Corporate Counsel

About the role

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 are not just changing how people access financial products - we are creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward. This role is a generalist position designed for someone who wants real ownership and direct influence. You will work across commercial, corporate, capital markets, M&A, and employment matters as a trusted partner to the business, not as a backline function. You will sit alongside senior leadership and have your judgment in the room for decisions that shape how Tilt operates and grows. The company is on a path to an IPO, expanding internationally, and building out an ABS platform, so the work is complex and the opportunity to grow with it is real. We need someone with meaningful experience in several areas and the intellectual drive to move quickly in the ones you have not mastered yet.
