About the role
Kit is growing, and so are the legal complexities of our business. We're looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to help us navigate them with clarity, speed, and commercial savvy.
You'll help shape the legal backbone of a fast-moving tech company with multiple revenue streams—including SaaS, digital commerce, paid recommendations, and advertising—and a rapidly growing platform for creators.
You'll report to our Chief Operating Officer, Brian Bevel, and partner regularly with leaders across product, sales, finance, and people operations.
What you'll do
- Serve as in-house legal subject matter expert, partnering closely with the executive team to lead product legal strategy and execution around privacy, data, AI and compliance, commercial contracts, customer security requirements, and scalable legal support.
- Develop a deep understanding of Kit, SparkLoop, Subscriber Signals, and how creators get value from our connected ecosystem of apps and tools.
- Review our most common legal agreements, privacy questions, and customer security requests to assess risk, opportunity, ambiguity, and recurring work that can be handled more efficiently.
- Get your arms around active data processing, privacy, AI, and other legal initiatives, and build a view of upcoming legal needs.
- Map recurring privacy support questions across Kit, particularly around Subscriber Signals, and design a scalable intake, guidance, and escalation system.
- Partner with Sales, Sponsorships, Security, Product, and Engineering to move faster without cutting corners.
- Take ownership of GDPR and data compliance vetting and establish a clear process for responding to customer security questionnaires.
- Build scalable systems—such as playbooks, templates, intake processes, and self-service guidance—for answering recurring privacy, data-use, and compliance questions.
- Partner throughout the product lifecycle on initiatives and feature releases, with particular attention to Subscriber Signals and our connected ecosystem of products.
- Prioritize our biggest legal risks, reduce unnecessary reliance on outside counsel, and streamline legal workflows to increase speed, confidence, and self-service.
- Help Kit operate at a higher level of legal maturity across privacy, compliance, product counsel, commercial contracts, and security support.
- Establish durable systems that allow teams to answer common questions independently while escalating higher-risk matters appropriately.

The hot takeJeff's read on Kit
I can't freaking believe this...We've been using Kit for over five years to send and manage emails for Beach Commute, but never considered them for the Anywhere Atlas. We're gonna fix that right now. Here's what little I know about working at Kit as of this moment:
- ✅ 5.0 Glassdoor score (22 reviews).
- ✅ Offer flexible hours.
- ✅ Transparent Salaries.
- Oh, and have you EVER heard of this perk that PAYS you for taking time off?!
Paid paid vacation: An after-tax bonus of $1,000 for taking five consecutive days of vacation where you're fully unplugged from work.
Also, this is something everyone should consider when applying for a job: You do NOT need to meet 100% of a companies job requirements in a job listing.
*“Research tells us that applicants who are *female* or non-binary, as well as applicants who are people of color, are less likely to apply for roles they do not feel 100% qualified for. If you think you meet more than 50% of our requirements but fewer than 100% of them, please apply. We're imperfect communicators, so think of our job postings as the starting point for discussion rather than proof that you shouldn't apply.”*
