San Francisco, California, United States Kikoff Full time

Product Counsel

As Kikoff's first legal hire, you will be working at the intersection of financial technology and regulatory frameworks. Your work helps Kikoff build simple, effective and innovative products, understand and manage risks, and creatively navigate ambiguity, complexity and challenges, both external and internal.

In this role, you'll be a deeply embedded and strategic partner to our Product, Design, Marketing, Operations, Risk/Compliance, and many other teams. You'll be responsible for leading the legal and regulatory strategy behind our fast-growing credit building business; you'll work closely with senior stakeholders to design and build new products and services for underserved consumers, and you'll provide strategic advice to drive Kikoff's expansion into new verticals.

Your responsibilities:

  • Partner closely with our product, engineering, and business teams to advise on a range of issues including product development, financial services regulations, payments, consumer protection, market expansion, data privacy, and intellectual property.
  • Forge effective relationships with external counsels, partners, vendors, and regulators.
  • Maintain an up-to-date understanding of applicable laws and regulations dealing with financial services and other relevant areas.
  • Help to craft our response to changing regulatory environments.
  • Work collaboratively to build Kikoff's legal and regulatory structure and support strategic partnerships.
  • Create scalable and effective processes for legal review and launch of new products and services.
  • Build trust and credibility with internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications:

  • You have 5+ years of experience as a qualified lawyer in an in-house legal team, top law firm and/or government agency, and are currently licensed to practice law.
  • You have deep familiarity with fintech, or financial services laws and regulations such as Reg V, Reg Z, Reg B, Reg P, CCPA, UDAAP, Reg E, and BSA/AML.
  • You're highly collaborative, have leadership qualities, are inquisitive, and solutions-oriented, and have prior experience advising on product development at fast-moving companies.
  • You're biased towards action and impact, and no task is too big or too small for you; you can roll up your sleeves and get things done.
  • You have exceptional verbal and interpersonal communication skills, can build strong relationships with business colleagues, and can simplify legal concepts and communicate them in easy-to-understand language.
  • You're humble with low-ego, have a strong desire to grow and learn, and have a deep commitment to your teammates.

Why Kikoff:

This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products. We are backed by some of Silicon Valley's top VCs, including GGV capital, Lightspeed Ventures, Female Founders Fund, and others. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, a strong sense of craftsmanship, and the desire to create lasting work and work relationships. Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.
