General Counsel
Chariot Claims
Contingency-based platform for consumer lawsuits
Location: Remote (Hybrid - Brooklyn, NY)
Position Type: Full-Time / Part'Time / Contract (Flexible)
About the role
Chariot is an AI-native consumer protection platform that originates, underwrites, and resolves mass arbitration and class claims at scale. We operate at the intersection of consumer litigation, structured finance, and legal services regulation — which makes this a broader GC seat than the title usually implies.
This role reports to the CEO and owns the company's legal function end to end; you’ll be the business’s lawyer. This role is not running litigation strategy or the case/claimant docket, but does require familiarity with litigation.
What you'll own
Commercial contracting: vendor, data, partnership, and enterprise agreements
Corporate and financing work: equity financings, cap table hygiene, board materials, option grants, and cross-border employment questions
Litigation finance: negotiating and administering debt facilities
Regulatory / Ethics: legal-services regulatory regimes that govern alternative business structures
Privacy and data: policy drafting, CCPA/CPRA and state privacy compliance, vendor DPAs, and handling claimant data at volume
Outside counsel management across corporate, litigation, ethics, and regulatory specialties
Defense-side correspondence: triaging cease-and-desists and threatened litigation from large-firm counsel
Company-side risk: employment, IP, marketing review, and AI governance for our own products
What we're looking for
7–15 years of experience, with a mix of top-tier firm and in-house time
Real transactional and corporate depth
Litigation experience or exposure sufficient to read a complaint, pressure-test a claim theory.
Comfort operating without precedent; in a business model that doesn't map cleanly onto existing categories. Highly curious and learning/growth-driven.
Bonus
Existing relationships with in-house legal leadership at Fortune 500 companies
Experience at a high-growth startup through a priced round
Prior work in debt financing
Contingency-based platform for consumer lawsuits
Chariot Claims operates a legal-tech platform that makes it easier for consumers to join mass-action and class-action lawsuits against corporations. The platform automates the entire claims process—from identifying eligible cases and handling paperwork to connecting users with law firms and tracking settlements—so individuals can get paid when a settlement is reached. Users answer a few questions and connect relevant accounts to check eligibility instantly, while partner law firms gain a steady stream of qualified plaintiffs and help with administrative work. The service runs on a contingency-fee model, meaning it only earns money when a settlement is awarded. Chariot Claims has processed over 65,000 claims and works with more than 20 law firms. Its goal is to increase consumer participation in settlements and expand into new claim areas such as wage theft, housing fraud, and data breaches, broadening the impact of corporate accountability.
