General Counsel

Location: Remote (Hybrid • Brooklyn, NY) Position Type: Full-Time / Part'Time / Contract (Flexible) About the role Chariot is an AI-native consumer protection platform that originates, underwrites, and resolves mass arbitration and class claims at scale. We operate at the intersection of consumer litigation, structured finance, and legal services regulation — which makes this a broader GC seat than the title usually implies. This role reports to the CEO and owns the company's legal function end to end; you’ll be the business’s lawyer. This role is not running litigation strategy or the case/claimant docket, but does require familiarity with litigation. What you'll own • Commercial contracting: vendor, data, partnership, and enterprise agreements • Corporate and financing work: equity financings, cap table hygiene, board materials, option grants, and cross-border employment questions • Litigation finance: negotiating and administering debt facilities • Regulatory / Ethics: legal-services regulatory regimes that govern alternative business structures • Privacy and data: policy drafting, CCPA/CPRA and state privacy compliance, vendor DPAs, and handling claimant data at volume • Outside counsel management across corporate, litigation, ethics, and regulatory specialties • Defense-side correspondence: triaging cease-and-desists and threatened litigation from large-firm counsel • Company-side risk: employment, IP, marketing review, and AI governance for our own products What we're looking for • 7–15 years of experience, with a mix of top-tier firm and in-house time • Real transactional and corporate depth • Litigation experience or exposure sufficient to read a complaint, pressure-test a claim theory. • Comfort operating without precedent; in a business model that doesn't map cleanly onto existing categories. Highly curious and learning/growth-driven. Bonus • Existing relationships with in-house legal leadership at Fortune 500 companies • Experience at a high-growth startup through a priced round • Prior work in debt financing
