## Job description

## About Amperity—Why This, Why Now

Most customer data is a lie by omission.

Every consumer brand wants to know its customers. Unfortunately, almost none actually do. Data is scattered across a dozen systems, half of it contradicts the other half, and "insights" teams are forced to act on incomplete guesses. We started [Amperity](https://amperity.com/) ten years ago because that gap—between what a brand believes about its customers and what is true—is the most expensive problem in the industry, and nobody had solved it.

With a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, we did. Our patented identity resolution takes billions of messy, conflicting records and resolves them into an accurate picture of a real human being—in hours, not months. That’s not a feature; it’s the foundation everything else stands on. It’s why [more than 400 brands](https://amperity.com/customers)—like Alaska Airlines, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, DICK’S Sporting Goods, Virgin Atlantic, and Brooks Running—trust us with the one thing they can’t afford to get wrong, and why IDC named us a Leader in the category in 2026.

Now we’re doing something harder. We’re rebuilding Amperity as an AI-first company—not bolting a chatbot onto old software, but putting agents at the center of how customer data actually gets used. We shipped the industry’s first identity resolution agent, then the first enterprise Customer Data Agent that turns a plain-language question into a live segment without waiting on an engineering queue. The bet underneath all of it is simple, and we think it’s correct: The potential of AI will not be realized for a brand until it’s grounded and activated against a true, unified view of the customer. The market at-large is focused on intelligence, and we are focused on being  the ones who can make it trustworthy.

So here’s the honest pitch. If you want a tour of a category that’s already been figured out, this isn’t it. If you want to help decide what the next version of an entire industry looks like—alongside people who are remarkably exceptional at what they do, solving a problem that requires deep, sustained focus—this is one of the few places that work exists. Our goal is to build a highly impactful, generational business.

We measure our success by one standard: whether what we build moves the business. Return on cognition, not return on hype. If that’s how you want to be measured, we would love to speak with you.

## The Role

Amperity is looking for a Head of Legal to lead the legal function and serve as a trusted advisor to our executive team and business leaders.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will set the legal strategy and operating model for the company while staying close enough to the work to understand where risk, friction, and opportunity actually exist. You’ll advise on the issues that matter most to the business—from complex enterprise transactions and product development to privacy, AI, employment, corporate matters, partnerships, and strategic decisions.

In addition, you will establish a modern, speed-oriented, and commercially aligned legal operating model centered around an AI-first strategy. Rather than treating AI as a trial or supplemental tool, you will embed it directly into daily legal operations to streamline research and contract review, uncover key insights and risks, capture institutional knowledge, automate routine tasks, and maximize the impact of a lean team.

Success isn’t measured by how much work Legal touches. It’s measured by whether Amperity can make better decisions, move faster with appropriate risk, and scale without Legal becoming a bottleneck.

Interesting Problems

- Make contracting faster and more predictable. Set clear review standards, templates, fallback positions, approval rights, and escalation paths. Work with Sales, Finance, Security, Product, and Services to address delays within Amperity’s control.
- Build an AI-first legal workflow. Use AI where appropriate for research, initial review, drafting, and knowledge retrieval while maintaining confidentiality, accuracy, and legal judgment.
- Help teams make informed decisions. Explain material risks and tradeoffs clearly, including when the available information is incomplete.
- Turn legal work into business insight. Identify patterns in customer negotiations, contractual commitments, disputes, and regulatory changes that should inform product and company decisions.
- Scale the function deliberately. Decide what should be handled by the team, supported by outside counsel, automated, or made available through self-service resources.

Success Measures

In your first year, you will:

- Earn the trust of executives and business leaders as an advisor who provides clear recommendations and helps decisions move forward.
- Improve the speed and predictability of commercial contracting while maintaining appropriate protections.
- Establish a legal operating model with clear ownership, approval standards, playbooks, and escalation paths.
- Put AI-enabled workflows into regular use and shown where they improve the team’s capacity, consistency, or quality.
- Improve visibility into material legal risks, contractual obligations, recurring negotiation issues, and sources of delay.

## About You

- You have a JD and are an active member in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar.
- You have led legal work in an enterprise technology, SaaS, cloud, data, or AI business, including complex commercial transactions.
- You can advise senior leaders across a broad range of matters, make practical recommendations, and recognize when specialist expertise is needed.
- You have built or improved legal processes that help a business operate at scale.
- You use AI in your own work and can identify where it improves legal workflows, alongside the controls those workflows require.
- You communicate clearly, work effectively across functions, and pair candid advice with ownership of business outcomes.
