About the Job Tapcheck's Legal team is small, sophisticated, and growing - right now, it's the General Counsel and you. As Corporate Counsel, you'll get a rare opportunity: real ownership across the full range of legal work at a fast-growing fintech, starting day one. We're opening this role because Tapcheck is scaling, and the legal needs are scaling with it - more contracts, new product lines, and a widening set of regulatory considerations that touch nearly every corner of the business. You'll partner directly with Sales, Product, Finance, Support, and Operations, and you'll report to the General Counsel, who will invest in your growth as you build your practice and your judgment. This is a generalist in-house role by design. You'll handle commercial contracting, compliance, vendor and partner agreements, product counseling, employment matters, and the variety that comes with a fast-moving business.
