A collaborative, business-focused environment where Legal works closely with leaders across the organization
A lean legal team offering meaningful visibility, autonomy, and direct exposure to senior leadership

A strong opportunity for an attorney who enjoys working closely with the business and wants to make an impact beyond traditional legal review

WHAT THEY OFFER YOU

The ability to help improve contracting strategy, templates, playbooks, processes, and policies as the organization continues to grow
A highly business-facing environment where Legal is expected to help move initiatives forward while appropriately managing risk

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Lead negotiations involving vendor agreements, service agreements, partnership agreements, NDAs, amendments, settlement agreements, and other business contracts
Assess contractual and business risk and clearly communicate potential exposure and recommended solutions to internal stakeholders
Serve as a key legal contact for external business partners throughout the negotiation process
Partner with senior legal leadership on contracting strategy, policies, and broader business matters
Work cross-functionally with departments such as Sales, Operations, Finance, HR, and other business teams
Develop and maintain contract templates, negotiation guidelines, and playbooks to improve consistency and scalability
Help strengthen processes surrounding contract intake, drafting, review, approval, execution, and recordkeeping
Provide guidance and mentorship to legal support or contract administration resources
Assist with litigation management, legal research, employment matters, corporate transactions, and other legal department priorities
Manage multiple high-priority matters while exercising strong independent legal judgment

THE BACKGROUND THAT FITS

Juris Doctor from an accredited law school and active license to practice law and in good standing
5-10+ years of relevant legal experience with meaningful commercial contract drafting and negotiation responsibility
Experience may come from an in-house legal department, law firm, or combination of both
Strong commercial instincts with the ability to balance legal risk and business objectives
Comfortable independently negotiating agreements and advising business stakeholders
Ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear, practical guidance for non-legal audiences
Strong organizational and prioritization skills within a fast-moving environment
Experience supporting a growing, multi-location, or operationally complex organization is beneficial
Employment law exposure is a plus
Self-directed, entrepreneurial mindset with a willingness to operate beyond narrowly defined responsibilities
