Job description
The role:We are looking to add a high impact Counsel, Commercial and Compliance to Curri's legal department, to support our continued growth by strengthening our commercial contracting and compliance programs. This role will sit at the intersection of legal, business, and operations, partnering closely with leaders across the company to manage risk, enable commercial execution, and build scalable legal and compliance processes.
The ideal candidate is a practical, business-oriented lawyer who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment and collaborating with business partners to implement practical programs and solutions that add value to Curri's business. As the second lawyer to join the company, the ideal candidate will need to be a generalist and prepared to assist wherever most helpful, but the role will also play a key part in shaping how Curri approaches commercial contracting, compliance, and risk management with enormous career opportunities for the right individual as the company scales.
This position reports directly to the Chief Legal Officer and offers meaningful ownership, broad exposure to the business, and the opportunity to play a key role in building Curri's legal foundation for long-term growth.
What you will do:
- Provide legal support across the organization to improve and scale Curri's commercial and compliance programs.
- Manage Curri's commercial contracting processes, including contract templates, playbooks, and workflows, and managing Curri's contract database through a CLM solution.
- Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including customer, vendor, partner, and technology agreements.
- Serve as a trusted legal partner to cross-functional teams including Sales, Operations, Finance, Product, and People.
- Research and analyze legal and regulatory issues relevant to Curri's business and industry
- Develop and help implement compliance, risk management, and governance frameworks that address key risks as Curri scales.
- Actively manage compliance development programs, using legal research to create work plans, identify key stake holders to collaborate with, and manage execution of work plans through to completion.
- Translate legal analysis into clear, practical, and actionable guidance for business stakeholders.
- Support continuous improvement of legal processes, documentation, and internal controls.
- Identify opportunities to proactively mitigate legal and compliance risk while enabling business objectives.
- Manage outside counsel as needed and support special projects and strategic initiatives across the business.
What you need to have:
- Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and licensed to practice law in California
- 3–7 years of experience at a law firm and/or in-house legal role (combination preferred)
- Strong experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts
- Expert legal research, analysis, and writing skills
- Ability to operate independently with a high ownership mindset in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and communicate effectively with non-legal stakeholders
- Highly self-motivated, well-organized, and an effective self-manager
- Exceptional ability to translate legal risk and analysis into practical, business-oriented solutions
Bonus points for:
- Experience in the gig economy or transportation industry
- Experience working in a high-growth startup or rapidly scaling environment
- Exposure to technology-enabled, marketplace, or operations heavy business models
- Able to work in person at HQ Ventura
