Benefits
Pathify is seeking a hands-on General Counsel to own the legal function end-to-end and build a scalable legal foundation that supports growth. This role partners closely with the CFO and executive team to manage risk and enable revenue across commercial contracting, privacy/data governance (including AI-enabled features), employment (US and Australia), and corporate/equity matters.
This is a practical “player-coach” role: you’ll do the work, set standards, implement internal processes, and selectively leverage outside counsel for specialist topics.
Key Responsibilities
- Own Pathify’s legal strategy, operating rhythm, and risk framework (including a pragmatic risk register).
- Set clear internal processes for legal review, approvals, escalation, and recordkeeping.
- Provide practical, business-oriented advice to executive leadership and functional leaders.
- Lead customer contracting (MSAs, order forms, amendments, DPAs/security exhibits, procurement terms).
- Create and maintain templates, accepted edits library, and negotiation playbooks to improve speed and consistency.
- Establish an intake process and service levels for contract review so support is predictable, not ad hoc.
- Support vendor and partner agreements as required.
3) Privacy, data protection, and product counsel
- Own Pathify’s privacy and data protection posture across customer and end-user contexts.
- Ensure product and customer-facing terms/policies remain aligned to product capabilities, including AI-enabled functionality.
- Partner with Security/Engineering/Product to translate legal requirements into implementable controls (retention, deletion, access controls, audit/logging, vendor management).
- Manage regulatory requirements relevant to Pathify’s markets (e.g., GDPR and education-related privacy/data requirements), coordinating with specialists as needed.
- Maintain corporate governance hygiene for the Delaware parent and Australian subsidiary, including Board/stockholder consents, delegated authorities, subsidiary oversight, and required filings (via outside counsel where appropriate).
- Partner with the CFO and external advisors on corporate structure decisions supporting growth, fundraising, and cross-border operations.
- Own the legal documentation underpinning cross-border operations (intercompany services agreements, IP licensing arrangements, cost allocations, and related policies), aligned with finance operations and external tax strategy.
- Coordinate with tax advisors on transfer pricing workstreams by ensuring appropriate contracts, governance, and evidence are in place to support the intended tax treatment.
- Provide legal support on tax-adjacent matters (e.g., employee mobility, permanent establishment risk, withholding concepts), partnering with Finance and specialists.
- Maintain and improve employment templates and policies, ensuring local compliance across all jurisdictions where Pathify employees reside.
- Advise People/Leadership on employment matters, investigations, terminations, and policy interpretation, using local counsel where appropriate.
- Support equity administration legal workstreams (option grants, plan/document updates, 409A coordination, equity-holder support), partnering with Finance and external specialists.
- Establish repeatable processes and documentation standards for cap table and equity-related actions (e.g., Carta workflows).
- Maintain Pathify’s IP hygiene: employee/contractor IP assignment, confidentiality controls, trademark strategy, and brand protection.
- Manage software/legal topics including open-source software (OSS) compliance basics, inbound/outbound licensing terms, and legal review of product releases as needed.
- Lead triage and management of disputes, claims, complaints, and demand letters; oversee outside counsel when needed and keep matters tracked and decision-ready.
- Serve as legal lead for security/privacy incident response (with Security/IT), including notifications and customer/regulator communications.
- Partner with the CFO/Finance team on risk mitigation via insurance (D&O, EPLI, cyber, etc.), aligning contract risk allocation with coverage and supporting claims management.
- Build and maintain a “minimum viable” compliance program appropriate for a scaling SaaS company (code of conduct, key policies, training cadence, reporting mechanism, records retention/legal hold).
- Build a contract/document repository and simple tracking for obligations, renewals, and key terms.
- Manage outside counsel efficiently with clear scopes, budgets, and deliverables.
- Create “self-serve” legal enablement for teams where appropriate (guides, FAQs, training, templates).
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- JD (or equivalent) and active bar membership in at least one US jurisdiction.
- 8–12+ years of relevant corporate legal experience.
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior “generalist specialist” across commercial, privacy/data, and corporate matters.
- Strong drafting, negotiation, and issue-spotting skills with a high standard of thoroughness.
- Experience supporting a US company with cross-border operations (especially US + Australia).
- Familiarity with privacy frameworks relevant to higher education (e.g., GDPR) and regulated-data environments.
- Product counsel exposure for software with higher-risk features (including AI/ML).
- Comfort working with equity compensation concepts and processes (in partnership with Finance and specialists).
- Colorado-based (or deep familiarity with the Colorado employment/compliance landscape), ideally with experience supporting Colorado teams.
- High thoroughness + high pace: moves quickly without cutting corners.
- Commercial judgment: balances risk with growth; offers options, not roadblocks.
- Clear communication: translates legal complexity into actionable decisions.
- Operational mindset: builds lightweight systems that scale (templates, playbooks, workflows).
- Cross-functional partner: trusted collaborator with Finance, Product, Security, Sales, and People.
