Associate General Counsel

What You’ll Do

• Own the full legal function at GlossGenius, covering commercial contracts, corporate governance, employment, data privacy, and regulatory compliance
• Serve as the primary legal partner to the CEO, CBO, and the entire exec team, proactively advising on strategic initiatives, partnerships, intellectual property, trademark protection and the day-to-day decisions that enable the growth of the business
• Draft, negotiate, and close a wide range of agreements including enterprise contracts, vendor deals, partnership agreements, and financing-related documents
• Build the legal infrastructure that scales with us: contract templates, playbooks, approval workflows, and internal policies that give the business speed and confidence
• Advise on employment and people matters, serving as a trusted resource as the company scales and the complexity of our workforce grows
• Manage outside counsel strategically, with an eye toward keeping spend efficient and outcomes sharp
• Shape our approach to the legal and regulatory considerations surrounding AI products and data, as we continue building deeply AI-native capabilities
• Lead the transformation of legal operations by identifying where AI systems and tools can eliminate low-leverage work, accelerate contract review and drafting, and make the function meaningfully more efficient at scale

What We’re Looking For

• JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership (NY preferred)
• 10+ years of legal experience, with meaningful time at a top-tier law firm and in-house at a high-growth tech company

• Strong commercial instincts and the ability to give the business clear, decisive guidance without a lot of back-and-forth
• Deep familiarity with the evolving legal landscape around AI, including IP, data licensing, model usage, and regulatory considerations
• Already using AI tools across your whole workflow and able to use them to meaningfully change how you’re running a legal team of the future
• Low ego, high ownership mentality — you're the most senior legal voice here and you're still happy to be hands-on
