About Orchard

Orchard is radically simplifying the way people buy and sell their homes. For the average American, the home purchase and sale process takes months, creates anxiety, and is filled with uncertainty and hassle.

Orchard customers manage the entire experience through a personalized online dashboard, while also getting the support of best-in-class Orchard real estate agents.

Headquartered in New York City with teammates across the US, Orchard boasts over 150+ employees.

About the Role

Orchard is looking for an Associate General Counsel to join our dynamic and expanding team. As a member of the small but highly productive Legal & Regulatory team, you are ready to roll up your sleeves and make an immediate impact. You will play a key role in our growing business, partnering with teams across the company to help build and evolve our product offerings, expand to new jurisdictions, and further develop and mature our business lines, all while balancing business objectives and legal risk across the multiple highly-regulated sectors in which we operate. As the company continues to grow, there is significant opportunity to take on additional responsibilities and leadership roles.

The ideal candidate is a highly self-motivated, business-minded attorney who enjoys operating autonomously, successfully navigates ambiguity, and can manage multiple projects and competing priorities comfortably. This person brings extraordinary judgment and interpersonal skills to the role. While highly effective and an innovative thinker, you take a humble approach to your job, allowing your work to speak for itself. By building a track record of sound advice and success, you will become a trusted advisor to executive leadership and teams across the company. We are looking for candidates who are excited about the opportunity to help grow Orchard’s business in an entrepreneurial yet compliant manner, while working with diverse groups of stakeholders to get things done in a complex and fast moving environment.

This is a full-time role that will report to the General Counsel. The preferred location is New York City where we are on a hybrid schedule, 2-days a week in office. However, we are open to fully remote candidates in any of these hiring locations: Washington DC, CA, CO, FL, GA, MA, MI, MS, NC, NJ, NY, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA.
