Corporate Legal Counsel

Taylor Root

Location: New York City, hybrid (3 days in)

I’m partnering with a PE-backed technology company that is looking to hire a Corporate Counsel to take ownership of its day-to-day legal function.

This is a highly commercial role within a lean, fast-moving business, with approximately 75% of the workload focused on commercial contracting. The successful candidate will work closely with the commercial team, taking the lead on contract drafting and negotiations while also advising on data privacy and other legal matters as they arise.

The Role

Responsibilities will include:

Drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements, including SaaS agreements, MSAs, DPAs, and NDAs
Negotiating both company-standard agreements and third-party paper, including agreements with large, sophisticated customers
Partnering closely with the commercial team throughout customer negotiations
Joining calls with prospective customers to work through contractual issues and reach practical solutions
Advising on data privacy matters arising within commercial relationships
Drafting and negotiating DPAs and providing guidance on GDPR and other relevant privacy requirements
Providing occasional support across employment, IP and new product launches
Continuing to develop efficiencies within the legal function, including leveraging AI and technology

Experience

Juris Doctor degree and active membership in good standing with at least 1 US state bar
Approximately 5-7 years of relevant legal experience
Strong commercial contracting experience, ideally gained in-house within a technology environment
Experience drafting and negotiating SaaS agreements, MSAs, DPAs and NDAs
Working knowledge of data privacy, including GDPR
Comfortable independently owning a commercial contracting function
Pragmatic and commercially minded, with the ability to balance legal risk against business objectives
Comfortable working with a demanding commercial team and managing quick turnaround times
Adaptable and able to respond effectively as priorities and contractual positions change
