About KOHOWe’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.
At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.
KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in.
About The RoleAs
Senior Legal Counsel, Commercial & Corporate, you will provide legal support for across both KOHO Tech and KOHO Bank (letters patent pending).
You will work closely with all areas of the business and in particular, Procurement, Partnerships, and People & Culture teams to provide practical legal advice..
This role is ideal for a lawyer who enjoys rolling up the sleeves and building new things, solving complex regulatory questions, and taking ownership of outcomes in a fast-moving, flat organization.
What You’ll Do
Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including complex arrangements with banking, processing and technology partners / vendors
Support our product and partnerships teams on structuring and documenting strategic partnerships
Use AI to build legal workflows including contract templates and contract lifecycle management
Provide support to Enterprise and Third-Party Risk Management initiatives
Support employment law matters
Support general corporate matters including equity fundraises and corporate debt transactions
What You’ll Bring
6-8+ years post-call experience as a lawyer practicing in Canada (in-house and/or at a law firm)
Contract negotiation and drafting skills

Ways of Working
High-agency and entrepreneurial:
You take ownership, figure things out, and move problems forward without waiting for perfect instructions or established processes.
Commercial and pragmatic:
You understand that Legal’s job is to help the business achieve its goals while making smart, risk-calibrated decisions (not simply identify what could go wrong).
Curious and solutions-oriented:
You enjoy getting into the weeds of how products and technology actually work, asking the right questions, and finding creative paths through ambiguity.
A builder:
You don’t just solve the problem in front of you. You also look for ways to turn recurring problems into better processes, playbooks, tools, and systems.
Low-ego, high self-awareness:
You’re confident in your judgment but genuinely open to being challenged, changing your mind, and learning from others.
Comfortable with ambiguity and speed:
You can make progress with incomplete information, prioritize effectively, and operate calmly when the roadmap changes.
Technically curious:
