About The Position

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.

Sound legal judgment, including the ability to determine when to handle a matter independently versus when to escalate to the GC
Ability to translate complex legal concepts into practical guidance for non-legal stakeholders across functions (HR, finance, operations, product)
Strong drafting skills across a range of document types, from commercial contracts to internal policies and SOPs
Ability to manage competing priorities and shifting workstreams in a fast-paced, resource-lean environment
Discretion and sound judgment in handling sensitive or confidential matters
Business-minded approach to legal risk, balancing legal protection with practical commercial needs

3+ years of relevant legal experience, including at least some time in-house, at a startup, or in a practice area with heavy transactional and operational exposure
