What the job involves
- We're hiring a business-minded, hands-on General Counsel to be TickPick's first in-house lawyer and to build our legal function from the ground up
- Reporting to the Chief Financial & Administrative Officer and working directly with our co-founders and leadership team, you'll own legal strategy and execution across the company — balancing risk, speed, and pragmatism in a business that operates at national scale with a small team
- This is a generalist, “builder” role where you’ll run the company’s legal function, setting priorities, advising the business, and managing risk across teams
- You’ll be expected to leverage AI and modern legal practices to streamline workflows, manage outside counsel budgets, and raise the overall effectiveness of the legal function
- Commercial & partnerships: Lead negotiation of partnership agreements with teams, leagues, venues, and media/affiliate partners, plus customer, vendor and technology agreements
- Consumer-facing policies: Own terms and conditions, privacy, cookie and other policies and advise on trademarks, advertising, promotions, and giveaways
- Disputes and legal requests: Manage litigation, consumer claims, investigations and other disputes
- Regulatory and compliance: Partner with Finance on sales-tax and marketplace-facilitator obligations, corporate filings, and lender/investor reporting requirements. Own governance, compliance and risk frameworks
- M&A and strategic transactions: Lead the legal workstream on acquisitions and other strategic transactions, including diligence coordination, quarterbacking outside counsel, and integration support
- Government affairs: Monitor state and federal laws and licensing requirements impacting our industry, translate changes into operational updates, and manage related lobbying relationships and outside consultants. Represent TickPick in industry coalitions and with regulators
- Employee relations and equity administration: Partner with the People team on employment matters including offer letters, onboarding docs, handbook/policies, employee relations issues, separation agreements, visa/immigration compliance, and management of equity grant issuance
Our take
TickPick is a live events ticket marketplace that differentiates itself by not including any extra fees, reducing the total price of a ticket for consumers. While the company has been around since 2011, it has come increasingly under the spotlight in the last few years as live event ticket prices escalate, often pricing average earners out of attending.
The company was initially founded as a ticket resale platform; however, as its reputation has grown, so too has its partnership base, with it now selling tickets directly for the likes of Firefly Music Festival and Sports Illustrated Saturday Night Lights.
TickPick closed a major funding round in 2024, giving it the fuel to scale up. Adding to this momentum, it also snapped up Fanimal (another ticketing platform) and secured an exclusive partnership with LaLiga as its official ticketing platform across North America. With fresh capital, a growing footprint, and a major league in its corner, TickPick is setting the stage for a future of success.
