Job Details

Overview:

At Corporate Tools, we believe legal strategy shouldn't feel like a speed bump-it should drive the vehicle. We're looking for a Legal Director who sees law not as paperwork, but as gameplay. Someone who knows how to navigate regulations with a machete in one hand and a whiteboard marker in the other. If you're tired of the suits, the jargon, and the snail-paced "let's circle back" culture, we built this job for you.

You'll lead a growing team of talented attorneys in a company that moves fast, breaks boring rules, and builds actual things (yes, including software, services, and a lot of companies). You'll own legal strategy across M&A, global expansion, government contracts, IP, real estate, and the occasional delightful legal oddity. You'll report directly to the COO and work closely with execs across every department.

We need someone sharp, experienced, and deeply competent-but also weird enough to hang. This isn't a corporate gig pretending to be cool. It's a genuinely fun, radically human workplace doing big, ambitious things, and we want a legal leader who gets that.

This position is coded as 'Hybrid,' meaning occasional remote work is available. Ideally, the candidate will be located in the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene metro area, but we're open to candidates in surrounding communities within reasonable commuting distance. The expectation is that the person in this role will work consistently from our Post Falls, ID or Spokane, WA office to stay closely connected with local executive teams and actively participate in in-person meetings.
