About the role
- The core mandate is to operate as a product lawyer, not just a reviewer at the end of the process.
- Because this is a lean legal team, you will also have opportunities to take on adjacent corporate and general legal matters.
- Deep financial-services expertise remains important, but the strongest candidates will pair it with product counseling instincts and comfort navigating AI, privacy, and data issues.
Responsibilities
- Serve as embedded Product Counsel for Cloaked Pay and other AI-enabled privacy, identity, and financial-services products, partnering directly with Product, Engineering, Design, and Compliance from ideation through launch and ongoing operation.
- Lead legal work across the Cloaked Pay ecosystem, including issuing-bank/BIN-sponsor relationships, program managers, processors, tokenization and network partners, cardholder terms and disclosures, funding and settlement structures, disputes, and related vendor arrangements.
- Own and negotiate product-enabling agreements, including enterprise and end-customer agreements, AI/model and data-provider agreements, MSAs, SOWs, order forms, DPAs, NDAs, procurement agreements, partnerships, technology integrations, and vendor contracts.
- Partner with Product, Sales, Partnerships, and Engineering to move product launches and agreements forward efficiently while protecting the issues that materially matter to Cloaked.
- We have two floors of our building, with two state of the art kitchens packed with drinks, snacks and everything else you'd need to get through the day.
- We are really excited about having you join our mission-driven team and help us build the future of online privacy!
Requirements
- You have strong judgment and low ego - you know when to push, when to compromise, and when to bring in deeper expertise
- Approximately 7-10 years of legal practice, with meaningful product-counseling experience and strong exposure to financial-services, payments, banking, credit-card, fintech, privacy, or AI-enabled technology products.
- You have applied the rules to live products and can translate them into practical product and compliance decisions.
- You are comfortable owning negotiations rather than simply advising from the sidelines.
- Comfort operating in a startup environment where Product and Engineering move quickly, the legal team is lean, and the right answer is often practical rather than academic.
Nice to have
- In-house product-counsel experience at a fintech, bank, card issuer, payments company, AI company, consumer technology company, or platform business with meaningful regulated product exposure.
- Experience supporting consumer credit cards, BNPL/installment lending, consumer payments, issuing, acquiring, or similar financial products.
- Prior law-firm, regulatory, or government experience focused on consumer financial services, paired with a clear desire to operate hands-on inside a fast-moving company.
- Experience counseling on privacy, cybersecurity, AI governance, data use, automated systems, or consumer-protection issues, particularly where they intersect with financial products and consumer data.
- Corporate experience such as entity formation, corporate maintenance, governance, or related filings.
Skills
- J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission in good standing.
