VP, Legal Remote — United States Legal / Full-time
About QSIC
QSIC is an Audio + AI company redefining what in-store means for retailers and brands worldwide. We use intelligent audio to drive real, measurable commercial outcomes — and we move fast. We work with some of the largest retailers on the planet, including Dollar General and 7-Eleven, across the US, Australia, UK/Europe, and Mexico.
We're building something genuinely new. Now we need the legal function to match.
The role
You will be the sole in-house legal resource, reporting to the CFO. This is a high-autonomy, high-breadth role.
You'll own the entire legal function: commercial contracts, corporate governance, IP, music licensing, international expansion, securities, compliance, and outside counsel management across four jurisdictions. The breadth is real. So is the autonomy.
This is not a role where you maintain what already exists. Policies and processes are being built, not maintained. You will write the playbook.
\nYou'll own:
Commercial and Contracts
- Enterprise agreements with major retailers and brand partners — MSAs, SOWs, data agreements, addenda
- Legal review and negotiation across the full commercial lifecycle
Corporate Governance
- Board resolutions, annual minutes, and entity maintenance across US, AU, UK, and MX
- Corporate transactions: restructures, secondary sales, and debt facilities
IP and Licensing
- Patents, trademarks, and music rights across multiple collecting societies and PROs
- Licensing strategy as the product evolves
International Expansion
- Entity formation, local employment agreements, GDPR and privacy compliance, and regulatory clearance in new markets
Securities and Capital
- Loan documentation, warrant and option administration, ESOP, 409A valuations, and cap table oversight
Outside Counsel and Risk
- Management of a panel of external counsel across 4+ jurisdictions — budget ownership, prioritisation, vendor selection
- Advisory to leadership on compliance (SOC2, ISO), AI policy, data privacy, and emerging regulatory issues
You'll bring:
- 8–12 years PQE, with meaningful time at a top-tier law firm and in-house at a growth-stage technology company
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a sole or first in-house lawyer, self-directing across multiple legal domains
- Commercial contract experience with enterprise customers — ideally in retail, media, or SaaS
- Cross-border legal experience across the US and at least one of AU, UK, or LATAM
- Outside counsel management: budget ownership, panel coordination, vendor selection
- Genuine fluency with technology, and comfort operating in an AI-forward environment
Bonus points for:
- Music licensing or content rights experience (collecting societies, PROs, digital distribution)
- Holdco restructure or corporate reorganisation experience
- Familiarity with Australian corporate law alongside US
Who you are:
This is as much a personality hire as an experience hire.
You thrive on breadth, not depth — energised by switching between a patent filing, an enterprise contract, and a board resolution in the same day. You're a pragmatic problem-solver, not a risk-averse blocker. You communicate directly: the CFO and CEO want a clear recommendation and the two risks they need to know about, not a 10-page memo.
You have high EQ and cultural awareness — comfortable working across AU, US, and European teams with different working styles. You're at ease with ambiguity, because you're writing the playbook, not maintaining one. You manage up: proactively flagging issues, proposing solutions, and holding leadership accountable on legal timelines. And you're low-ego and collaborative. QSIC values loyalty, resilience, and humour. The legal function should reflect that.
Who we are:
We live by four values:
Honesty First: Frank, direct, respectful, and fair. We choose honesty over getting it perfect.
Invent Solutions: We see a problem and solve it. No dwelling, no excuses.
Laugh and Learn: Genuine curiosity, never taking ourselves too seriously.
One Team: Diverse people, one direction. That's what makes us great.
A note on applications:
There's no such thing as a perfect candidate. However you identify, and whatever background you bring, if this role excites you, please apply. QSIC is an equal opportunity employer and we know a diverse workforce makes us better.
