About the role
- Most senior counsel roles ask you to go deep in one lane.
- For the right attorney, this is a career-defining opportunity: the chance to move beyond a narrow specialty, take genuine ownership across multiple practice areas, and grow into a global legal role as the company scales.
- If you trained at a top firm and are ready to bring that rigor into an in-house environment where you can see the full picture of a business, we want to meet you.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain contract templates and playbooks that enable the business to move quickly without sacrificing legal protection.
- Support Slice's payments and FinTech initiatives by advising on payment processing agreements, money transmission considerations, and financial services partnerships.
- Support the People team on a broad range of employment matters across US and international jurisdictions, including the Balkans and United Kingdom.
- Manage and coordinate IP filings and enforcement activity with outside counsel.
- Review new product features and initiatives to identify legal issues early and build solutions that support - rather than slow - the business.
- Manage active litigation and dispute matters, directing outside counsel and keeping the Head of Legal informed on strategy and exposure.
- Support pre-litigation risk assessment and early resolution efforts across commercial, employment, and IP disputes.
- Help build compliant employment frameworks as the company continues to grow its global headcount.
- Serve as a trusted legal partner to Product and Engineering teams, advising on privacy, data, regulatory compliance, and legal risk in product development.
Nice to have
- Experience advising on employment matters in multiple jurisdictions, including internationally.
- Exposure to IP prosecution, trademark portfolio management, or IP litigation.
- Familiarity with privacy frameworks including GDPR and CCPA.
- Prior experience in food tech, marketplace, or platform businesses.
- Experience working with or counseling product and engineering teams directly.
- Familiarity with payment processing, money transmission, or financial services regulatory frameworks.
- 401K matching up to 4% in the US
- The Hiring Process
Compensation

Company info
- The legal team at Slice punches above its weight - small, high-trust, and embedded across the business.
- You'll report to the Head of Legal and work directly with leaders across Finance, Product, Operations, and People as a genuine partner, not just a gatekeeper.
- The Winning Recipe
- JD from an accredited law school and active bar admission in New York or another US jurisdiction.
- 5-10 years of legal experience, with significant time at a top-tier law firm - BigLaw or highly regarded boutique. Litigators and corporate lawyers both welcome to apply.
- Interest in negotiating complex agreements without becoming a blocker.
- Genuine curiosity across practice areas; you're as comfortable outside your lane as in it.
- In-house experience at a technology company is strongly preferred - you understand the pace, the context, and what it means to be a business partner.
- Comfort operating independently and making sound judgment calls without always having a senior attorney in the room.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills - you're precise, clear, and know how to explain legal concepts to non-lawyers.
- A self-starter mindset - you identify problems before they become fires, and you bring solutions, not just issues.
- Identify and protect Slice's key IP assets as the company continues to innovate.
- Help shape Slice's approach to AI-related legal and regulatory considerations as the company deepens its use of technology.
