Corporate Counsel

<p><strong>About the Role</strong></p> <p>We’re looking for a Corporate Counsel to be our first in-house lawyer — and to build the legal foundation the company needs as we move from seed-stage into serious commercial and operational scale. This is not a narrow role. You’ll own everything from day-to-day contracts and commercial agreements to fundraising support, employment matters, IP, and compliance.</p> <p>You’ll have access to outside counsel for specialized work, but we expect you to handle the majority of legal work internally, manage outside counsel efficiently, and bring genuine judgment — not just process — to everything you touch.</p> <p>You’ll report directly to the Head of Finance &amp; Operations and work in close partnership with the founders. This is a rare opportunity to define what great looks like for Legal at RadixArk — and to build it yourself.</p> <p>We move fast, operate with a sense of urgency, and expect the same from everyone on the team.</p> <h2><strong>What You’ll Own</strong></h2> <h3><strong>Commercial Contracts</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Negotiate, structure, and close commercial agreements — MSAs, SaaS agreements, vendor contracts, and partnership deals — representing the company’s interests while keeping deals moving</li> <li>Own and manage NDA workflow end-to-end: reviewing inbound requests, redlining where appropriate, coordinating signatures, and maintaining a clean filing system</li> <li>Support, structure, and negotiate customer-facing revenue agreements as commercial activity scales; manage the related legal workstreams from first draft through execution</li> <li>Escalate novel structures or terms that create downstream risk; flag issues that matter while letting routine matters close without unnecessary friction</li> <li>Own our contracts repository and lifecycle management — tracking renewals, key dates, and obligations, and building lightweight processes to keep everything organized</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Corporate &amp; Fundraising</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Support strategic transactions, partnerships, financing, and any M&amp;A or acqui-hire activity; understand how deal structures interact with operational and business objectives</li> <li>Support cap table integrity — stock option grants, 409A processes, and board and stockholder consents — in close partnership with finance and outside counsel</li> <li>Manage corporate governance — maintaining records, coordinating board and committee matters, and ensuring the company is properly structured as it scales</li> </ul> <h3><strong>IP &amp; Compliance</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Oversee IP protection — trademark filings, patent processes with outside counsel, an
