Flex is building the AI-native private bank for business owners.

We’re re-architecting the entire financial system for entrepreneurs—from the first dollar a business earns to how that value compounds, moves, and is ultimately spent in real life. Banking, credit, payments, personal finance, and financial operations—rebuilt from the ground up as a single, intelligent system. Flex is the full financial home for ambitious owners.

Since launching publicly in September 2023, Flex has scaled from zero to nine-figure annualized revenue, with a clear path to profitability by late 2026. We move fast, ship relentlessly, and operate with extreme ownership.

Our customers are affluent business owners ($3–$200M in revenue)—the backbone of the economy and one of the most underserved segments in finance. They’re stuck with outdated banks and fragmented tools. We’re replacing all of it. The opportunity is massive: a ~$1T+ revenue market hiding in plain sight. Our ambition is to build a $100B+ company by delivering a product that is fundamentally better—not incrementally improved.

Flex has raised $100M+ in equity and $300M+ in debt.

- Mission-critical problems: We build software that directly controls how money moves at scale.
- High bar, low ego: Small teams, exceptional people, real ownership.
- Speed over comfort: We prioritize execution, quality, clarity, and results.
- Enduring impact: What we’re building will define how a generation of owners runs their businesses.

Team & Locations

We hire exceptional people who want to build hard things and see their work matter immediately. Roles are available in: San Francisco, Miami, New York, and fully remote.

Flex Fuels Ambition.

About the Role

Be a part of something. Be an owner. Help take Flex to the next level. If you’ve got a passion for fintech, a bias toward action, and a deep-seated belief that legal should be in the room where it happens, not just reviewing what happened after the fact. . . then let us hear from you.
I’m looking for a corporate attorney to join my Legal & Compliance team at Flex. You’re going to be a key member of a small, high-impact team helping one of the most
innovative fintechs get even better. Your mandate is to own our corporate legal function,
from NDAs and commercial agreements to funding rounds and M&A. Part builder, part
doer, full-time owner. 

This role is for the ambitious who want to make a real impact at a company making a real difference for businesses everywhere. We’re an AI-Native Financial Services company, and yes, we’re actually building AI tools for our own legal team. Feel like creating agentic help to sort, sift, and review contracts? It’s not only encouraged, it’s required. We want you to tap into your creativity to leverage AI in new ways, giving Flex actionable legal tech that works for the people who actually use it.


What You’ll Do
  •  Negotiate NDAs, MSAs, SaaS contracts, vendor agreements, and the full
    spectrum of corporate agreements at Flex

  • Own corporate governance. Cap table maintenance, board and stockholder
    resolutions, entity management, and equity plan administration. The
    unglamorous stuff that keeps the company legally sound and investor-ready

  • Be in the room on M&A and strategic transactions, from early diligence through
    close. You’re not just reviewing documents, you’re helping shape the deal

  • Direct and manage outside counsel. You know how to get the most out of
    external partners without losing the thread or the budget

  • Build and own the contract process. Put your operational hat on and make life
    easier for yourself and your colleagues

  • Be a key stakeholder in Flex’s funding activities, working alongside outsidecounsel and internal stakeholders to carry deals from term sheet to close,whether that’s an equity round, a debt facility, or a major strategic partnership

  • Help build out our AI legal suite. Why buy someone else’s tools when we can build our own and 10x our reach?

  •  Manage corporate legal functions across HR, Finance, and Ops. We have a hand in all of it, and we work hand-in-hand with our business partners to shape strategy, provide real legal advice, and keep the company moving

  • Own Flex's IP posture, protecting our technology, brand, and proprietary assetsso that every deal, partnership, and vendor agreement we sign keeps our crownjewels exactly where they belong: with us.

 What Makes You a Great Fit
  • You get it. Completely, instinctively. You’re not here to say no. You’re not here to say yes. You’re here to advise and counsel on what we’re supposed to do.

  • You see around corners. You’re always one step ahead. You believe there’s a creative legal solution to every problem, and you’re not satisfied until you find it.

  • You hate mistakes. Missing a typo puts you in a bad mood. But then again, you don’t really make mistakes, so you’re rarely in a bad mood.

  • You know how to speak ‘business’, ‘product’, and ‘engineering’. You distill complex legal issues into clear, actionable guidance for founders, operators, and anyone else who needs to understand what’s going on.

  • You’re curious. Genuinely so. You ask questions. You dig. And when you need to be, you’re judgmental in exactly the right way: decisive, discerning, and not afraid to call it.

  • You’re a strategic builder. You don’t just manage legal, you build it. You see the gaps before anyone else does, and you fill them.

  • You’re hyper-focused on the details. The kind of person who catches what no one else caught.

  • You are deeply, fundamentally comfortable with the undefined. Startups aren’t linear, predictable, or the same thing each day. Flex is fast-paced and rapidly evolving, serious ambition behind it. You don’t just survive in that environment, you thrive in it.

What We’re Looking For:
  • 4+ years of corporate legal experience in-house at a startup or at a firm; strong preference for fintech, whether in-house or advisory
  •  Real deal reps: you’ve worked funding rounds, debt facilities, and/or major commercial partnerships and can speak fluently to all of it. Bonus if you’ve seen multiple deals all the way through.
  • Experience directing outside counsel. You know how to manage external partners effectively without losing control of the work or the budget
  • You’ve built legal infrastructure before, including the processes, playbooks, or systems that didn’t exist before you showed up
  • Genuine excitement about Flex’s mission and about being part of building something that actually matters
