Dandy is hiring a skilled and deeply business-minded Assistant General Counsel to work with and report to the General Counsel to help drive not only the company’s legal function (including IP, commercial contracts, corporate, employment, dispute resolution, etc) but also to drive meaningful P&L value for the business by providing commercially savvy guidance to Dandy’s leadership team from the perspective of legal risks and opportunities.

• Handle corporate matters (financings, M&A, etc) and implement and administer Dandy’s equity compensation program

• Advise Dandy’s founders and executive team on legal matters generally and act as trusted advisor on all matters of risk

You Have:

• The ability to operate in ambiguity and make quick, and sound, decisions

• A bias for speed and comfort with getting to 70% of the right answer quickly

• Relentless focus on business outcomes over pure legal risk mitigation

• Strong dispute resolution skills and high empathy

• Relentlessly positive attitude, strong sense of humor, and the ability to have fun at work

• An unstoppable drive to win and build an iconic, category-defining, business

What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years of experience as a lawyer generally

• 2+ years of experience in a corporate legal role, public company experience a plus

• 3+ years of experience in-house at a tech company, B2B startups preferred

• A proven track record in executive leadership or a demonstrable ability to get there

• JD, LL.B, or equivalent degree

• Admitted to the bar and in good standing or otherwise authorized to practice law (e.g., have registered in-house status) in the state in which the position is located
