About Fora

Fora is the modern travel agency, empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs to build thriving travel advisory businesses. We're modernizing the $100B+ travel industry with AI woven through every part of the advisor's workflow, plus global supplier relationships, personalized training, and a vibrant community, all in one place. That's what lets advisors build businesses that scale, while their taste and service create trips no algorithm alone could plan. At the heart of it all is our mission: to help the next generation of travel entrepreneurs turn their love for travel into a fulfilling career, whether full-time or part-time.

We're mission-driven and obsessed with our customers, and we believe humans and AI are both essential: the best work here comes from people and technology at their best, together. That's not just a philosophy about our product, it's how we build our team. Everyone at Fora gets hands-on with frontier AI tooling as part of the job. At Fora, you'll learn to be AI-fluent, with real experience applying AI to solve problems day to day, wherever you sit in the company.

Founded in 2021, Fora has grown to a team of 250+ full-time employees based in downtown New York City. In 2026, we closed a $60 million Series D led by Forerunner and Tactile Ventures, with continued backing from Thrive Capital, Insight Partners, and Heartcore Capital. We've been named a LinkedIn Top Startup (2024), one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies (2023 and 2025), and one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies (2026).

Come build something that hasn't existed before.

About The Role

We’re seeking a highly motivated Regulatory Counsel to oversee Fora’s global regulatory compliance, including data and privacy. This is a strategic role in a high-growth technology environment presenting an opportunity to own and build the regulatory and compliance framework for international expansion.

Key Responsibilities

Legal & Regulatory Strategy

  • Lead and evaluate regulatory research and corporate structuring to inform the international expansion strategy
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the International Team in evaluating new markets, and providing pragmatic guidance that enables business priorities
  • Assess licensing and compliance requirements (e.g., package travel regulations, payments, data privacy regimes, seller-of-travel laws) for each target market and translate them into clear, actionable requirements for the business
  • Manage and coordinate local counsel across multiple jurisdictions, synthesizing their input into a coherent internal strategy with clear recommendations for internal stakeholders
  • Build lightweight, scalable processes for monitoring regulatory changes across active and prospective markets

Operations

  • Review training materials and resources to ensure advisors understand their local licensing/regulatory responsibilities
  • Develop policies, playbooks, legal templates and frameworks that standardize regulatory operations across markets
  • Help define the long-term organizational structure and capabilities needed to support Fora’s global regulatory obligations

Compliance

  • Provide compliance oversight, including conducting risk assessments and driving compliance initiatives that ensure we’re operating effectively while adhering to applicable laws and regulations across multiple jurisdictions
  • Engage with regulators and manage responses to examinations/audits
  • Stay current on legal and regulatory developments to inform senior leaders of business impacts and keep Fora ahead of its compliance obligations
  • Establish systems and controls to ensure Fora fulfills legal and regulatory obligations to remain in good standing as its international footprint expand
  • Own business registrations/qualifications and annual/periodic filings and reporting obligations (license renewals, bonding/trust reporting, etc.), keeping the company in good standing as we expand

Requirements

  • 6+ years of legal/compliance and regulatory operations experience (combined Big Law and in-house in a startup, technology or other dynamic environment)
  • J.D. and active state bar admission (preferably New York or California)
  • Experience with market entry or product expansion in a travel tech, fintech, healthcare, e-commerce/marketplace or other highly regulated industry
  • Commercial with excellent judgment balancing legal and business risk with appropriate escalations
  • Clear, effective communicator with strong interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally and build trusted relationships
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, cross-functional workflows, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Enthusiastic with proven track record of learning quickly, taking initiative, resourcefulness and willingness to step in where needed to fill gaps
  • Ability to work in the U.S.

Strongly Preferred

  • Experience supporting privacy/security, AI and other emerging tech transactional considerations
  • Knowledge of travel industry-specific regulations (ATOL, Package Travel Regulations in EU/UK and seller of travel regulations)
  • Experience coordinating outside/local counsel across multiple jurisdictions

Compensation

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
