Taktile is the Agentic Decision Platform empowering financial institutions to combine the speed of AI automation with the oversight of people, so teams can safely approve customers, catch more fraud, and stay compliant. Backed by Index and Y Combinator.
About the role
Design the function's next chapter. Build on the existing foundation of templates, the in-progress Ironclad rollout, and the structure the US and EU fractional GCs have put in place, then decide what evolves, what gets automated, and what a growing team should own versus what stays with outside counsel. You set the roadmap for where legal at Taktile goes from here.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of relevant legal experience, including meaningful time in-house, ideally with some exposure to AI, fintech, financial services, SaaS, or another regulated/high-growth environment
- Direct experience building or significantly scaling a legal function and team. You've taken a function from an early or lean stage to something more structured and can point to what you built
- Strong commercial contract drafting and negotiation skills, comfortable being the primary negotiator on customer and vendor paper
- Working knowledge of, or genuine excitement to quickly build, expertise in financial services regulatory considerations relevant to AI-driven decisioning (credit, lending, model risk, fair lending concepts)
- Experience supporting employment matters across multiple jurisdictions or entities, or a track record of picking up new jurisdictions quickly and knowing when to bring in local counsel
- JD and active bar membership in at least one US state

As Taktile's first dedicated in-house legal leader, you'll own that next chapter: deciding what scales as-is, what needs to evolve, and when and how to build out a team as the company's growth demands it. You'll work closely with the CEO and leadership team as a genuine strategic partner, with a direct line of sight into the biggest decisions the company makes, including deal structure, new markets, and product risk, while also staying close enough to the ground to draft the NDA, review the vendor contract, and answer the HR question yourself.
