Job description

We are on a mission to become the leading international force in residential property management. What we do matters to billions of people in their everyday lives.

Residential real estate is the world’s largest asset class, and for most families, buying a home is the single biggest financial decision they will ever make. For too long, residential property management has fallen short of homeowners' and residents' expectations, and the industry is ready for change. Odevo was formed to make that change happen.

In just six years, Odevo has grown more than 70-fold, establishing us as the leading international player. We are more than 12,000 people across the US, the UK, the Nordics, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Italy building Odevo. Together, we aspire to break new ground through innovation and cultivate a workplace where we help each other succeed, where ideas matter more than titles, and where kindness is a strength.

By combining the power of people and technology, we set a new standard for how homes are managed. Our technology-enabled services simplify living for residents and create a better experience for property owners and boards.

Our ambition is to continue our fast-growing journey through new customers, service expansion, and by partnering with great companies that share our mindset and ambition, both in existing and new markets.

As we continue to grow, we stay true to who we are, challenge unnecessary bureaucracy, and keep decision-making close to our customers.

If you share our mindset and ambition, we’d love you to join us and help accelerate our mission together.

About The Role

We are seeking an In-House Counsel to join our in-house legal team. This role focuses on transactional legal work in support of Odevo's acquisition-driven growth strategy, including drafting and negotiating agreements, supporting M&A due diligence, participating in company acquisitions, and driving legal standardization across acquired entities. The In-House Counsel works closely with the General Counsel and Assistant General Counsel across a broad range of legal matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions, including:
• Prepare, draft, and negotiate transaction documents including purchase agreements, NDAs, letters of intent, and related ancillary agreements.
• Support M&A due diligence processes, including review of contracts, corporate records, and identification of legal risks.
• Assist with post-acquisition integration, including legal standardization of processes, templates, and agreements across acquired companies.
• Prepare and revise contracts for review, approval, and use by the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
• Draft and respond to demand letters and other non-litigation matters, including matters involving administrative agencies.
• Advise on legal and business risks related to transactions and ongoing operations.
• Anticipate and guard against legal risks involving the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
• Proactively identify and provide suggestions and solutions to processes, workflows, and templates to drive efficiency in the Legal Department and across the organization.
• Coordinate with external counsel on transaction matters as needed.
• Assist the General Counsel and Assistant General Counsel with a variety of legal tasks as needed.

Who You Are

• You are a detail-oriented transactional attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, acquisition-driven environment.
• You bring strong instincts, sound business judgment, and the ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously.
• You communicate clearly with both legal and non-legal stakeholders and take pride in driving transactions to close efficiently.
• You are proactive, organized, and collaborative -- someone who looks for ways to improve processes, not just complete tasks.

Travel

This position is primarily based at the Doral Corporate Office with the option to work remotely from home. Some travel may be required to attend company-sponsored meetings and support transaction activity.

Experience

• Juris Doctor degree and active membership in the Florida Bar.
• 5 or more years of legal experience focused on transactions (contracts and agreements); litigation experience will not be considered in lieu of transactional experience.
• Experience with M&A transactions, purchase agreements, and due diligence strongly preferred.
• Excellent legal writing and communication skills.
• Superior legal research and analytical ability.
• Strong drafting and negotiation skills in a transactional context.
• Excellent time management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
