Manager, Legal Strategy

EIDLexit • Houston, TX

22d • $65,000 - $90,000 • Remote

About The Position

At EIDLexit, our mission is to help small business owners overcome the burden of SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) and recover personally and professionally. As a Christian-led organization, we are grounded in faith, integrity, compassion, and respect. We combine human insight with AI-powered technology to enhance client results and streamline our processes. EIDLexit is a legal-adjacent consulting and technology platform that helps small business owners escape EIDL debt. When cases are complex, we build a financial and legal strategy for clients to recover from SBA EIDL debt. We are not a law firm, debt settlement company, debt consolidation service, or tax resolution business. EIDLexit builds the strategy and presents options; licensed attorneys and CPAs in the EIDLexit Strategic Partner Network deliver formal legal advice, representation, or tax work.

Requirements

• JD from an ABA-accredited law school
• Active license to practice in at least one U.S. state
• Admission to state and federal court (or at least prior admission to federal bankruptcy court)
• Substantive bankruptcy practice experience across personal and business matters (Chapter 7 and Chapter 11). Subchapter V experience particularly valued.
• Reliable internet, professional video presence, and a solid remote-work setup
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and CRM platforms (HubSpot preferred).
• Comfort working alongside AI tools (Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, or similar) is essential.
• A heartfelt commitment to serving small business owners as they navigate SBA EIDL debt—protecting their personal assets, their families, and the businesses they have built.

Nice To Haves

• Texas bar admission
• Additional state admissions
• Chapter 13 bankruptcy experience
• Small business tax experience (state or federal)—income tax, sales tax, 941 payroll taxes, partnership/S-corp returns, or general small-business owner tax issues
• Trust planning or asset protection, particularly for small business owners protecting personal assets from business debt exposure
• General business civil litigation (commercial disputes, creditor actions, SBA-related matters)
• Additional credentials: LLM in Taxation, CPA, or Enrolled Agent (EA)
• Strong listening, empathy, and clear written and verbal communication

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day operations of the Legal Strategy team, which builds the financial and legal analysis behind the Strategic Recovery Roadmap for clients evaluating EIDL resolution, business wind-down, restructuring, asset protection, new business creation, and bankruptcy coordination.
• Present the completed Roadmap to clients—lead the working session where the client's financial analysis and strategic options are reviewed in plain language and the recommended path is set, bringing a partner attorney or CPA alongside when formal advice or execution is required.
• Personally lead the most complicated roadmap presentations—the cases where complex entity structures, asset protection, tax issues, or unusual loan documentation demand a substantive strategic mind.
• Own the line between strategy and execution: EIDLexit builds and presents the strategy; partner attorneys and CPAs execute the formal legal and tax work. Coordinate the handoff cleanly.
• Engage with our ever-growing EIDLexit Strategic Partner Network of attorneys and tax professionals to coordinate state-specific guidance and execution for clients nationwide.
• Work alongside the Sales team by briefing them on changes (SBA processes, new resolution paths, case patterns) so they can prep clients with current, accurate information.
• Assist Sales leadership in converting the rare, complex deal where a substantive legal voice moves the prospect.
• Feed Marketing the real client pain points and needs you hear in strategic roadmap discussions—the language clients actually use, the fears they actually carry, the outcomes they actually want.
• Help shape messaging, content, and service positioning based on what the data tells us about where the market is moving.
• Serve as the internal legal-strategic voice across Marketing, Sales, and Services on questions that touch client communications, service descriptions, and competitive differentiation.
• Coordinate with EIDLexit's outside counsel network on matters that exceed internal scope.

Benefits

• Four weeks of paid time off to recharge and maintain well-being
• Ongoing training and clear paths for advancement within our purpose-driven team
• Comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans (401k/IRA), and Health Savings Account (HSA) eligibility begins January 1, 2027
