What You'll Do: The CoreWeave Legal and Government Affairs (LGA) team at CoreWeave is highly collaborative and partners closely with teams across the company to navigate complex legal landscapes while enabling innovation and growth. The team is pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and deeply engaged in strategic decision-making, with a strong emphasis on building trusted relationships across the organization.

As Senior Counsel, Commercial, you will support CoreWeave's international expansion transactions, with a particular focus on EMEA and APAC. You will focus primarily on structuring and executing transactions for Omni, CoreWeave's cloud-as-a-service delivery model, while also supporting broader commercial matters across CoreWeave's infrastructure and SaaS deal pipelines as business needs evolve. If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, enjoy solving complex problems, and are eager to make a significant impact, CoreWeave is the place for you.

About the Role:

Reporting to the Senior Managing Associate General Counsel, EMEA, you will provide U.S. Eastern Time coverage and partner with cross-functional stakeholders across Legal and Government Affairs, Corporate Development, Sales, Product, Finance, Strategy, and Tax, on some of CoreWeave's most structurally complex international transactions.

In this role, you will:

• Lead day-to-day drafting, negotiation, and execution of term sheets and definitive agreements across active and emerging EMEA and APAC jurisdictions,
• Manage workflow process and execution status across the live deal pipeline, proactively identifying and escalating deviations, novel structures, or jurisdictional risks.
• Draft, negotiate, and close MSAs, order forms, partnership agreements, and vendor agreements supporting Omni and adjacent commercial work.
• Partner cross-functionally to move deals at the pace of the business, while pragmatically managing legal and commercial risk.
• Advise business leaders, in coordination with the Senior Managing Associate General Counsel, EMEA, on transaction structures and operating models as CoreWeave enters new markets, providing proactive, commercially focused counsel and escalating material or novel issues appropriately.
• Contribute to and maintain the Omni process, workflows, template and playbook set, so repeat deal structures execute faster over time.
• Coordinate with outside counsel and internal subject-matter experts on jurisdiction-specific issues arising from Omni transactions, including sovereign and government-adjacent counterparties.
• Help develop and implement a legal support plan with overseas teammates and outside counsel to ensure seamless and timely support of transactions across stakeholders in multiple time zones.

Who You Are:

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar.
• 8+ years experience gained from a law firm, and/or with in-house experience gained within a fast-paced technology company.
• Substantial commercial and complex technology contracting experience: Cloud, AI, SaaS, IaaS, PaaS.
• Experience with complex, high-value, or infrastructure-heavy transactions both within and outside of the US. Direct exposure to cross-border deal structures is a strong plus.
• Strong drafting and negotiation skills, sound commercial judgment, and clear written and verbal communication.
• You exercise independent judgment and have excellent attention to detail
• Comfortable operating at a fast pace with a high degree of independence across multiple jurisdictions and time zones, knowing when to escalate.
• Experience counseling senior business leaders on business and legal risks
• Track record of building or improving processes, workflows, templates, and playbooks to scale repeatable deal execution.
