We operate on the belief that impact is as important as profit , and work in collaboration with sex workers from around the globe to develop products and services that empower them to thrive, not just survive. Everyone should have the autonomy

to make decisions about their bodies and sexual lives without fear of violence or discrimination. This is a fundamental human right, and one that sex workers are still fighting for. If you’re eager to join a remote-first team

with diverse representation from sex worker, neurodivergent, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities, committed to advancing sex worker autonomy and liberation through advocacy and innovative products, read on. The role

As a Legal Counsel at Assembly Four, you are responsible for delivering high-quality legal advice and operational legal support within your delegated remit, under the direction of the General Counsel. You apply professional judgement to support Assembly Four’s legal integrity, regulatory compliance, and ethical standards, while continuing to build breadth and depth across core in-house practice areas. This role will work closely with our Customer and Platform groups, blending sound legal, ethical and risk judgment with commercial acumen. From assisting our developers and moderators, to co-ordinating cross-functional projects, your involvement in all aspects of the business is not just encouraged – it’s essential. As a result, it requires comfort working in both well established areas of legal precedent as well as novel and rapidly developing legal landscapes. What you'll do

Provide timely, accurate, and practical legal advice to internal stakeholders within your area of responsibility, under the supervision of the General Counsel. Manage a portfolio of legal matters, including recurring operational issues and low‑to‑medium risk matters, escalating appropriately where issues exceed delegated authority or risk tolerance. Support product, operational, and people teams by identifying legal risks, requirements, and options early in planning and delivery. Assist in translating legal advice into clear actions, guidance, and documentation for the business. Work closely within cross-functional teams to support the management, moderation and development of Assembly Four’s products. About you

Demonstrate solid technical legal skills and the ability to apply established law, precedents, and templates to day-to-day matters with limited supervision. Able to identify legal risk and assess its materiality in context. Communicate legal advice clearly and practically to non‑legal audiences and demonstrate the ability to bring together cross-functional teams to achieve great outcomes.

You know what you know, curious about what you don’t, and you’re prepared to have your assumptions challenged. Interested in learning about the complex intersection of laws and regulations that affect technology products, sex work, human rights, LGBTQIA+, and intersecting communities. In an ideal world, you would also have
