What makes the role meaty?

- Be a trusted advisor to the Founders, CFO, and Leadership team on Legal, Regulatory, and Governance matters

- Ensure compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI regulations
- Lead and drive end-to-end commercial contracting across procurement, supply chain, marketing, partnerships, and technology

- Lead employment law, ESOP structures, and workplace policies, including POSH compliance
- Build and scale a high-performing legal function, including team, processes, and legal operations
- Develop scalable legal playbooks, contracting frameworks, and risk mitigation systems
- Partner cross-functionally to enable innovation and growth while proactively managing legal and regulatory risks

We hope that you have..

- Qualified as a lawyer in India with 15+ years of post-qualification experience
- A robust mix of top-tier law firm and in-house leadership experience, ideally in consumer tech, e-commerce, or high-growth IPO-stage companies.
- Experience in preparing organizations for public markets or operating in highly regulated, governance-intensive environments
- Deep expertise across Corporate Law, Governance, Commercial Contracting, Regulatory Compliance, Data Privacy, and Risk Management
- A business-first mindset with the ability to balance risk with speed and growth
- Proven experience operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, and high-growth environments
