Legal Counsel

We're looking for a Legal Counsel to help shape and scale our legal framework as we continue our rapid growth. As our trusted legal partner, you'll work closely with the Head of Finance and collaborate across all teams to provide pragmatic, solutions-oriented advice that supports Clay's expansion while effectively managing risk.

Requirements

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active license to practice law in the U.S.
• 4-7+ years of legal experience, with a mix of top-tier law firm and in-house experience (at a SaaS or AI company preferred)
• Strong track record drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, particularly in the technology sector
• Demonstrated ability to handle diverse legal matters independently while maintaining excellent judgment
• Clear communication style with a business-minded, pragmatic approach to problem-solving
• Experience with technology companies, SaaS businesses, or data privacy matters is a plus

Benefits

• Competitive salary and role trajectory: Roles, responsibilities, and comp grow as we do.
• Health Insurance: Fully covered, high-quality medical, dental, and vision plans for NYC Claymates. Includes options covering 70–80% of out-of-network therapy after a deductible is met. Insurance options for remote Claymates may vary by location.
• Visa sponsorship: Visa sponsorship for US-based candidates (e.g., student to work visas). We get it - it's an arduous process, but we're not scared of it. Sponsorship for candidates outside of the US may vary.
• Paid time off: We expect team members to take at least 3 weeks fully-disconnected per year, with a flexible vacation policy beyond that.
• Free food: Free meals in office every day and unlimited snacks.
• Parental leave & fertility support: IVF fertility benefits, egg freezing, and 4 months of paid parental leave for NYC Claymates. Support for remote Claymates may vary by location.
