[Hiring] Senior Counsel @Rex

Role Description

Rex is seeking a hands-on Senior Counsel, licensed in Florida, to put legal firepower behind a fast-growing ecosystem across private equity, property management, insurance, and tech. This role is anchored by three core mandates:

• Drive capital transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings, and loan modifications and restructurings with debt funds and banks.
• Own high-volume contracting, entity work, multi-state compliance, and operational legal support for property management, construction, and insurance.
• Create leverage through litigation strategy, patent and IP execution, and smarter use of outside firms.

The ideal candidate has 10 to 15+ years of experience spanning top-tier private practice and in-house leadership at a real estate sponsor, private equity fund, or high-growth platform. This is a leadership seat within the legal function, and it is not for the “don’t do this, don’t do that” lawyer.

Qualifications

• 10 to 15+ years of legal experience spanning top-tier private practice and in-house leadership at a real estate sponsor, private equity fund, or high-growth platform.
• Active member in good standing of The Florida Bar.
• Deep experience in commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, financing, and closings.
• Proven record negotiating refinancings, loan modifications, restructurings, and workouts with debt funds, banks, and agency lenders.
• Strong command of contracting, entity structuring, and governance for funds and operating companies.
• Working knowledge of multi-state compliance across real estate, property management, construction, and insurance.
• Experience directing litigation strategy and managing outside counsel to cost-effective outcomes.
• Exposure to patent and IP matters for technology products, with the ability to execute or direct filings and protection.
• Track record of displacing outside legal spend by building in-house capability.
• Business leader first and attorney second, with an owner’s mindset, high urgency, and a bias toward pragmatic execution over legal jargon.
• Problem solver and bottleneck remover who leads with “here’s how we get this done.”
• Comfortable operating as a hands-on builder with high autonomy.
• Mission-driven and deeply aligned with stewardship, investor trust, and the belief that great business can catalyze human flourishing.

Requirements

• Must be missionary to the bone, driven by transcendent impact, with money following as a byproduct of excellence.
• Fully remote. Florida Bar membership required.

Benefits

• Base Salary: Commensurate with experience and market standards.
• Opportunity for performance-based bonus and/or equity in deals and funds.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company matching.
• Fully remote work environment.
