The Role

OfferUp is seeking a motivated, self-starting Legal Intern to join our small internal legal team for Summer 2026, with an option to extend the position into the school year.  This is an excellent summer internship opportunity for someone who is interested in pursuing an in-house legal career.  In this role, you will have the opportunity to gain broad, substantive legal experience across the full range of issues faced by a technology company operating at a start-up pace.  You will have the ability to do real legal work, with direct mentorship from the General Counsel and Senior Corporate Counsel.  

What you will do: 

  • Research regulatory developments in areas relevant to the company, including state privacy laws and consumer protection, create business facing materials on regulatory issues, and advise business teams
  • Draft and review a variety of commercial agreements, including NDAs, SaaS agreements, and statements of work, and support related negotiations with third parties
  • Maintain and update contract repository system; identify ways to scale contract management
  • Help implement and improve legal team workflows, templates, contract repository and knowledge management systems, compliance processes, playbooks, and training materials
  • Draft and update Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and other user-facing policies
  • Triage and respond to internal legal questions from business teams across the company
  • Anything else that comes through the door!

After this internship you will: 

  • Have an understanding of the day-to-day activities of an in-house legal department
  • Have developed an understanding of relevant legal tools and systems
  • Have an understanding of the commercial contract life-cycle

You’ll thrive in this role if:

  • Currently enrolled in an ABA-accredited law school; returning to school after the internship
  • You have a proven ability to learn quickly in a dynamic, ever-changing environment
  • You don't wait to be told what to do next.  You take initiative, ask good questions, and figure things out
  • You are able to manage a variety of fast-paced deadlines with a patient and positive attitude
  • You understand and respect the sensitive nature of confidential information and can navigate complex situations and tasks in a discrete and efficient manner
  • You have a strong attention to detail and excellent verbal and written communication skills

Compensation: The hourly rate for this internship is $28 – $32. Compensation reflects academic program (undergraduate vs. law school), year in program, and relevant legal coursework or clinic experience.

This is a non-benefits-eligible internship. No additional compensation beyond hourly wages is offered.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
