• Manage the company's legal calendar, including filing deadlines, contract renewals, registrations, and other required actions.
• Support the continued development of efficient and scalable legal processes as the organization grows.
• Identify opportunities to improve legal workflows, templates, documentation, and internal controls.

Outside Counsel Coordination

• Coordinate with outside counsel on matters requiring specialized expertise, including employment, litigation, intellectual property, international matters, regulatory issues, tax-related legal matters, and complex commercial transactions.
• Gather documents and business information necessary for outside counsel to efficiently advise the company.
• Help translate outside counsel guidance into clear internal actions and documentation.
• Track open legal matters, responsibilities, deadlines, and follow-up items.

• Research legal and regulatory questions and coordinate with appropriate subject-matter experts when needed.
• Assist with company policies, compliance initiatives, training, and documentation.
• Partner cross-functionally with People, Finance, Operations, Technology, Sales, and other teams to support business initiatives.
• Identify legal risks and elevate matters requiring broader legal, executive, or outside counsel review.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
• Approximately 4–6 years of relevant legal experience, ideally combining in-house and/or law firm experience.

Contracts move efficiently, corporate records are accurate and accessible, deadlines and obligations are proactively managed, and leaders have clear visibility into outstanding legal matters.

The Associate General Counsel will be expected to exercise sound judgment within established company parameters, execute consistently, and ensure that significant or specialized legal matters are brought forward for appropriate review rather than operating in isolation.
