Job description
Description
Role Overview
This is Masterschool's sole in-house legal position — a high-ownership, high-impact role at the center of everything we build and sign. You'll be the legal backbone of a fast-moving company: owning our commercial contracts end-to-end, supporting M&A and strategic transactions, managing equity and options programs, advising the board, and keeping the company compliant across jurisdictions.
We're not looking for a traditional in-house lawyer who gates decisions — we're looking for a legal operator who moves fast, thinks like a business partner, and gets deals done. The default here is "how do we make this work," not "here are the risks." Speed matters — and the ability to find ways to say yes safely.
What you'll do
Support M&A activity and strategic transactions: structuring, due diligence, negotiation, and closing.
Work cross-functionally with Finance, People, Product, and leadership to surface legal risk early and enable fast, informed decisions.
Own and manage all commercial contracts — MSAs, vendor agreements, partnership deals, student-facing terms — from first draft to signature.
Build and run the company's compliance framework across relevant jurisdictions (US, Israel, and others as we grow) — privacy, employment, regulatory, and corporate.
Serve as legal counsel to the Board: prepare board resolutions, maintain corporate governance records, and advise on board-level decisions.
Manage the company's equity program — option grants, vesting schedules, board approvals, and cap table accuracy.
Manage and coordinate external counsel where needed — efficiently and cost-consciously.
Requirements
What we're looking for
Business-first mindset — including 2+ years in a business-financial-legal role.
Operative, product-minded approach.
Analytical and financial orientation.
Fast, self-directed learner.
Hands-on by nature.
Strong contracts foundation.
M&A and transactions exposure.
Native English and Hebrew speaker.
Location: Full on-site, Tel Aviv.
Israeli / US Bar license - An advantage.
