About this role

Taktile empowers financial institutions to transform into truly AI-native organizations. We’re growing rapidly with enterprise customers across banks and insurance companies, and we’re looking for a Head of Legal.

What you'll do

Design the function's next chapter. Build on the existing foundation of templates, the in-progress Ironclad rollout, and the structure the US and EU fractional GCs have put in place, then decide what evolves, what gets automated, and what a growing team should own versus what stays with outside counsel. You set the roadmap for where le...
