A fast-growing fintech company is hiring an Associate Counsel to join its small legal team in Austin.
The full job description covers all associated skills, previous experience, and any qualifications that applicants are expected to have.
This is a broad in-house role, but it's not a generic junior lawyer opening. The strongest candidates will have hands-on experience with commercial contracts, technology transactions, product counselling, fintech/regulatory work, or company-side startup / venture-backed clients.
You will work across:
- NDAs, evaluation agreements, data licences and commercial contracts
- Product and regulatory counselling
- Legal operations and high-volume legal process improvement
- Cross-functional legal support for commercial, product and leadership teams
- AI-enabled legal workflows and internal efficiency projects
The company is looking for someone who can draft, redline, negotiate and think commercially. You do not need to be a finished product, but you do need real legal reps that translate into a fast-moving fintech environment.
The ideal profile:
- 1-3 years’ post-JD legal experience
- Current or recent private practice or in-house legal experience
- US law school JD
- Active bar admission in at least one US jurisdiction
- Austin-based or genuinely willing to relocate, ideally with Texas ties
- Experience in one or more of: commercial contracts, tech transactions, fintech/regulatory, product counselling, ECVC, emerging companies, venture-backed clients, software/SaaS, data licensing or broader startup legal work
- Strong drafting, redlining and negotiation skills
- High attention to detail, accountability and on-time delivery
- Ambitious, low ego and comfortable taking ownership early
This is a rare opportunity for a junior lawyer to join as the fourth member of a legal team at a serious fintech business, with direct senior legal exposure and much broader responsibility than a typical 1-3 year role.
Compensation: $130,000-$180,000 base plus equity.
Hybrid in Austin. Relocation may be considered for the right candidate. xywuqvp
This will suit someone who wants earlier ownership and a broader legal platform.
