Lawyer jobs in New York, NY

About the role

We are a small, ambitious legal team that moves fast, takes ownership seriously, and genuinely enjoys the work we do together. Everyone on the team has real scope, and we invest in each other. This role is for a lawyer who loves what they do, and is keen to focus on commercial contracts. You will be the primary legal contact for Sales and RevOps, owning the deal flow that keeps the business moving and building real relationships with the people you support. Contracting with 9fin’s clients is the core, but negotiating with vendors also sits alongside that as an equally important part of the role. There is room to stretch into adjacent areas when the business needs it, and plenty of opportunity to grow as the team does. You have at least 5 years PQE, English or New York qualified, and looking for a role where your work genuinely matters from day one. We are open to London or New York, and will decide based on the strength of the candidate. You will report to the VP, General Counsel and work alongside a team that will back you.
