  <strong>
   General Counsel
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   Full-time | United States (New York, Hybrid)
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   The Role
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  Most GCs say they want to be strategic partners to the business. With this role, it&rsquo;s unavoidable. You&rsquo;ll help build a category-defining legal tech company, transform how hundreds of legal teams operate, and shape the future of the GC role while still doing meaningful, high-impact legal work yourself.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   The Company
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  Checkbox is a Sequoia-backed software company building the AI Legal Front Door for in-house legal teams. General Counsels and Legal Operations use Checkbox to redefine how legal work enters, flows through, and gets resolved inside enterprise companies. Our customers today are the in-house legal departments from companies like SAP, Hitachi, and Pepsi.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  Support teams had Zendesk. Sales had Salesforce. IT had ServiceNow. Each became the defining system of record and engagement for their function, enabling new levels of scale, visibility, and impact. But more than that, each system fundamentally redefined how the function operated. Each of these business functions had its moment of transformation. And legal is next.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  Until now, legal has been the last major business function without its own purpose-built platform to orchestrate workflows, manage service delivery, and demonstrate value to the business. This is what we&rsquo;re building at Checkbox &ndash; AI-powered Service Management for in-house legal teams.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  As a company, we are a passionate and ambitious team of 70+ people across the United States, Australia, and Asia, made up of high performers and Co-Founders in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Our culture is one of our superpowers. It's what people talk about when they join us, work with us, and leave us.

  <strong>
   The Position
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  As the General Counsel at Checkbox, you will own and lead the company&rsquo;s legal work. But this is not a traditional GC role. This is a builder, operator, and strategic partner role inside a high-growth SaaS company that sells to GCs, meaning your perspective matters everywhere.
 </p>
 <p>
  You will report directly to the Co-Founder and CEO, be a member of the executive leadership team, and attend Board meetings.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  As our first in-house legal hire, we&rsquo;re looking for a General Counsel who doesn&rsquo;t just want to support the business, but help shape it. Someone who loves legal work, but gets itchy feet doing legal work alone. Someone who wants to sit at the intersection of law, product, revenue, and technology, and directly influence business outcomes.
