Manager, Legal & Compliance

🚀 WHY HEADOUT?

WE’RE A ROCKETSHIP: 9-FIGURE REVENUE, RECORD GROWTH, AND PROFITABLE

With $130M in revenue, guests in 100+ cities, and 18 months of profitability,
Headout is the fastest-growing marketplace in the travel industry, and we’re
just getting started. We've raised $60M+ from top-tier investors and are
building a durable company for the long term — because that's what our mission
needs and deserves. We’re growing, profitable and nowhere near done.

WHAT WE DO IS IMPORTANT

In an increasingly digital world, there is a desperate need to augment our human
experience by getting us to interact with the real world around us and the
people in it. At Headout, our mission is to be the easiest, fastest, and most
delightful way to head out to a real-life experience — from immersive tours to
museums to live events and everything in between.

WHY NOW?

The foundation is strong. The opportunity ahead is even bigger. We’ve hit
profitability, built momentum, and proven the model — but there’s so much more
to build. If you’re looking to join a company where the trajectory is steep and
your impact is real, this is the moment.

OUR CULTURE

Reinventing the travel industry isn't easy, but that's the fun part.
We care deeply about ownership, craft, and impact, and we’re here to do the best
work of our careers. We won’t pretend like it’s for everyone but if you’re a
builder who loves solving tough problems, you’ll feel right at home. 

👩‍💻 The role

We’re on the lookout for a Manager – Legal & Compliance to join our team at
Headout. In this role, you’ll support the execution of Headout’s global and
Indian corporate governance framework as part of a lean Legal & Compliance team.
You’ll be hands-on with day-to-day compliance and secretarial processes, while
collaborating closely with internal stakeholders, external advisors, and
cross-functional teams.

You will play a key role in managing secretarial compliances, ensuring timely
execution, and improving processes through automation and technology. You’ll
also work across global entities, labour law compliance, and governance
initiatives—while stepping in as an independent driver when needed to move tasks
across the finish line.

This is a high-impact role where your expertise will directly influence
governance standards, compliance efficiency, and the evolution of a tech-enabled
legal and compliance function.

* Collaborate with multiple teams, auditors, consultants, and stakeholders to
ensure seamless compliance execution.
* Lead automation-first initiatives to streamline legal and compliance
workflows using AI and technology.
* Work across labour laws, health & safety compliance, and global governance
frameworks.
* Gain exposure to multi-jurisdictional compliance in a fast-paced, global
environment.

💝 What Skills & Experience You Need

* 4–7 years of relevant experience in legal and compliance roles, preferably in
a fast-paced, multinational or venture-backed environment.
* Qualified Company Secretary (ICSI member) with an LL.B degree.
* Strong working knowledge of the Companies Act, 2013, corporate secretarial
practices, and labour & Health & Safety laws.
* Hands-on experience in managing end-to-end secretarial processes and
corporate actions.
* Familiarity with global entity management and cross-border compliance
requirements.
* Experience with FEMA/RBI compliances, filings, and regulatory coordination.
* Ability to design trackers, improve processes, and drive execution with high
accuracy.
* Strong attention to detail with a “zero-error” mindset.
* Ability to break down ambiguous compliance requirements and execute in a
structured manner.

✨ Nice to Have

* Exposure to data privacy frameworks such as GDPR and India’s DPDP Act.
