About The Role:

We are hiring a seasoned, legally trained operator to own the company's administrative, compliance and legal-coordination work end to end. The role combines compliance officer, project manager, corporate operations and legal coordinator, close to an administrative officer. This is a builder role, not a rule-follower role. Leadership sets the direction and the goal; this person designs the process, routes it across departments and makes sure it gets done. A law degree is valued for judgment, but the role does not draft complex legal documents.

What You'll Do:

Legal coordination and outside counsel management

• Manage the company's outside counsel relationships across workstreams: vendor contracts and leases, employment, corporate matters, warehouse facilities and the 52-state loan document set.
• Make sure no outside counsel work starts without a signed engagement letter.
• Review, challenge and negotiate outside counsel invoices, and track hours against scope.
• Decide when a matter needs outside counsel and when it can be handled in-house.

First-pass legal and contract review

• Review routine agreements, leases and vendor contracts, including contract renewals and exits.
• Understand the commercial and legal issues in capital markets agreements (for example MLPAs) and flag risks early.
• Make sure every agreement gets a knowledgeable review before signature.

Process ownership and project management

• Lead transactions and agreements to completion, working with counsel and internal stakeholders so nothing stalls.
• Design and run onboarding workflows for counterparties: document collection, background checks, record storage, and legal and capital markets sign-off.
• Turn leadership's direction into written checklists, routing and clear handoffs.

Corporate administration and cross-department coordination

• Define who owns each administrative and compliance task, such as entity renewals and corporate filings.
• Coordinate across departments to get administrative, compliance and risk work done on time.
• Build and maintain the policies, procedures and records that make these processes repeatable.

Qualifications:

• Law degree (JD) strongly preferred, ideally with compliance, corporate or commercial experience.
• Seasoned professional with a record of building processes from scratch in a growing organization.
• Sound judgment on the commercial and legal implications of agreements.
• Highly organized, with strong project management and follow-through.
• Able to build working relationships and influence stakeholders across departments and with outside counsel.
• Self-directed: takes a goal and builds the plan without step-by-step direction.
• Financial services or lending experience is a plus.
