225k – 285kNew York, NYOnsite10+ YOE
Summary

Lead all legal matters at a fast-growing AI SaaS company as the primary counsel to the executive team, covering commercial, corporate, employment, privacy, and regulatory issues.

About the role

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
  • Broad generalist range across commercial, corporate, employment, privacy, and regulatory matters — you're not a one-practice-area lawyer
  • 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

Benefits & Perks

  • Flexible PTO
  • Competitive health & dental insurance options, with premiums partially covered by GG
  • Fertility and adoption benefits via Carrot and Kindbody
  • Generous, fully-paid parental leave policy
  • 401k benefit - employees are eligible to contribute starting day 1 of employment
  • Professional Development - employees receive a yearly stipend for approved learning and educational-related expenses
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Dependent Care FSA
  • Home office support
  • Team Bonding opportunities - annual company retreat for entire team, plus virtual events throughout the year

The base salary for this role is between $225,000 and $285,000 + equity + benefits.
