## About the role

We are looking for a talented, curious lawyer to serve as a legal partner to our product, engineering, and business teams. You will work across Kikoff's growing product ecosystem — including credit-building products, earned wage access (EWA), and new product lines in development — to help us move fast while staying on the right side of a complex and evolving regulatory landscape.

- J.D. from an accredited law school
- Be an active member of the California state bar or registered in-house counsel in California
- Working knowledge of federal consumer finance statutes (TILA, ECOA, FCRA, EFTA) and a willingness to build depth quickly in state lending and money transmission frameworks
- Exposure to at least one of: credit-building or credit reporting products, earned wage access, consumer lending through bank partnership models, or payments
- Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, and a track record of turning legal research into clear, decision-ready guidance rather than a memo full of caveats
- Good judgment, intellectual honesty about what you do and do not know, and a bias toward enabling the business rather than only identifying risk
