About the role
Pocket is looking for its first in-house legal hire to build and own the company’s legal function as we scale globally.
This is a highly hands-on role working directly with the founders across corporate, commercial, employment, privacy, compliance, and people-related matters.
You will serve as the central legal owner across the organization, working closely with our external counsel while progressively bringing more legal knowledge, processes, and execution in-house.
