Axio is a fast-growing startup working at the intersection of cybersecurity and insurance. Since raising our Series B funding in August 2022, we have accelerated our mission to empower organizations to understand, quantity, manage, and mitigate their cyber risk. With our innovative technology and data-driven insights, we are rapidly expanding internationally, helping businesses navigate the complex world of cybersecurity and insurance.

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Corporate Counsel to join our expanding team - who wants to work at an early-stage company, and is excited by the opportunity to truly roll up their sleeves on everything from the most critical strategic matters to the minutia needed to run a company as the single-person (for now) legal team.  In this role, you will provide strategic legal advice, ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and help drive our continued growth.


Responsibilities:

  • Provide legal advice and support on a wide range of corporate matters, including contracts, regulatory compliance, data privacy (including GDPR), employment law, and intellectual property.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate various commercial agreements, including customer agreements, vendor contracts, license agreements, and partnership agreements.
  • Manage and mitigate legal risk by developing and implementing appropriate policies, procedures, and training programs.
  • Assist in the expansion of Axio's international operations, including researching and advising on local laws, regulations, and licensing requirements.
  • Support corporate governance and board matters, including preparing resolutions, minutes, and other corporate documents.
  • Advise on and manage intellectual property matters, including patent, trademark, and copyright filings and enforcement.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that legal and business objectives are aligned and met.
  • Monitor and keep the company informed of relevant legal developments, regulatory changes, and industry trends.
  • Manage external legal counsel, as needed, to ensure cost-effective and high-quality legal representation.
  • Implement a contract management system including compiling and organizing existing legal documents 
  • Assist with any other legal or compliance-related matters, as needed.


Qualifications:

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and an active member in good standing of at least one state bar.
  • Minimum of 5 years of legal experience, preferably with a combination of law firm and in-house experience.
  • Demonstrated expertise in corporate law, contracts, and compliance matters.
  • Experience working with technology companies, especially in the cybersecurity or insurance sectors, is a strong plus.
  • Knowledge of international law and experience with cross-border transactions and expansion.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • A proactive, business-minded approach to problem-solving, with a commitment to providing practical legal advice and solutions.


What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and equity package.
  • Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
  • 401k with employer match
  • Flexible paid time off policy
  • Opportunities for career advancement within a fast-growing startup.
  • Axio is an Equal Opportunity Employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

Axions Bond Over a Passion for Cybersecurity
Product Marketing Manager Jackie Lentz brings over a decade of experience in the IT industry to Axio in its battle against cyber risk. “Cybersecurity is something that affects everyone — and I mean everyone — whether you work in the industry or not,” Lentz said in an Axio interview. She and her fellow Axions connect over a shared passion for enacting change. Cybersecurity “should be accessible and usable,” she said. “Understanding the evolving challenges in our threat landscape and creating useful content that will reach end-users in a meaningful way is a fun challenge,” she added.

Funding Change
Reimagining the Cybersecurity Landscape
Axio recently secured $23 million of Series B funding to help further its crusade against cyber risk. In a press release surrounding the funding, CEO and Co-Founder Scott Kannry shared his joy over the milestone and spoke to the shifting landscape of cybersecurity. “The attack landscape has demonstrated that old, faith-based strategies that layer on controls without a clear understanding of what to prioritize have done little to reduce susceptibility,” he said. “CEOs recognize that cybersecurity is a business problem — which requires discussion in financial terms."
