Build the Legal Engine of a High-Growth SaaS Company
Rentvine is a fast-growing, private equity-backed SaaS company transforming how property managers operate across the United States. Backed by Mainsail Partners and founder-led, we are scaling rapidly — both organically and through acquisition — and building the infrastructure to support our next stage of growth. We provide an end-to-end software platform supporting leasing, screening & applications, insurance, accounting, payment processing, maintenance, and marketing for single-family rental property managers nationwide.
As we scale, we are ready to hire our first in-house legal leader. This is a rare opportunity to build and own the legal function from the ground up at a high-growth, PE-backed SaaS business.

Reporting directly to the CFO and partnering closely with executive leadership, you will help the company scale responsibly while enabling the business to move fast.
