Role Overview

Puffy is hiring a General Counsel to own the in-house legal function across a consumer brand, family office, and multi-jurisdictional structuring activities.

The role reports directly to the CEO and converts legal exposure into documented, managed risk before it reaches the business.

The position operates as the sole legal resource with authority across consumer compliance, fund documentation, asset structuring, and outside counsel relationships.

Compensation

  • Total annual package is up to USD 242,000 plus comprehensive benefits.
  • Compensation includes base salary and a monthly performance bonus of up to 10% of base salary.
  • Annual salary reviews take place every January.

Workplace

  • The position is remote globally with meaningful time zone overlap.
  • Employees may choose to work from the Dubai office, with relocation and visa sponsorship support available.
  • The organization describes its work environment as remote-first and AI-first.

First-Year Priorities

  • Build a monthly legal exposure audit into the operating rhythm of the business.
  • Run quarterly compliance sweeps across checkout flows, terms, arbitration clauses, pricing, and FTC endorsement guidelines.
  • Negotiate hedge fund subscriptions, side letters, and LP terms before capital deployment.
  • Review fund documentation, custody arrangements, loan covenants, and counterparty protocols quarterly.
  • Enforce account whitelists, multi-party verification, and transfer protocols for investment security.
  • Structure asset protection across multiple international jurisdictions.
  • Identify five material legal risks that were not assigned within the first 90 days.

Required Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school and admission to the bar in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • Five to ten years of legal experience, ideally across law firm and in-house roles.
  • Experience managing multiple outside counsel relationships simultaneously.
  • Ability to operate independently as the sole legal resource.
  • Active use of AI tools for legal research, drafting, and risk identification.
  • Proactive legal risk identification, cross-border legal coordination, and independent judgment are required.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Corporate or commercial law experience at a mid-market or BigLaw firm before moving in-house.
  • Exposure to fund finance, LP agreements, or NAV-based lending.
  • Familiarity with consumer protection law, FTC and state statutes, or DTC e-commerce regulation.
  • Experience supporting corporate transactions or due diligence.
  • High-net-worth or family office client experience.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance based on country of hire.
  • Generous paid time off and public holidays.
  • Learning and development opportunities with international team collaboration.
  • Eligibility for leadership recognition programs and related rewards.
