General Counsel

Reports to: CEO

Location: Remote US

Compensation Range: $360,000 to $400,000 base plus bonus and equity

What We Do:

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.

Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.

What You’ll Do: 

As our General Counsel, you are a strategic enabler who balances fast company growth with sophisticated risk management. You will serve as a proactive business partner and advisor on complex corporate issues, moving far beyond basic legal review to offer creative deal-structuring strategies that protect our goals while mapping out calculated risks and clear guardrails. You will deliver critical guidance on corporate governance, intellectual property, and high-velocity operational matters, using deep quantitative risk analysis to show how legal decisions directly impact our valuation and long-term trajectory. Your work directly drives our corporate growth by ensuring our legal engine supports our team, customers, and partners seamlessly.

In this role, you will navigate the shadier corners of the security ecosystem, managing the unique risks of an organization that operates at the very edge of the cyber-threat landscape. You will architect our multi-year pathway to public company standards, establishing necessary corporate governance and compliance structures early while keeping our operations nimble. Whether preparing for a financing round, managing equity administration, or establishing localized frameworks for international expansion, you will maintain an ongoing state of readiness for major corporate milestones. You will protect our proprietary moat and defend us against litigation, all while ensuring the legal department operates as an automated, high-velocity engine that removes friction from our business.

• Manage and defend the organization against litigation, employment matters, supply chain vulnerabilities, and privacy concerns like GDPR and CCPA to protect our business operations.
• Demonstrate that you give a $h*t about our ecosystem by architecting an automated legal and compliance engine that handles high-velocity customer and partner agreements to drive excellent user experiences.
• Partner with outside counsel and internal stakeholders to manage the cap table, equity-related governance, and supporting documentation with accuracy and discipline.
