Head of Legal

About this opportunity

We are looking to hire a Head of Legal to be our legal team. You'll own the commercial agreements that power our partnerships, keep the company ahead of a complex and evolving regulatory landscape, and serve as a trusted advisor to product and leadership teams alike. You'll also support our board and handle the full spectrum of day-to-day legal work — from employment questions to managing outside counsel on litigation — as a true partner to the business.

This role reports to our CFO.

What you'll do

• Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, including partnership deals, vendor contracts, SaaS arrangements, and licensing agreements
• Own the company's compliance posture across applicable regulatory frameworks, including data privacy, fair housing, consumer protection, and residential rental regulations; monitor the regulatory landscape and advise leadership on emerging obligations
• Provide support in connection with board meetings, including preparing board materials, drafting resolutions, and managing board communications; partner with finance and leadership on corporate structuring, fundraising, and investor-related legal matters
• Serve as the day-to-day legal partner to the product and engineering teams; advise on feature development, consumer-facing policies, IP considerations, and platform risk before issues arise
• Advise on employment matters in partnership with the People team; manage and coordinate outside counsel on litigation and disputes; develop and maintain legal playbooks, templates, and intake processes

Who you are

• JD from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with at least one state bar
• 5+ years of legal experience—law firm, in-house, or a combination of both
• Meaningful commercial contracts experience: you've negotiated complex agreements and can move fast without sacrificing quality
• Experience supporting a board of directors—preparing materials, drafting resolutions, and managing board communications
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate legal complexity into clear guidance for non-lawyers
• Comfortable working with significant autonomy in a lean, fast-moving environment
• Experience in SaaS, real estate, proptech, or a two-sided marketplace business
• Familiarity with venture-backed companies, litigation, and M&A processes
