- 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.
