Legal and Business Operations Lead

Hybrid in San Diego (La Jolla/UTC) or New York City – 3 days/week in-office About Prism Data:

Prism Data is building the future of credit risk assessment using modern data science and transaction-level financial data. Our API-based platform enables banks, fintechs, and lenders to use automated cash flow underwriting—analyzing detailed banking history in real time—to improve credit decisions, expand approvals, and reduce losses.

We believe cash flow tells a more accurate story than traditional credit scores alone, and we’re building products that help credit providers make faster, fairer decisions.

Prism transforms raw transaction data from any source into highly structured, explainable features and predictive risk scores, including the market-leading Cash Score®. Our products sit at the intersection of data engineering, machine learning, and regulated financial decisioning—and are trusted by some of the largest financial institutions and fastest-growing fintechs in the country.

Prism is well-funded and backed by leading strategic investors like Synchrony and Citi, along with top-tier venture firms including Obvious Ventures, Valar Ventures, and Core Innovation Capital.

Prism is hiring a Legal and Business Operations Lead to systematize and build operational leverage across our legal, regulatory, and general business functions. You will partner closely with teammates across the company in this role and should be passionate about using technology to take on operational inefficiencies and implement scalable solutions.

Working closely with our revenue teams, you will build and manage best-in-class operations for legal to support sales, partnerships, and marketing enablement, including incorporating tools and automations to drive higher efficiency, shorter contract cycles, and better contract lifecycle management. You will also operationalize our regulatory monitoring and engagement activities, and ensure that our policies, procedures, and controls are consistently implemented, executed, monitored, and improved.

Finally, you will assist in a variety of other general business operations areas, including People/HR operations, facilities management, business licensing and governance, corporate insurance, and other cross-functional workflows that improve how we work together across the business.

The ideal candidate brings strong bias for action and experience in building, documenting, operationalizing, and managing streamlined systems to support fast-growing business functions. Experience in fintech is a plus.
