Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who is nimble, driven, and wants to face new challenges on a daily basis. Thriving in a fast-paced, dynamic environment is a must. Your focus will be both deep and wide as you’ll play a part in all of the facets of the company
- If this sounds like you, and you’re passionate about solving complex legal problems, we’d love to hear from you
- 5+ years of experience as in-house, startup, or financial services counsel
- Law Degree from an accredited law school
- Bar admission in good standing in at least one US state or jurisdiction
- Familiarity with payment products and/or credit cards
- Working knowledge of regulatory issues in our space (e.g. BSA/AML/OFAC/KYC, Fair Lending/ECOA, Reg B, TILA/Reg Z)
- Dynamic multi-tasker who can juggle multiple priorities and complexities with ease
- Comfort working across various business units and levels
- Innovative problem solver
- Awesome communication skills, both written and verbal
- Knack for solving complex legal issues with novel solutions
- Distrust of the status quo
What the job involves
- As the Flexbase Director of Legal, you’ll be a pivotal member of our team as the second legal hire at the company
- You’ll play a key central role in navigating the legal issues that face a rapidly scaling startup
- Reporting directly to the General Counsel, you’ll be a part of it all: privacy, contracts, product/regulatory, payments, customer agreements, corporate matters, etc
- This is a true generalist role for someone who wants to be hands on, own key deliverables for the company, and guide Flex to even more growth and success in the next phase of our journey. Your efforts will help us unlock more opportunities and strengthen our position as we continue our rapid rise
- More than just an advisory role, we’re looking for someone who’s interested in the creative side of the legal world, thinking through novel solutions that will play a part in allowing Flex to achieve its vision. Your drive to answer not only the questions your colleagues ask, but also the ones they didn’t, keeps us moving forward, understanding the clear (and not so clear) legal boundaries surrounding our products, internal processes, and governance
- Solve Complex Legal Problems
- Work Across Departments to Handle All Manner of Legal Matters
- Focus on Product/Regulatory (Credit Cards, Payments, Banking), Privacy/AI, Contracts
- Build New Processes to Create Efficient Interactions with the Legal Team
- Develop Innovative Regulatory Solutions
- You’ll need to be nimble, to prioritize your time, know when to go deep into theory and when you just flat out have to execute. You need to be able to handle the ups and downs of a startup, and know that things can change weekly, daily, and even sometimes, hourly. You’ve got to be comfortable with the grey-space. There won't always be perfect information, but we’re still going to need advice on how to move forward
Our take
Flex, formerly known as Flexbase, supplies credit and finance management tools for small and midsize business (SMBs). At the core of its offering is a credit card, with a complimentary platform that collects all finance operations into one easy-to-manage app.
Perhaps the most intriguing part of Flex's approach is the credit card itself, which comes with 0% interest for 60 days. Through this, businesses can enhance their cash flow and be more flexible in investing in growth. Besides this, users can also issue virtual employee cards at no extra cost, and use functions such as receipt capture and free ach/wire payments.
Having steadily grown its offering over the years, Flex has raised significant funding to expand its business and accelerate growth. Demand for its solutions has expanded beyond its initial focus on the construction industry to target clients across logistics, e-commerce, real estate and other sectors. After raising $85 million over two rounds in 2025, Flex has launched a Google Pay partnership and the Visa Infinite Business Credit Card, with enhanced benefits for business owners.
