GeoComply is growing our legal team. Here’s why this opportunity might excite you:

Our company started in 2011 as a group of 9 people developing a solution to a very specific problem: If betting online is legal in one state, how can companies stop their users placing bets the moment they stepped across the border? It turns out the accurate, spoof-proof data we collect solves considerably more problems than compliance ones. It can confirm someone is who they say they are in an era of deepfakes, and it can catch fraud that no other source sees.

We now offer our solutions to customers in media and streaming, financial services, and prediction markets, and our reach is growing more every week. Now 350+ people across 4 continents work together to solve complex fraud, identity, friction, and compliance problems across a rapidly expanding list of industries.In fact, most of our new business is coming from verticals we weren’t selling into two years ago, and even some industries that didn't exist! That’s a good problem to have, and it’s why we’re expanding our commercial team on the legal side too.

TL;DR Rapid expansion into new verticals means our legal playbook is changing, and almost every deal is the first of its kind. Counterparties run from four-person startups to enterprise level organizations, where there’s no precedent file to pull from.

The Legal team is hiring a Senior Commercial Counsel in Vancouver to take that challenge on with us. We’re building our commercial function out holistically, and are looking to hire the right person to grow with us.

If you want to write the playbooks rather than work from one, consider applying. We'd love to hear from you.

We are looking for an autonomous, business-minded lawyer who can combine sharp analytical judgment with strong executive presence to protect our interests, mentor junior counsel, and support our rapid global expansion.You'd be a part of a small but mighty legal team of eight, reporting directly to our General Counsel, and help us build the future of our legal function as GeoComply continues our market expansion.
