Working the Tekmetric Way

At Tekmetric, we’re building a culture where winning matters - not for ego, but because when our customers win, we win together.

We move fast, stay curious, and take full ownership of our results — no excuses, no finger-pointing. If you thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and view honest feedback as fuel for growth, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re direct but respectful, ambitious yet grounded, and collaborative at every level. Everyone leads through impact and is encouraged to speak up, share ideas, and challenge assumptions (even your manager’s). This is a place for builders, not bystanders.

Success here takes focus, follow-through, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves — but if you’re driven by meaningful work and real results, it’s deeply rewarding. You’ll join a team that cares about the work, supports one another, and takes smart risks to achieve bold goals. Be yourself, stay mission-focused, and you’ll thrive. If that energizes you, we can’t wait to meet you.

Where We Work: At Tekmetric, great work happens anywhere, but great teams are built through intentional connection. We offer hybrid and remote work models based on your proximity to our office hubs. Because we value in-person collaboration, travel is an expected part of every role. We come together several times a year for team and company-wide offsites to align on goals and strengthen relationships. Attendance at these events is expected and fully supported.

What You’ll Do

We are hiring a Senior Counsel, a hands-on generalist who will build and run the legal function. You will be our first dedicated legal leader, covering commercial, corporate, employment, compliance and risk work, and partnering closely with executives and cross-functional teams.

Corporate matters: Lead corporate legal work, including governance, entity matters and transactions.
Customer contracts: Draft, review and negotiate customer agreements.
Product terms and conditions: Own the product T&Cs and related consumer-facing policies, keeping them distinct from negotiated customer contracts.
Litigation: Manage disputes and claims, working with outside counsel as needed.
Employment law: Advise on employment matters in partnership with the People team.
Compliance and risk management: Build the compliance program and assess legal risk across the business.
External counsel: Manage outside law firms and decide when to bring in specialist support.
Executive partnership: Advise leaders on decisions, set out degrees of risk and trade-offs, and recommend practical workarounds rather than defaulting to "no."
Function building: Define legal processes and priorities, and grow the team as scope expands.
Equity: Manage equity compensation administration and advise on equity plan design and structure as the company scales.

What You’ll Bring

Minimum of 6 years of experience and 3 years in-house, ideally at another tech or SaaS company
Corporate law background, with exposure to several of: customer contracts, product T&Cs, litigation and employment
Experience in a smaller or mid-sized company where you handled a broad scope, not a single specialty
Influence without authority: Leads through relationships and persuasion, since the role advises rather than makes final business decisions.
Risk translation: Turns complex legal issues into plain language and lays out degrees of risk and trade-offs so leaders can decide.
Collaboration: Acts as a flexible, cross-functional partner, not a command-and-control gatekeeper.
Pragmatism: Offers workarounds that reduce risk while keeping the business moving.
Self-sufficiency: Hits the ground running and needs little training.
Builder mindset: Comfortable as a first hire, setting up processes and priorities from scratch.
