Consumers and realtors deserve a better experience, and we have designed an open platform that welcomes everyone in the ecosystem to participate.
As members of the Ribbon team, we live out our mission every day through our core values:
Be an invited guest to dinner - Everything we do is in the service of the customer.
Be a (home) owner - If we see a problem, we address it head on without assuming someone else will do it.
Break new ground - We challenge conventional wisdom to create clever solutions and break down the walls.
Foster greatness - We grow and inspire the team around us to constantly make Ribbon better.
Engage with intellectual humility - We become our best selves through rigorous debate and adjusting opinions based on new information.
Your role:
Ribbon is looking for a General Counsel who will be a strategic business partner and serve as a key member of our leadership team. Reporting to the CFO, this individual will be responsible for building and setting the strategy for our legal and compliance functions, driving the execution of complex corporate transactions, and influencing and informing decision making across the company. The ideal candidate is a highly self-motivated, business-minded attorney who enjoys operating autonomously and brings extraordinary judgment and interpersonal skills to the role.

Serve as a strategic thought partner and legal advisor on business strategy, commercial transactions and operations

Draft, negotiate and review corporate transactions documents, including equity and debt financings, strategic partnerships, and vendor relationships
Develop a deep knowledge of the laws and regulations applicable to our business
What we're looking for:
BA/BS, JD, and ability to practice law in New York
10+ years of experience at a top law firm or in-house (ideally a combination of both)
Exceptional judgment and ability to act decisively and with discretion with situations requiring quick but thorough analysis and decision-making
Ability to think creatively and critically, and thrive in a dynamic and often ambiguous work environment
Demonstrated ability influencing cross-functional decisions and managing an array of internal and external stakeholders on corporate governance, strategic transactions, and employment matters
Proven experience building and leading teams in high-growth environments
Exceptional communication and negotiation skills
Bonus points:
Residential real estate experience, with a deep knowledge of RESPA
Experience working in a heavily regulated market (e.g. financial services)
What we offer:
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Flexible, unlimited vacation
Regular team lunches
Discounted fitness benefits
401(k)
Commuter benefits
FSA + HSA
Learning + development stipend
Meaningful equity in the company
Even if you don’t meet all the requirements, we encourage you to apply! If you’d be excited to show up for work each day, we’d be excited to have you on our team.
Here at Ribbon we’re not scared of differences. It’s how we break new ground. As we scale and we help families from every walk of life, the team we build must be reflective of the diversity that we serve. Together, we’ve built and will continue to grow, a diverse and inclusive culture where everyone has a seat at the table and the space to be their most authentic self.
