Associate General Counsel Jobs in Sandy, UT (NOW HIRING)

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?

Flex is hiring an Associate General Counsel, Product & Regulatory to join our Product & Regulatory Legal team. This role leads cross-functional legal projects with company-wide impact — partnering directly with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Finance, and BD to shape how Flex navigates a complex and evolving consumer financial regulatory landscape. You’ll drive multiple strategic decisions simultaneously and own significant portions of the legal function roadmap.

• Lead cross-functional legal projects from intake to resolution — setting strategy, driving decisions, and coordinating across teams
• Serve as the senior legal partner for product and engineering, providing real-time guidance on new features, product enhancements, and go-to-market strategy
• Own regulatory change management end-to-end: monitor federal and state developments (CFPB, state AGs, state legislatures), assess business impact, and recommend a path forward
• Advise senior leaders on consumer regulatory risk, enforcement trends, and litigation exposure across Flex’s product lines
• Review and negotiate BD and partner agreements for consumer regulatory risk
• Identify opportunities to integrate new legal tools and workflows; coordinate with IT and Security to expand legal tech infrastructure
• Own the legal AI governance framework — define acceptable use standards, output review protocols, and escalation criteria; represent Legal in cross-functional AI working groups

• 7+ years of legal experience with deep consumer financial services expertise — fintech, bank, CFPB/state agency, or outside counsel in this space
• Strong grasp of the consumer financial regulatory stack: CFPB rulemaking, Reg Z/TILA, UDAP/UDAAP, money transmission, state licensing (servicing, brokering)
• Proven track record advising product and engineering teams directly and influencing decisions at the senior leadership level
• Experience leading complex, cross-functional legal projects with significant company-wide impact
• Comfortable operating fast and with incomplete information — gives useful guidance before all the facts are in
• Clear, plain-English communicator; no one at Flex reads memos
• JD from an accredited law school; active bar admission required

• Experience with rent-adjacent fintech, payments, or embedded finance products
