Head of Legal Affairs (First In-House Attorney), San Francisco, CA (917-SLS)

Our client, a fast-growing enterprise SaaS AI company, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to hire its first in-house attorney and Head of Legal Affairs. This is a rare opportunity to build and lead the legal function at a high-growth company partnering with sophisticated enterprise customers, working directly with a seasoned founding team that has successfully scaled and exited a prior business.

This role will be deeply embedded with sales and go-to-market leadership, owning the company’s most critical commercial work while building scalable legal processes to support continued growth. The successful candidate will operate as a true business partner—helping accelerate deal velocity, manage risk thoughtfully, and support the company’s evolution from growth-stage to scale.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a business-minded attorney who wants to build a modern legal function, sit close to revenue, and partner directly with leadership during a critical stage of growth. The role is based in San Francisco with an in-office, highly collaborative culture and flexibility in scheduling.

The company offers a competitive base salary, targeted in the high $200s, along with a meaningful equity grant. Final compensation will depend on experience, scope, and seniority, with opportunity for increased responsibility as the company scales.

Solutus Legal Search has been selected as the exclusive representative on this search. Resumes submitted directly to the company will be routed to Solutus for review.
