About this role
Emergence is hiring for a Director of Legal role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.
Requirements
- J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. state
- 3-5 years of legal experience, ideally with meaningful time at a smaller company or an early-stage in-house function, not exclusively at a large law firm or a large corporate legal department
- Comfortable operating without an established process already in place — you build the playbook rather than execute one handed to you
- Strong commercial contract instincts and the judgment to know what's routine versus what requires outside counsel or escalation
- A bias toward finding the path that lets the business move, while being clear-eyed about the risk
- Ability to apply legal judgment across multiple industries simultaneously without deep expertise in each regulatory regime.
