Build the Legal Engine of a High-Growth SaaS Company

Rentvine is a fast-growing, private equity-backed SaaS company transforming how property managers operate across the United States. Backed by Mainsail Partners and founder-led, we are scaling rapidly — both organically and through acquisition — and building the infrastructure to support our next stage of growth.  We provide an end-to-end software platform supporting leasing, screening & applications, insurance, accounting, payment processing, maintenance, and marketing for single-family rental property managers nationwide.  As we scale, we are ready to hire our first in-house legal leader.  This is a rare opportunity to build and own the legal function from the ground up at a high-growth, PE-backed SaaS business. You will operate as a strategic advisor, hands-on operator, and business partner to leadership — shaping the legal backbone of a company in growth mode.

If you are energized by ownership, growth, and impact, this is a platform role.

The Opportunity

You will be Rentvine’s first dedicated in-house legal hire, responsible for architecting and leading our internal legal function. Reporting directly to the CFO and partnering closely with executive leadership, you will help the company scale responsibly while enabling the business to move fast.  This is not a maintenance role — it is a build-and-lead opportunity.

You will:

• Establish and professionalize the company’s internal legal infrastructure
• Provide commercially minded legal advice that enables smart growth
• Serve as a trusted advisor to Sales, Product, Finance, and Operations
• Support M&A activity, including NDAs, transaction documentation, and diligence coordination
• Assist with post-acquisition integration from a legal and governance perspective
• Oversee governance, compliance, and corporate hygiene
• Lead and streamline customer and vendor contracting processes
• Develop and maintain contract templates and document management systems
• Ensure compliance with data protection and privacy regulations
• Deploying technology that leverages progressive document management systems, including AI solutions, to drive scale and operational efficiencies.
• Advise on IP, GenAI, real estate, employment, and broader risk management matters
• Manage relationships with outside counsel and optimize legal spending.
• Stay ahead of regulatory changes impacting SaaS and property management

You will quarterback legal matters across the organization, engaging outside counsel when appropriate, while building scalable internal processes that improve efficiency and reduce risk.
