Description
Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits.
More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.
We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock , TPG (The Rise Fund) , SoftBank, Glynn Capital , NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

As Corporate Counsel, you'll be the second corporate attorney on Human Interest's Legal team, reporting to the Assistant General Counsel, Corporate & Commercial. You'll own a broad slate of corporate, securities, and governance matters as Human Interest scales, and you'll also pitch in on commercial contracting, incident management, and regulatory matters. This is a new seat on a growing team, so the scope below reflects what you'd be working on at the outset, but expect it to evolve along with the company and team.

Prepare and support board and committee materials; partner with the Finance team on board and committee preparation logistics, distribution, and tracking
Manage the Legal portion of cap table and equity matters, including option grants, 409A coordination, executive compensation, and equity refresh cycles, partnering closely with the Finance and People teams
Support corporate finance and transactional activity across various transaction types, including equity, secondary transactions, debt, convertibles, and other sophisticated financing arrangements
Build and maintain the governance and transactional playbooks, templates, and processes that allow Legal to scale with the business
Support IPO readiness activities
Manage outside counsel on corporate and securities matters
Lead negotiation and execution of commercial agreements, including NDAs, vendor agreements, data processing agreements, and other contracts as needed
Support M&A and other strategic transactions as they arise
What you bring to the role
You hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and are an active member in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar
You have 4+ years of corporate and securities experience at a top-tier law firm, with at least one in-house role, preferably at a private, high-growth company
You are experienced with a range of corporate transactions: equity, secondary transactions, debt, and other sophisticated financing arrangements
You understand cap table mechanics, equity administration, and corporate governance for multi-entity structures
Public company reporting and securities compliance experience is a plus
You have owned and drafted and negotiated commercial contracts, including NDAs, vendor agreements, data processing agreements, and other transaction types
You've integrated AI tools into your legal work and understand how AI should shape contracting, transaction management, and legal operations
Experience in regulated industries (fintech, financial services, healthcare, or similar) is preferred
You're based in the Pacific or Mountain time zone
You're pragmatic and business-minded — risk-aware, not risk-averse — and communicate clearly with both legal and non-legal stakeholders
