About Snowgroup
🌐 snowgroup.ca
Snowgroup is building the first full-stack digital ecosystem for winter sports travel — powering how 150M skiers plan, book, and experience mountain trips globally.
Our platform combines:
• Reservewinter (multi-mountain booking engine)
• Snowclub (social commerce & ski club hub)
• Snowbus (transportation network and user funnel)
We’ve proven traction (100% organic) and just came off a high-profile showing at Web Summit Vancouver. Now we’re actively raising capital, onboarding staff and contractors, and preparing for public crowdfunding — and we need sharp legal guidance to make sure our foundation is rock solid.

The Role
This is a startup-focused legal role — someone who can work directly with the founder to:
• Handle fundraising docs (SAFEs, investor agreements, crowdfunding compliance)
• Set up proper staff + contractor agreements and deferred comp structures
• Structure our employee option pool and equity frameworks
• Review and refine website terms, privacy policies, disclaimers
• Advise on governance as we grow (board, bylaws, compliance, etc.)
You’ll be the legal backbone that keeps our raise, hiring, and product aligned with best practice.
⸻
Key Responsibilities
• Draft/review fundraising docs (SAFE, SPV, subscription agreements)
• Ensure compliance with Canadian and U.S. equity crowdfunding regulations
• Formalize staff/contractor agreements, deferred pay terms, and NDAs
• Advise on equity and option pool setup for early hires
• Update website policies (privacy, T&Cs, disclaimers)
• Support corporate governance, cap table management, and investor rights
• Flag legal risks and create clear, founder-friendly solutions
⸻
What We’re Looking For
• Legal background in startup fundraising + corporate governance
• Familiar with SAFEs, option pools, and early-stage hiring structures
• Experience in crowdfunding / securities compliance (Canada & U.S. a plus)
• Ability to move quickly and balance pragmatism with risk management
• Bonus: prior work with marketplaces, travel tech, or consumer platforms
⸻
Engagement Details
• 4–8 week pilot (flexible 10–20 hrs/week)
• Deferred comp: hourly, with potential equity/bonus tied to continuation
• Work directly with founder + finance team on live raise and ops
• Remote, async-friendly, with ~2 syncs/week
