This hire will report to the Head of Legal and will play a key role in supporting all legal matters for the company.

In this role, you will be responsible for tracking and triaging a large number of projects at any given time. We are seeking a candidate who is equally comfortable prioritizing velocity or meticulous attention to detail, as circumstances merit, and who possesses a strong instinct for how to effectively balance these competing priorities. The ideal candidate can excel in diverse working environments—whether that means following detailed guidance or taking initiative on large, open-ended projects. This role will touch on a variety of legal areas, from traditional commercial work to compliance/product-related projects, so we’re also looking for someone who can learn quickly and views new challenges with excitement rather than intimidation.

Requirements

  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree (or foreign equivalent) from a top law school
  • Admitted to practice law in New York State with good standing, or willing and able to waive in to New York
  • ~2-4 years of legal experience at a top firm involving diverse corporate work
  • Ability to effectively and clearly communicate with customers and other outside parties
  • Strong legal drafting skills
  • Ability to parse and distill complex statutes and regulations
  • Strong researcher–demonstrated ability to reliably and thoroughly source data/information, interpret such information and augment with necessary context, and provide actionable recommendations or guidance to decision makers
  • Highly organized
  • rigorous attention to detail
  • Sufficient mathematical aptitude and financial literacy to effectively partner with Sales and Finance
  • Comfortable both owning deadlines with minimal supervision and taking instruction/working in close partnership with others
  • Enthusiastic, can-do approach
  • excited to work hard at a fast-growing startup
  • Has a startup mindset, strong sense of ownership, and a proper balance of quality and sense of urgency
  • Willingness to work in person at NYC headquarters 4-5 days a week

What we offer

  • Equity in the company
  • Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
  • Fully paid parental leave
  • Commuter benefits
  • 401k benefits
  • Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters

  • Admitted to practise law in NSW, Australia with a current practising certificate, and have around ~2–4 years' PQE
  • Trained somewhere that held you to a high standard, and spent most of your time on commercial, tech, data, consumer-credit or regulatory work
  • Worked in or alongside an in-house team (secondments count), so you're comfortable with ambiguity, limited supervision and speed
  • Negotiated commercial contracts end-to-end, directly with the other side and ideally without someone checking your work before it goes out
  • Built things other people use, such as playbooks, templates, automation and training
  • Use AI fluently and with discipline: fast, but you check what it gives you
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Own commercial contracting. End-to-end ownership of vendor, SaaS, supplier, referral, integration, collaboration and data-sharing agreements. Negotiate the ones that need a lawyer directly with the other side, keep vendor terms commercial without dropping Brighte’s protections, and make sure the DOA is followed and the right sign-offs are in place before anything is signed
  • Keep customer and product documentation right. Own the customer-facing credit and product documents, keep them current and aligned with consumer-credit regulation, coordinate origination-system updates with Product, and give fast, practical sign-off on disclosures and marketing within your authority
  • Partner with Risk & Compliance. Turn regulatory change into operational obligations and controls across responsible lending, design and distribution, privacy and consumer data. Support engagement with regulators and industry bodies, and run point on the occasional dispute, complaint or AFCA matter
  • Make fewer matters need a lawyer, and build self-serve capability. Sharpen templates, playbooks and thresholds, supervise AI-assisted review, run legal intake through Jira, and surface clear MI on what Legal is carrying. When the same question reaches you twice, fix the cause behind it rather than answering it again. Run targeted training so the business gets more right without you
  • Work AI-first. We’re serious about AI, and serious about doing it properly. In legal, judgement beats volume so you’ll use AI fluently to draft, review, summarise and triage, but you verify against the source (the legislation, the contract, the file), protect what’s privileged and confidential, and own every output
