With GoGuardian, educators can engage students with more effective resources while also promoting online accessibility in the most applicable way for their school population.

This role will support senior counsel and assist on a broad variety of corporate legal matters. While we seek an individual with a strong background in technology and commercial contracts, this person must also be willing to assist with other corporate and compliance matters to support our growing company. This is a generalist position and will require a broad-based legal skill set and the ability to apply legal knowledge and skills to new situations and issues. The ideal candidate will be entrepreneurial, ready to grow, and comfortable working in an ambiguous, quickly-changing environment.
