Litigation Counsel at whatnot

This is a high-impact leadership role for a seasoned attorney with at least 10 years of experience in complex litigation and regulatory investigations. The ideal candidate has a background in both top-tier law firms and in-house tech environments, specifically dealing with marketplace or e-commerce issues like consumer protection, IP, and platform liability. The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from $225k to $325k plus a robust benefits package that includes a 4% 401k match, 16 weeks of parental leave, and unique allowances for "dogfooding" the app. While the company operates with a remote-friendly culture, this specific role requires being within commuting distance of hubs in New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles for in-person collaboration. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have a track record of managing high-stakes class actions and federal/state regulatory inquiries (FTC, DOJ, SEC). * Thrive in fast-paced startup environments and can translate complex legal risks into actionable business advice for product and ops teams. * Are prepared to build and lead a litigation function from the ground up at a rapidly scaling global marketplace.
