Interim General Counsel

The Company is seeking an Interim General Counsel to serve as its primary day-to-day legal resource and provide practical legal and business guidance to senior leadership and the board. Responsibilities include advising on California employment and labor matters, supporting HR, and drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements. The role also covers corporate governance, transaction support, disputes and litigation, outside counsel oversight, and regulatory, consumer, privacy, and data security matters. The General Counsel will strengthen legal policies and processes while independently managing a broad range of work in a lean legal environment. Candidates should have substantial senior in-house or General Counsel experience and the breadth to act as the primary legal resource for a small or mid-sized business. Strong knowledge of California employment law, experience partnering with HR, and commercial contracting expertise—including customer and vendor agreements—are required. Applicants should also bring corporate governance and board experience, along with a background managing outside counsel, litigation, claims, and disputes. Sound business judgment, executive presence, independence, and the ability to turn legal issues into actionable advice are essential; experience in consumer-facing industries, transactions, regulatory compliance, or interim legal leadership is preferred.
