Bessemer Venture Partners India
ABOUT OnX We’re a team of builders, adventurers, and risk takers using technology to help people confidently explore the outdoors. Driven by our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone, we build products that optimize every outdoor experience and inspire confidence to get out and go further. We’re a high-growth tech company. The pace is fast, the work takes grit, and ambiguity is part of the job. As the world changes around us, we adapt - continuously evolving how we build, prioritize, and deliver. Our business moves quickly, and there’s real opportunity to shape what we build next. Each of our verticals - Hunt, Offroad, Backcountry, and Fish - is at a different stage of maturity, which means the challenges you encounter and the impact you have will vary depending on where you sit and what the business needs most. We operate with an experimentation mindset, continually iterating and improving how we solve problems. We expect our people to use the latest tooling, including AI, thoughtfully and responsibly, pairing human judgment with technology to increase quality, speed, and impact. Our impact comes to life through the products we build, in the stories of our customers, and in our growing commitment to land stewardship and recreational access.

As onX continues to grow, we're expanding our attorney-level capacity to help advance increasingly complex legal matters, support new company-wide opportunities, and enable Legal to partner even more proactively with the business.

You will partner closely with stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Partnerships, CX, Finance, and Operations to translate legal considerations into practical business decisions. The primary focus of this role is providing legal judgment, guidance, and execution across a wide range of business-critical matters. We believe technology, including AI, will continue to improve how legal work gets done. While this is not a legal operations or AI-focused role, we are looking for someone who is curious about new tools and who strategically incorporates them into the team’s work to improve judgment, quality, speed, and effectiveness.
