Job description

Location: Remote (Hybrid - Brooklyn, NY)Position Type: Full-Time / Part'Time / Contract (Flexible)

About the role

Chariot is an AI-native consumer protection platform that originates, underwrites, and resolves mass arbitration and class claims at scale. We operate at the intersection of consumer litigation, structured finance, and legal services regulation — which makes this a broader GC seat than the title usually implies.

What you’ll own

• Commercial contracting: vendor, data, partnership, and enterprise agreements
• Corporate and financing work: equity financings, cap table hygiene, board materials, option grants, and cross-border employment questions
• Litigation finance: negotiating and administering debt facilities
• Regulatory / Ethics: legal-services regulatory regimes that govern alternative business structures
• Privacy and data: policy drafting, CCPA/CPRA and state privacy compliance, vendor DPAs, and handling claimant data at volume
• Outside counsel management across corporate, litigation, ethics, and regulatory specialties
• Defense-side correspondence: triaging cease-and-desists and threatened litigation from large-firm counsel
• Company-side risk: employment, IP, marketing review, and AI governance for our own products

What we’re looking for

• 7–15 years of experience, with a mix of top-tier firm and in-house time
• Real transactional and corporate depth
• Litigation experience or exposure sufficient to read a complaint, pressure-test a claim theory.
• Comfort operating without precedent; in a business model that doesn't map cleanly onto existing categories. Highly curious and learning/growth-driven.

Bonus

• Existing relationships with in‑house legal leadership at Fortune 500 companies
• Experience at a high-growth startup through a priced round
• Prior work in debt financing
