Associate General Counsel

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Associate General Counsel based in United States.

This role offers a high-impact opportunity for a commercially minded attorney to join a fast-growing fintech environment where compliance is not just a support function, but a core part of the product and value proposition. You will operate at the intersection of payments, financial services regulation, and commercial contracting, directly advising leadership and cross-functional teams on complex legal and regulatory matters. The position provides immediate ownership across a wide range of issues, from contract negotiation and regulatory advisory work to privacy, data security, and corporate legal support. You will help shape how legal frameworks scale alongside a rapidly expanding product offering used by enterprise clients across North America. Working in a fully remote setup within the United States, you will collaborate closely with sales, product, finance, and external partners. This is a role suited for a pragmatic legal generalist who thrives in ambiguity and wants to build and influence within a lean, high-growth legal team.

Accountabilities:

In this role, you will serve as a key legal partner supporting commercial growth, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance across the organization. You will draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements while advising internal stakeholders on risk and structuring considerations.

Partner with commercial and leadership teams to draft, review, and negotiate customer, partnership, and vendor agreements
Advise on payments regulation, card network rules, and state/federal compliance requirements related to fintech and surcharging models
Support the development and maintenance of internal compliance policies, frameworks, and risk management processes
Provide guidance on privacy, data security, employment-related matters, and other general corporate legal issues
Collaborate with external counsel where needed and ensure efficient, cost-effective legal support
Translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable business guidance for non-legal stakeholders

Requirements:

This role requires a seasoned attorney with strong commercial contracting expertise and deep exposure to financial services or fintech regulatory environments. The ideal candidate is a hands-on legal generalist who can operate independently in a fast-moving, remote-first organization.

J.D. from an accredited law school and active U.S. bar membership in good standing (NY or CA preferred)
5+ years of legal experience, including time at a law firm and/or in-house in fintech, financial services, or payments
Strong experience drafting, negotiating, and managing complex commercial agreements
Solid understanding of payments ecosystems, card network rules, or related regulatory frameworks is highly preferred
Ability to work as a generalist across multiple legal domains in a lean legal team environment
Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify and explain legal risk to business teams
Strong judgment, autonomy, and ability to thrive in a fully remote, fast-paced setting
Experience leveraging modern tools (including AI-enabled workflows) to improve legal efficiency is a plus

Benefits:

Competitive remote compensation package (approximately $140,000–$165,000 USD base range)
Fully remote role within the United States
Opportunity to work at the core of a high-growth fintech focused on payments innovation and compliance
Exposure to complex, high-impact regulatory and commercial legal work
Collaborative, mission-driven culture with strong emphasis on ownership and autonomy
Opportunity to shape and scale an in-house legal function in a rapidly evolving environment
Work with experienced cross-functional teams across product, sales, finance, and compliance
