supporting and advocating for a mission-driven and groundbreaking business.
You embrace and are not daunted by ambiguity or a challenge, have a
perennially positive attitude, and are eager to help build a legal department
and support the business in a fast-paced and innovative startup environment.
You enjoy taking the lead on projects and naturally take the initiative to
solve problems and improve and streamline systems and processes.
