Interim General Counsel

The Company is seeking a General Counsel to lead its legal strategy and function, advising senior leadership and the board while helping the organization grow responsibly. Responsibilities include building and managing a lean legal function and outside counsel relationships; overseeing governance, compliance, contracts, policies, and disputes; and guiding legal matters related to new initiatives, partnerships, and revenue streams. The role also covers complex financial transactions, coordination across multiple legal entities, and intellectual property and technology matters. The General Counsel will develop commercial agreements, advise on employment matters, and use AI tools to improve legal workflows while establishing practical safeguards for responsible use. Candidates should have at least eight years of corporate legal experience, including in-house leadership at a small or midsize organization during a period of growth, and strong transactional and contract expertise. Experience building legal and compliance processes, shaping revenue partnerships, and providing pragmatic, solutions-oriented counsel is important. The role calls for someone equally comfortable with strategic planning and hands-on execution, with familiarity using AI tools and an informed perspective on related legal issues. Applicants must be in good standing with the New York Bar or able to qualify immediately for registered in-house counsel status. Knowledge of nonprofit and benefit corporation structures, technology-sector experience, and familiarity with federal and state regulatory matters are advantageous.
