This a Full Remote job, the offer is available from: Georgia (USA) The Role We Need PadSplit is hiring a Regulatory & Product Counsel to help navigate an increasingly complex legal landscape as we scale our marketplace platform. This role sits at the intersection of compliance, product, and operations, translating evolving legal requirements into practical, business-ready solutions. You’ll act as a frontline legal partner, embedded with teams and advising in real time. This is a hands-on, hybrid role—approximately 50% regulatory/compliance and 50% generalist in-house counsel support. You will not be operating from a distance. You’ll be solving problems as they arise, owning outcomes, and helping the business move forward while managing risk. The Person We Are Looking For We’re looking for a business-minded attorney who goes beyond issue-spotting to deliver clear, actionable guidance teams can implement immediately.

• Practical and solutions-oriented
• Decisive and comfortable with ambiguity
• Hands-on and willing to own both high-impact and routine work

• Perform audits of developing and existing federal and state-level regulatory requirements

Investigations & Regulatory Support

• Coordinate initial investigations and fact-gathering alongside customer support
• Support responses to regulatory inquiries, audits, or enforcement matters

Generalist In-House Support (≈50%)

• Handle day-to-day legal questions (host matters, customer experience escalations, general business issues)
• Support zoning and code enforcement matters
• Provide broad legal support as needs arise

Legal Intake & Triage (Core to Role)

• Serve as the first point of contact for legal and compliance questions
• Triage and respond in real time, managing a high-volume request stream
• Escalate higher-risk issues as needed

What You’ll Need to Be Successful Legal Expertise

• J.D. with an active bar license (TX, FL, or GA preferred; East Coast hours required )
• ~5+ years of relevant experience

Regulatory Knowledge

• Familiarity with FCRA, Fair Housing, TCPA, consumer protection, FTC/marketing, and data privacy

Core Skills

• Nuanced judgment applied to complex legal scenarios and practical risk assessment
• Ability to translate legal requirements into business-friendly guidance

Ways of Working

• Experience partnering with Product, Marketing, or Operations teams
• Ability to manage high-volume legal intake and prioritize effectively
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment
• Comfortable working independently with appropriate judgment for escalations
• Clear, concise communication that delivers the ability to influence decisions
