About The Position

Yelp is looking for a clever attorney to join its tight-knit legal team, which supports Yelp in its efforts to connect millions of people with great local businesses. You will support Yelp’s corporate securities and governance practice, but will also have opportunities to work in other legal areas. Although Yelp is a publicly traded company with thousands of employees, it maintains a startup culture and close-knit environment—reflected in our small legal team. We are looking for someone with impressive legal experience who shares our commitment to providing innovative solutions. You will report to Yelp’s Vice President, Deputy General Counsel, who oversees corporate securities and governance matters.
We’d love to have you apply, even if you don’t feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we’re looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes. This is a full-time remote role based in the United States.
