Managing Chief Counsel
Oasis is an independent consumer health testing platform used by over one million people. We lab-test the products people put in and on their bodies, including bottled water, filters, supplements, and skincare, and publish the results alongside the underlying lab data. We don't take money from brands to influence scores.
This is not a quiet in-house job. Oasis publishes independent test results about real products from real companies, and that work draws legal pressure — often from companies with far deeper pockets than ours. We're a small independent company, not a corporation with an unlimited legal budget. You'll be the legal owner for the whole company, working directly with the founder.
Manage active litigation and disputes, including directing and coordinating outside counsel, controlling legal spend, and driving strategy
Run pre-publication legal review of test results, scores, and content before they go live
Own regulatory questions across FTC advertising rules, California Prop 65, and state consumer protection laws
Negotiate and manage commercial contracts, including lab testing agreements and partnerships
Build lightweight legal processes that let a small team publish fast without publishing recklessly
Very good at what you do, with real experience across litigation and in-house, media, or publisher-side work — we care more about judgment and fight than years on a resume
Experience defending publishers, reviewers, ratings platforms, or consumer advocacy organizations is a major plus
Comfortable being the only lawyer in the building and making judgment calls with incomplete information
You tell the founder the real risk in plain English, once, and then help execute
We'll be upfront: we're a small independent company, and cash compensation is below big-firm market. Equity is meaningful. If you want your legal work to matter to a million people, it might be.
