Commercial & Product Counsel

The Dollar is the best product in the history of the world - there is infinite global demand. But international fintechs and banks are left with two unsatisfying options to choose from: Either build on legacy correspondent banks that are slow and unreliable, or interface with middleware providers that neither move nor hold the dollars directly, but instead rely on underlying legacy banks themselves. At Augustus, we collapse the stack by combining two things: A real, national bank charter (in organization), and Marble, our proprietary core banking system, built around intelligence, made of code.

We are a group of ex-founders, founding employees of unicorns, and people who dropped out of university because they believe this is an industry and career defining opportunity. We are backed with more than $200M from Peter Thiel's Valar Ventures, Tiger Global, Hummingbird, QED, Creandum, and the founders of Nubank, Ramp, Deel, Circle, Fluidstack, Fuse, and Etched.

As Commercial & Product Counsel at Augustus, you own the legal work behind everything we build, sell and market in the US. You’re the lawyer the business calls first.

You join new products from day one: you structure them, spot risk early and get them to market without legal becoming the bottleneck. You lead commercial negotiations with our enterprise clients and own contracting end to end, from templates and playbooks to signature. You review and shape our marketing so it ships fast and stays compliant.

You report to Ro, our Global Chief Legal and Risk Officer, and work closely with Product, Sales, Marketing and Compliance. The team is small, so you have full ownership and make the calls yourself.
