Manifest Os The Associate General Counsel supports Manifest OS through legal ethics, privacy, AI regulation, commercial contracts, and immigration matters. This generalist role involves shaping compliance programs and providing practical legal advice across the company.

Responsibilities

We're hiring an Associate General Counsel to help us scale through a critical growth period. You'll work across legal ethics, privacy, AI regulation, commercial contracts, immigration, and whatever else the business needs — this is a generalist role defined by judgment, not narrow specialization. You'll have real ownership: shaping compliance programs, building vendor relationships, and defining how legal risk is managed as we grow. You'll work directly with founders and executives who treat legal as a strategic partner.
Build privacy and AI compliance frameworks that enable speed without unnecessary risk
Translate regulatory requirements into practical guidance for product, engineering, and operations
Review and negotiate vendor contracts, customer agreements, and partnership deals
Support M&A and fundraising transactions as needed
Serve as the go-to legal partner for cross-functional teams across the company
Experiment with AI tools to automate routine legal work and improve team efficiency
Help define what modern, technology-enabled legal operations looks like at Manifest

This is for you if...
You want real ownership, not a seat at someone else's roadmap. You're energized by variety and comfortable making judgment calls in ambiguous situations. You're genuinely curious about AI as a tool to do better legal work, not a threat to it.
Not for you if...
You need clearly defined processes and a well-structured team to do your best work. You want to specialize in one area of law rather than operate across many. You're drawn to title and prestige over building something meaningful from the ground up.
