Summary
This is a hands-on, generalist attorney role supporting COMC’s General Counsel across a broad range of legal and operational matters. You'll report directly to the GC and you will serve as a key member of a lean legal team, taking ownership of day-to-day legal workstreams while operating in close coordination with the GC in on complex issues, major decisions, and company-wide priorities.
The ideal candidate moves fluidly between drafting a vendor contract, building a compliance checklist, standing up an intake process, and advising on an employment matter and knows when to drive a matter independently versus when to escalate to the GC. This is not a traditional law firm role. You'll own your work end-to-end and help build out the legal function of a growing company alongside a GC who's invested in your development.
