About the Role
We’re hiring a Corporate Counsel to join our small legal team. The ideal candidate is a high-velocity generalist who can operate autonomously and deliver exceptional, execution-ready work product. You will act as a strategic partner to leadership while owning the high-stakes execution of our most critical legal work streams.
About You
This is not a role for someone who needs a playbook; it’s for someone who wants to write the playbook. You are a self-starter who thrives on variety—navigating everything from complex open-source licensing to scaling our international footprint. You are expected to own your work entirely, from the first redline of a vendor SaaS agreement to the strategic setup of a new international entity, providing pragmatic, business-first advice along the way.
What You'll Do
End-to-End Procurement: Own the entire inbound negotiation process (SaaS, consultants, managed services) from start to finish. You should be comfortable closing high-volume, complex deals with minimal oversight in a fast-pace start up environment.
Global People Ops: Partner with our people department to manage domestic and international employment matters, including offer letters, local labor law compliance, and contractor agreements.
Litigation and Risk Management: Advise on pending and potential litigation, including employment-related claims. Balance legal risk with business reality by providing pragmatic, market-based guidance that enables smart decision-making under tight timelines.
Legal Operations: Develop and refine our legal infrastructure, including templates, workflows, and policies for procurement and contracting.
What We Look For
J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school and membership in at least one current U.S. state bar membership.
6+ years of legal experience in procurement, technology transactions, and commercial contracting, ideally with a mix of in-house and law firm experience.
Experience negotiating inbound technology and services contracts, including SaaS, software licensing, and professional services agreements.
Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced startup environments, wearing multiple hats and managing ambiguity.
Excellent drafting skills with the ability to craft creative, practical solutions in real time.
Outstanding organizational and project management skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities independently.
Responsive, service-oriented, and collaborative, with a strong sense of judgment and integrity.
Comfortable shifting between strategic thinking and detailed execution
Experience with legal workflow or contract management tools (e.g., e-signature, document management, CLM) is a plus.
