN Corporate & Company Matters - Support company formations, entity management, governance, and ongoing corporate housekeeping across super{set} and its portfolio. - Prepare and manage routine corporate documents, filings, resolutions, and related materials. - Maintain organized corporate records and identify issues that require attention. - Coordinate with outside counsel on matters requiring specialized expertise. Commercial Contracts - Draft, review, and negotiate NDAs, employee agreements, vendor agreements, customer agreements, and other routine commercial contracts. - Maintain and improve standard contract templates. - Help business teams move agreements through review and execution efficiently. - Use sound commercial judgment to distinguish between standard issues and matters that require escalation. Fundraising & Transactions - Support fundraising, financing, and other transactions across the portfolio. - Assist with diligence, document review, closing processes, and coordination with investors and outside counsel. - Help keep legal workstreams organized and moving toward completion.
