This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Contracts Lawyer in the United States.

This is a high-impact role for a practical, business-focused attorney with expertise in commercial and government contracting. You will take ownership of the company’s contracting function, negotiating and drafting agreements that enable revenue, partnerships, and operational growth. Working closely with cross-functional teams including Sales, Product, Finance, and Security, you will balance speed and risk while providing clear, actionable legal guidance. This position offers the opportunity to build scalable contracting processes, shape legal infrastructure, and contribute directly to the company’s growth trajectory. Ideal candidates thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments and enjoy problem-solving, advising business teams, and executing complex negotiations. Exposure to technology contracts, public-sector frameworks, and vendor/channel agreements will allow you to make an immediate impact.

Accountabilities:

Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of agreements, including customer, vendor, reseller, channel, and government contracts

Develop and maintain contract templates, clause libraries, and negotiation playbooks to streamline contracting processes

Advise internal teams on key contract terms, including renewals, IP rights, licensing restrictions, FAR/DFARS flow-downs, audit, recordkeeping, and termination provisions

Identify and manage legal, regulatory, and operational risks across commercial and government contracts

Translate complex legal requirements into practical guidance for non-legal stakeholders

Maintain a contract database and ensure alignment with company policies, investor expectations, and applicable laws

Requirements:

Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited US law school and active license to practice law in at least one US jurisdiction

5+ years of experience in technology contracting, either in-house or at a law firm

Knowledge of both commercial and public-sector contracting frameworks

Strong commercial judgment and risk-aware decision-making

Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and stakeholder communication skills

Ability to operate independently with minimal legal infrastructure

Extreme attention to detail and ability to balance speed-to-revenue with risk management

Startup mindset: flexible, resourceful, and execution-focused while comfortable working in ambiguity

Preferred:

Prior in-house experience at an early-stage or high-growth software company

Experience with reseller or channel agreements and international contracts

Familiarity with cybersecurity or compliance markets

Benefits:

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance

Flexible work arrangements, including remote or hybrid options

Paid time off and holidays

Professional development support and training opportunities

Equity participation and potential performance-based incentives
