Join the Tilt team

At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.

The Opportunity: Corporate Counsel

This is a generalist seat with real ownership. You'll work across commercial, corporate, capital markets, M&A, and employment matters — not as support, but as a trusted partner to the business. You'll sit alongside a senior attorney and work directly with cross-functional leaders, which means your judgment will be in the room for decisions that shape how Tilt operates and grows. We're on the path to an IPO, expanding internationally, and building out an ABS platform — the work is complex, and the opportunity to grow with it is real. We don't expect depth across every area. We need meaningful experience in several, and the intellectual drive to move quickly in the ones you haven't mastered yet.

How You'll Make an Impact
  • Own the commercial contract function — negotiate vendor agreements, tech and data integrations, marketing partnerships, and bank relationships. Build and maintain templates and playbooks, and use AI tooling to make the whole operation leaner.

  • Drive corporate governance — manage board and committee materials, consents, minutes, and corporate records across the company and its subsidiaries. Support cap table matters, equity administration, and the governance work required to get IPO-ready.

  • Lead on capital markets transactions — support equity and debt financings from term sheet through closing, including structured warehouse facilities. Help build out Tilt's ABS platform and manage ongoing covenant compliance and lender diligence.

  • Support M&A from the inside — participate in domestic and cross-border transactions with hands-on drafting and negotiation on smaller deals, diligence support on larger ones, and post-closing integration work.

  • Partner with People on employment matters — advise on labor and employment questions with a focus on reducing exposure, and support equity compensation management including option grants and potential RSU transition.

  • Help build the international legal playbook — as Tilt expands across markets, you'll develop the cross-border frameworks that let us move with confidence.

Why You're a Great Fit
  • J.D. and active bar admission in at least one U.S. state

  • 4–6 years of experience, with meaningful depth in at least two or three of the areas above — commercial contracts, corporate governance, capital markets, M&A, or employment

  • Demonstrated ability to own workstreams independently and make sound judgment calls without waiting for direction

  • A track record of working across functions — you communicate legal complexity clearly to people who aren't lawyers, and you make the teams around you sharper

  • Sharp written and verbal communication; you know how to be precise without being inaccessible

  • Genuine interest in fintech or consumer finance — you don't need to be an expert, but you need to want to become one

  • Comfort with AI-assisted legal workflows (familiarity with tools like Claude, N8N, or contract automation platforms is a plus)

Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you.

What you'll get at Tilt
  • Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.

  • Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity.

  • Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards.

  • Visibility is yours: You can count on direct exposure to our leadership team — we’re a team where good ideas travel quickly.

  • Paid global onsites: Magic happens IRL: we gather twice yearly to reconnect over shared meals or kayaking adventures. (We’ve visited Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City, to name a few.)

  • Impact is recognized: Growth opportunities follow your contributions, not rigid promotion timelines.

The Tilt Way

We're looking for people who chase excellence and impact. Those who stand behind their work, celebrating the wins and learning from the missteps equally. We foster an environment where every voice is valued and mutual respect is non-negotiable — brilliant jerks need not apply. We're in this together, working to expand access to fair credit and prove that people are incredible. When you join us, it's not just another day at the [virtual] office, you're helping millions of hardworking people reach better financial futures.

You’re pushing ahead in your career? We can get behind that. Join us in building the credit system that people deserve.
