Who we seek:

We're looking for a Commercial Counsel to join our growing, but a tight-knit legal team. Our ideal candidate is someone who has hands-on global enterprise software transaction experience and is able to drive an efficient negotiation process that all sides feel is fair and balanced. Someone with commercial and complex, high-touch tech transaction experience, coming from in-house at a high-tech growth company, or at a law firm, ideally a combination of both.

  • Be ready to own the entire contracting cycle-from initial draft to execution-and collaborate with business, privacy and product teams to drive contract negotiations to timely and successful completion.
  • Help build, streamline, and operationalize the company's contracting process to help us scale as a Legal team and as a company.
  • Support HR, Marketing, Product Development, and other internal constituencies as needed in contracts, research, deal structuring, and risk counseling

What you'll bring:

  • 4+ years of experience, complex tech transactional expertise but intellectual curiosity and desire to expand areas of knowledge and participation as the business might require, e.g. privacy, product, HR, corporate matters
  • J.D., with strong academic credentials and membership in at least one U.S. state bar.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to advocate for a position while maintaining a collaborative and open-minded approach.
  • Highly organized, reliable, detail-oriented, and diligent with an ethos of project ownership.
  • Ability to work on multiple issues simultaneously and set appropriate priorities with clients and deliver results.
  • Proven ability to provide entrepreneurial, pragmatic, business-oriented advice, with a dedication to superior customer service.
  • Ability to operate autonomously while being a team player who brings a positive attitude to the job.

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience and knowledge of Privacy Laws, and Data Security concepts
  • Demonstrated ability to operationalize and scale the commercial contracting process
  • Experience with "zero leverage" sell-side negotiation and deal-making with large enterprise-class customers
