Our vision:

We want to be in every major metro in the US in the next five years.

We believe cities are best when people can actually afford to live there, and our goal is to be an instrumental part of housing innovation to make that happen at scale. We move incredibly fast while remaining dedicated to our mission - to change the way people rent.

Working here:

We have a high bar and a bias for action, which has enabled us to expand rapidly. Our team spans 12 countries across 4 continents, each person bringing a passion and grit to build technology that impacts people's lives.

We are looking for a General Counsel. This role will build a repository of local codes and regulations around rental properties and analysis of how they apply to coliving. You will also build a playbook for navigating these regulations and responding to any communication from cities and other regulators.

Role

We're a startup that covers a lot of legal ground from land use & zoning to technology to fundraising to business law. We don't expect you to know it all since we're building something new, but you'll need to be a really quick study who can help us untangle a variety of legal issues.

You'll need to be able to research legal questions quickly to keep us out of harm's way, or at least to the extent possible. You'll need to be a bulldog, a hound dog, or an emotional support dog depending on the day, and you'll need to be able to consult with our partners in other states on how they can stay in sync with us. You'll also need to write a playbook for legal operations in various jurisdictions.

You'll also have to get used to not wearing a suit. . .maybe ever.

Preferred Qualifications:

Currently, live in Texas (DFW preferred) At least 2 years experience as general counsel or head of legal

Note:

Like other early-stage startup roles - this role will include a mix of generous stock compensation, demanding working hours, and subpar benefits and salary. We realize that mix is a great fit for some and a bad fit for others. If you're in the \"great fit\" category - we'd love to talk to you.
