About The Position

Material Bank is the world’s largest material marketplace for the architecture and design industry. Operating in 37 countries, our platform has become the standard for design professionals around the globe.

Material Bank is the fastest and most powerful way for design professionals to search, sample, and specify materials. Material Bank is seeking a senior Privacy & Product Counsel to join our Legal team as the company’s second lawyer. This is a builder’s role with significant ownership and visibility across the organization.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, People, and other teams to help the company move quickly while managing legal and regulatory risk thoughtfully. You’ll also help build the processes, templates, playbooks, and systems that allow a small legal team to scale effectively. This role suits someone who combines strong legal judgment with a practical, business-oriented mindset. You’re comfortable working outside your immediate area of expertise, prioritizing in a fast-moving environment, and finding solutions where the answer isn’t always obvious.
