## About the role

As Pulley's first Head of Legal, you'll build and own our commercial legal function, taking on the legal and contract work our team has been absorbing as we've grown, and putting real infrastructure behind it. Build the legal processes, templates, and playbooks Pulley needs as it scales; much of this doesn't exist yet, so you'll be creating it.

## What they're looking for

- You're commercially minded: you see your role as helping the business move faster, not just minimizing risk
- You're comfortable being the first legal hire and building a function from scratch, without a playbook handed to you
- You default to pragmatic, business-friendly solutions over rigid process
- You communicate clearly with non-lawyers and build trust quickly across functions
- You're energized by high ownership and ambiguity in a fast-moving startup environment
