OverviewYou9ll lead a growing team of talented attorneys in a company that moves fast, breaks boring rules, and builds actual things (yes, including software, services, and a lot of companies). You9ll own legal strategy across M&A, global expansion, government contracts, IP, real estate, and the occasional delightful legal oddity. You9ll report directly to the COO and work closely with execs across every department.
We need someone sharp, experienced, and deeply competent-but also weird enough to hang. This isn9t a corporate gig pretending to be cool. It9s a genuinely fun, radically human workplace doing big, ambitious things, and we want a legal leader who gets that.
This position is coded as 9Hybrid,9 meaning occasional remote work is available. Ideally, the candidate will be located in the Spokane-Coeur d9Alene metro area, but we9re open to candidates in surrounding communities within reasonable commuting distance. The expectation is that the person in this role will work consistently from our Post Falls, ID or Spokane, WA office to stay closely connected with local executive teams and actively participate in in-person meetings.
