Job Details

At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.


We’re looking for a skilled and pragmatic attorney to join our Legal team, bringing expertise in global manufacturing and supply chain operations. This role is critical in supporting WHOOP’s expansion and innovation efforts, ensuring legal compliance and risk mitigation while enabling our teams to move quickly and confidently in a fast-paced environment.


As Corporate Counsel, Trade Compliance & Manufacturing, you will work cross-functionally with teams across hardware, operations, and logistics, providing strategic legal advice related to manufacturing, global trade compliance, and supply chain operations. You’ll be a key legal partner in supporting the company’s global reach and operational efficiency.


RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Advise on legal matters related to manufacturing, including contract negotiation, supply chain diligence, regulatory compliance, and risk management.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate agreements with suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics providers.
  • Lead dispute resolution with vendors, including through litigation with outside counsel support.  
  • Provide practical guidance on global trade compliance laws and regulations, including export controls, customs requirements, and sanctions.
  • Support cross-border supply chain and logistics operations with legal insights that anticipate and mitigate risk.
  • Partner with the hardware and operations teams to ensure WHOOP products are manufactured and distributed in compliance with all applicable laws and standards.
  • Develop and deliver training and policy documents related to manufacturing law and trade compliance to internal stakeholders.


QUALIFICATIONS:
  • J.D. from an accredited law school and admitted to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • 5+ years of relevant legal experience, including at least 1-2 years in-house with a focus on commercial contracts, manufacturing, and compliance.
  • Deep experience negotiating complex commercial agreements with manufacturing and logistics partners.
  • Understanding of international trade laws, including U.S. export controls (EAR, ITAR), customs compliance, and sanctions.
  • Ability to translate complex legal concepts into practical guidance for business teams.
  • Strong communicator and team player with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
  • Passion for technology and innovation, with a solution-oriented approach to legal challenges.
  • Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
  • Desire to learn and grow, stretching into areas that are not core strengths, as needed to support business initiatives.
  • Prior in-house experience supporting global high-growth companies strongly preferred.


This role is based out of our WHOOP HQ in Boston, MA. The successful candidate must be prepared to relocate if necessary to work out of our Boston HQ.


Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply! At WHOOP, we believe there is much more to a candidate than what is written on paper, and we value character as much as experience. As we continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment, we encourage anyone who is interested in this role to apply.
