About The Position

Corporate Counsel, Commercial & Legal Operations It’s a great time to join COMC – Millions of Cards. Endless Joy. Our industry is thriving, and at COMC we’re building a team that’s passionate about using cutting-edge technology to enhance the joy of collecting sports trading cards while expanding into new categories. We’re committed to delighting our customers—collectors, consigners, and enthusiasts alike—by delivering innovative, engaging, and enjoyable experiences at scale. This is a hands-on, generalist attorney role supporting COMC’s General Counsel across a broad range of legal and operational matters. You'll report directly to the GC and you will serve as a key member of a lean legal team, taking ownership of day-to-day legal workstreams while operating in close coordination with the GC in on complex issues, major decisions, and company-wide priorities. The ideal candidate moves fluidly between drafting a vendor contract, building a compliance checklist, standing up an intake process, and advising on an employment matter and knows when to drive a matter independently versus when to escalate to the GC. This is not a traditional law firm role. You'll own your work end-to-end and help build out the legal function of a growing company alongside a GC who's invested in your development.
