About the role
Many banks treat Legal as a cost center. Column treats it as a competitive advantage — the team’s ability to move at the speed of the business is why it can be so impactful. We are a lean team that punches well above our weight, with access to the best AI tools available, and we need to 10x our impact without growing headcount. That’s where you come in.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years in legal operations at a high-growth technology company or financial institution
- A builder’s mentality. AI-native, first principles approach to building tools and systems
- Creativity. We are not looking for someone to build a cookie-cutter Legal Ops engine that works well elsewhere – you will need the skills to evaluate what we do today, what’s important to the business, and what will make us better
- Hands-on experience with CLM systems, knowledge management, outside counsel management
- Strong data and analytics skills — you can build the dashboards and metrics that leadership actually uses, and you make decisions from data
- Strong cross-functional operator who can work across Legal, Risk, Compliance, Finance, Engineering, and Growth and drive adoption without direct authority
More about this role
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.
At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!
