About The Position

VP, Legal Remote — United States Legal / Full-time
About QSIC
QSIC is an Audio + AI company redefining what in-store means for retailers and brands worldwide. We use intelligent audio to drive real, measurable commercial outcomes — and we move fast. We work with some of the largest retailers on the planet, including Dollar General and 7-Eleven, across the US, Australia, UK/Europe, and Mexico.
We're building something genuinely new. Now we need the legal function to match.
The role
You will be the sole in-house legal resource, reporting to the CFO. This is a high-autonomy, high-breadth role.
You'll own the entire legal function: commercial contracts, corporate governance, IP, music licensing, international expansion, securities, compliance, and outside counsel management across four jurisdictions. The breadth is real. So is the autonomy.
This is not a role where you maintain what already exists. Policies and processes are being built, not maintained. You will write the playbook.
