General Counsel

The Opportunity Tsunami Express is building the future of express car washing powered by people, automation, and smart technology.

With 75+ locations across the Midwest and aggressive expansion ahead, we are building the infrastructure needed to support continued growth toward 100, 150, and beyond.

As General Counsel, you will serve as Tsunamis first in-house legal leader and a strategic partner to the CEO and executive team.

This is an opportunity to build the legal function from the ground up while helping a rapidly growing, multi-state organization move quickly and confidently without taking on unnecessary risk.

This role is designed for a business-minded legal leader who can balance sound legal judgment with the realities of a fast-moving operation.

Youll lead legal strategy across M&A, real estate, commercial contracts, employment law, litigation, regulatory compliance, consumer programs, corporate governance, and enterprise risk while building scalable processes for Tsunamis next stage of growth.

The ideal candidate thinks like an operator, drafts like a lawyer, and approaches legal challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset providing clear options, practical recommendations, and an understanding of business risk rather than simply identifying roadblocks.
