About Slash

Slash is building the future of business banking, one industry at a time.

We believe businesses deserve financial infrastructure tailored to how they actually operate, not generic banking products retrofitted with software. We’re creating a new category of business banking that combines the reliability of traditional banking (high yields, competitive rewards, and uncompromising security) with industry-specific software, stablecoins, and AI-native workflows.

Our goal is simple: make businesses more efficient, more competitive, and more profitable.

Founded in 2021, Slash is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the world. We power billions in annual transaction volume across a wide range of industries — from internet-native founders to traditional operators. We’ve raised over $60M from leading investors including Menlo Ventures, NEA, Y Combinator, Goodwater Capital, Stanford University, and founders of companies like Tinder and Plaid.

Our team brings together fintech operators from Cash App, Brex, and Finix, alongside founders who have built and scaled their own businesses. We’re headquartered in San Francisco (with another office in New York City) and operate with a strong in-person culture.

About the Role

We’re hiring an Associate General Counsel to help build the legal foundation for Slash as we scale. You’ll report to our General Counsel and work closely with the leadership team, including our two founders.

This is a broad, high-leverage role working across the company. You’ll be involved anywhere legal intersects with the business: from shaping new products and helping us navigate an evolving regulatory landscape to reviewing commercial agreements and structuring partnerships.

You’ll act as both a thought partner and an operator. The goal is not just to spot risk, but to help the company move forward with clarity and speed.

You will:

Advise on a wide range of legal matters across product, commercial, and regulatory

Support the development and launch of new financial products and features

Draft, review, and negotiate key agreements (partnerships, vendors, customers, and more)

Help structure and execute strategic relationships with banks, fintech partners, and infrastructure providers

Partner with compliance, risk, and operations teams to align on regulatory strategy

Build internal processes, templates, and frameworks that scale with the company

Identify areas of legal or regulatory risk and propose practical paths forward

Manage external counsel where needed

You’re expected to be sharp, creative, and independent, to leverage automation and AI tools effectively, and to step in wherever support is needed.

Location: San Francisco or New York City

5+ years of legal experience (law firm, in-house, and/or government)

Excellent judgment and ability to balance legal risk with business objectives

Clear and concise communication style

Ability to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and leadership

Very high ownership mindset

Nice to Have

Experience supporting expansion into new consumer products, capabilities, or regulatory frameworks

Familiarity with crypto, stablecoins, or AI

Prior experience at an early-stage or scaling startup

Experience building legal processes from scratch

You’ll Thrive Here If

You like being a generalist and jumping across different problem areas

You’re comfortable making decisions without perfect information

You move quickly and communicate clearly

You enjoy working closely with founders and operators
