Corporate Counsel

Human Interest

8d • $190,000 - $215,000 • Remote

About The Position

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings. We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

About the role
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.

• You've integrated AI tools into your legal work and understand how AI should shape contracting, transaction management, and legal operations
