Human Interest seeks a Product Counsel, ERISA & Operations to serve as the in-house ERISA expert, guiding the company’s mission to expand retirement plan access for small and mid-sized businesses. This role sits at the intersection of ERISA, technology, and operations, supporting both customer-facing and product teams as Human Interest builds a modern, accessible 401(k) recordkeeping platform.
The Product Counsel will provide real-time, practical legal guidance on ERISA, IRC, and fiduciary matters, ensuring operational compliance and translating complex regulatory requirements into actionable, plain-language advice. Responsibilities include advising on plan sponsor and participant questions, reviewing disclosures and communications for compliance, and supporting the product team with subject matter expertise as new features are developed. The role requires deep ERISA expertise, strong business judgment, and fluency with AI tools in legal workflows.
Ideal candidates bring 5–8 years of substantive ERISA experience focused on qualified retirement plans, including at least two years in a law firm setting, and a proven ability to advise non-legal teams in fast-paced environments. Experience with operational compliance, fiduciary rules, and product or technology-driven legal issues is essential. Admission to the bar and a collaborative, cross-functional approach are required.
Join Human Interest to help close the retirement gap and shape the future of financial security for millions of employees.
