Our team is made up of kind, driven individuals who take ownership, move quickly, and collaborate closely.

They’re how we make impact real. When a creative, well-structured partnership comes together, it expands opportunity for families, merchants, and entire communities. But should a negotiation drag or a deal be misframed, it delays access to food for millions of Americans.</p> <p>Forage is a mission-driven fintech building the payments infrastructure that powers inclusive commerce. We enable grocers, delivery platforms, and point-of-sale systems to accept SNAP EBT payments online and in-store — and we’re expanding into new benefit domains such as HSA/FSA and other public-purpose financial rails.</p> <p>To support this growth, we’re building a lean, high-impact <strong>Legal, Policy Partnerships (LPP)</strong> team — currently two people:</p> <ul> <li>Klay Fennell, the <strong>Head of Legal, Policy Partnerships</strong>, whose primary focus is government, regulatory, and external affairs.</li> <li><strong>You</strong>, the <strong>Commercial Counsel</strong>, who will own Forage’s commercial contracting and operational legal work — ensuring our partnerships move quickly, strategically, and in alignment with our mission.</li> </ul> <p>This is not an ordinary legal role - you are a driver of growth and impact. You’ll have an opportunity to help design and execute the legal and commercial foundation of a company whose work directly affects how America feeds its families. ...
