What the job involves
- As VP, Legal at Industrious, you will lead the company’s legal efforts
- General in-house legal work: You’ll oversee the internal legal needs of a growing company, from employment-related work, to managing legal risk in the business, to corporate governance, to the thousands of contracts with vendors, partners, or general contractors and issues of compliance with state and federal law across our various business lines. This will also include management of any litigation, should it arise
- Network expansion: You’ll oversee the expansion of our network through new partnership agreements with landlords, and work closely with our Real Estate team to manage the complexities around lease renegotiations, terminations, and other supply-side transactions
- Corporate transactions: You’ll manage our legal efforts related to M&A, equity fundraising, debt and other capital markets work
- Systems and processes: You’ll develop systems, policies, forms, training, and other infrastructure needed to help the team work most effectively and help us scale
- Team management: You’ll be responsible for building and managing a high-performing legal team. We’re looking for someone who has the skills and experience to develop talent and to create an engaged and collaborative team culture
Our take
Industrious was founded in 2012 when its creators noticed that people often work d better in hotel lobbies and coffee shops than in traditional offices. This inspired the company to develop flexible workspaces that blend the casual environment of public spaces with the resources, security, and professionalism of an office setting.
Shared flexible workspaces are nothing new, but Industrious has successfully differentiated itself from larger competitors like WeWork by focusing on management contracts with landlords rather than leasing properties. The company has seen its revenue triple in recent years and has even taken over WeWork's former headquarters in Manhattan.
As demand for smaller, flexible office spaces grows, Industrious is thriving. With partnerships like CBRE and its expansion into key markets, the company is ready to capitalize on the shifting trends in office space.
