Remote In-House Counsel

Championing Inclusion and Legal Excellence in a Remote World

Introduction

Imagine a legal role that empowers you to make impactful decisions while working in an environment that values compassion, inclusivity, and collaboration. As a Remote In-House Counsel, you'll be a cornerstone of our inclusive workplace, where legal expertise is harmonized with respect, empathy, and a commitment to employee well-being. In this role, you won’t just review contracts or advise on compliance—you’ll play a pivotal role in fostering a culture of trust and fairness across a globally diverse team. With an annual salary of $144,109, this opportunity offers more than just compensation; it provides a sense of purpose.

Our Journey to a Diverse Legal Culture

We're more than just a business—we're a community. From the outset, we have been committed to fostering a culture that celebrates diversity, promotes open dialogue, and supports both professional and personal growth. Our legal team reflects this ethos, providing strategic guidance while advocating for ethical business practices and inclusive decision-making. The stories of our colleagues demonstrate how individuals from diverse backgrounds have not only found a home here but have also thrived.

  • Provide sound legal advice on corporate, regulatory, and operational matters across departments.
  • Draft, revise, and oversee the execution of service agreements, partnership terms, vendor contracts, and confidentiality agreements.
  • Interpret and guide compliance with national and international laws applicable to remote operations and cross-border services.

Collaborative Work Culture

Teamwork and Communication

We thrive on teamwork. As Remote In-House Counsel, your ability to translate complex legal concepts into actionable advice is critical. You'll work with colleagues from operations, product, compliance, and human resources, many of whom come from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. Whether reviewing a policy with our DEI committee or supporting a launch with the product team, your voice will be heard and respected.

Our remote culture is rooted in trust and autonomy. Whether you're working from your home office, a local coworking space, or anywhere else you feel productive, you will be supported by a team that values flexibility and mental well-being. We provide remote collaboration tools that foster transparency, encourage brainstorming, and support peer-to-peer learning. Regular virtual town halls and team chats help everyone stay connected and informed.

Tools and Technology for Success

Legal Tools and Platforms

To make your work seamless and efficient, we provide access to top-tier legal tech platforms, secure communication systems, and AI-powered contract analysis tools. Our integrated work-from-home systems support secure document storage, encrypted collaboration, and real-time policy tracking. You’ll always be equipped with the right technology to protect the company while empowering innovation.
