Catalyst Labs is a leading talent agency specializing in Legal, Regulatory Compliance, and Corporate Governance. We work as an embedded extension of our clients’ executive and in‑house legal teams.
We collaborate directly with General Counsels, Chief Compliance Officers, Partners, and Heads of Legal across Tier 1 law firms, VC‑backed startups, high‑growth technology firms, investment entities, financial institutions, and global corporations and consultancies.
We offer opportunities across California, New York, Washington D.C., London, and select hubs across Europe.
Qualifications
Proven experience advising, interpreting, or executing legal and compliance frameworks in live business environments.
Background in a respected law firm, a top‑tier corporate legal team, a regulated financial institution, or a high‑caliber compliance function.
Strong understanding of core legal fundamentals such as regulatory interpretation, contract structuring, governance controls, and risk assessment.
Hands‑on experience with at least one major area of specialization (e.g., Corporate/Commercial, Real Estate, Venture capital/Private equity/M&A, Employment & Labor, Finance/Fintech/Payments Compliance, Regulatory Compliance, Data Privacy (GDPR, CCPA), Securities & Investment Regulation, Digital Assets/Web3 Regulation, Anti‑Money Laundering/KYC/Sanctions, Internal Investigations/Litigation).
Familiarity with modern compliance and legal operations workflows: policy drafting & governance frameworks, risk assessment methodologies, compliance monitoring systems, contract lifecycle management, regulatory reporting, cross‑border entity compliance.
Experience interacting with regulators, auditors, external counsel, or internal leadership is highly valued.
Experience in emerging regulatory areas such as AI governance, algorithmic transparency, digital identity, or cybersecurity law.
Strong research, drafting, and advisory skills, with the ability to translate complex regulatory obligations into actionable guidance for business teams.
Experience mentoring junior staff, leading cross‑functional compliance initiatives, or partnering with executive stakeholders.
Track record of impactful cases, regulatory submissions, process improvements, policy frameworks, or crisis‑management contributions will make you stand out.
