Why this is a fit
The title and seniority band align well, and fintech is a target industry with full US remote accepted, but your deep ERISA/employee benefits/HIPAA specialization doesn't match the generalist commercial contracts, IP, and product counseling focus Slice needs—and the role explicitly prefers BigLaw or top-firm background plus in-house tech experience you don't appear to have.
About the role
Location | US Remote - East Coast preferred! We believe local pizzerias deserve all the advantages of big chains — without compromising their independence. Slice puts technology, marketing, buying power, and support to work for independent pizzerias, empowering them to build profitable businesses and remain at the heart of our communities. Founded in 2010, Slice now partners with over 19,000 pizzerias across 3,000+ cities, forming the nation's largest network of independent pizza shops. With operations spanning the US and the Balkans, this is a rare moment to join a high-growth technology company that is genuinely changing the game for small business owners — and to grow your career alongside it. The Challenge to Solve Build a legal function that can keep pace with a company growing in every direction at once — new technology, new markets, new complexity. The reward: the kind of breadth, ownership, and impact that most attorneys don't get until much later in their careers, if at all. The Role Most senior counsel roles ask you to go deep in one lane. This isn't that role. At Slice, you'll work across commercial contracts, FinTech, artificial intelligence, employment law, IP strategy, litigation and product counseling — building real breadth across a global, fast-moving business and reporting directly to the Head of Legal. For the right attorney, this is a career-defining opportunity: the chance to move beyond a narrow specialty, take genuine ownership across multiple practice areas, and grow into a global legal role as the company scales. You'll work in close partnership with the Head of Legal Operations, who owns the systems and infrastructure that support your work — so you can focus on the substance. If you trained at a top firm and are ready to bring that rigor into an in-house environment where you can see the full picture of a business, we want to meet you. Key focus areas include: Commercial Contracting Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements including vendor contracts, SaaS agreements, partnership deals, NDAs, and data processing agreements. Develop and maintain contract templates and playbooks that enable the business to move quickly without sacrificing legal protection. Advise business teams on contract risk, deal structure, and negotiation strategy. Support Slice's payments and FinTech initiatives by advising on payment processing agreements, money transmission considerations, and financial services partnerships. Employment Law Support the People team on a broad range of employment matters across US and international jurisdictions, including the Balkans and United Kingdom. Advise on hiring, terminations, leave policies, workplace investigations, and employment agreements. Help build compliant employment frameworks as the company continues to grow its global headcount. Advise on employment matters in facilities and warehouse environments, including workforce relations, union avoidance, and health and safety compliance. Intellectual Property Counsel the business on trademark, copyright, and trade secret matters as Slice expands its brand and product footprint. Manage and coordinate IP filings and enforcement activity with outside counsel. Identify and protect Slice's key IP assets as the company continues to innovate. Product Counseling Serve as a trusted legal partner to Product and Engineering teams, advising on privacy, data, regulatory compliance, and legal risk in product development. Review new product features and initiatives to identify legal issues early and build solutions that support — rather than slow — the business. Help shape Slice's approach to AI-related legal and regulatory considerations as the company deepens its use of technology.
