[Hiring] Corporate Counsel @Human Interest

Role Description

As Corporate Counsel, you'll be the second corporate attorney on Human Interest's Legal team, reporting to the Assistant General Counsel, Corporate & Commercial. You'll own a broad slate of corporate, securities, and governance matters as Human Interest scales, and you'll also pitch in on commercial contracting, incident management, and regulatory matters. This is a new seat on a growing team, so the scope below reflects what you'd be working on at the outset, but expect it to evolve along with the company and team.

• Support corporate governance work for Human Interest Inc. and Human Interest Advisors as a primary function, including board and stockholder actions, subsidiary maintenance, and entity records.
• Prepare and support board and committee materials; partner with the Finance team on board and committee preparation logistics, distribution, and tracking.
• Manage the Legal portion of cap table and equity matters, including option grants, 409A coordination, executive compensation, and equity refresh cycles, partnering closely with the Finance and People teams.
• Support corporate finance and transactional activity across various transaction types, including equity, secondary transactions, debt, convertibles, and other sophisticated financing arrangements.
• Build and maintain the governance and transactional playbooks, templates, and processes that allow Legal to scale with the business.
• Support IPO readiness activities.
• Manage outside counsel on corporate and securities matters.
• Lead negotiation and execution of commercial agreements, including NDAs, vendor agreements, data processing agreements, and other contracts as needed.
• Support M&A and other strategic transactions as they arise.

Qualifications

• You hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and are an active member in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar.
• You have 4+ years of corporate and securities experience at a top-tier law firm, with at least one in-house role, preferably at a private, high-growth company.
• You are experienced with a range of corporate transactions: equity, secondary transactions, debt, and other sophisticated financing arrangements.
• You understand cap table mechanics, equity administration, and corporate governance for multi-entity structures.
• Public company reporting and securities compliance experience is a plus.
• You have owned and drafted and negotiated commercial contracts, including NDAs, vendor agreements, data processing agreements, and other transaction types.
• You've integrated AI tools into your legal work and understand how AI should shape contracting, transaction management, and legal operations.
• Experience in regulated industries (fintech, financial services, healthcare, or similar) is preferred.
• You're based in the Pacific or Mountain time zone.
• You're pragmatic and business-minded — risk-aware, not risk-averse — and communicate clearly with both legal and non-legal stakeholders.
