About the Role

The Company is in search of an Associate General Counsel for Transactions to lead the development and scaling of a transactions practice. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the drafting and negotiation of business-critical agreements, with a focus on complex IP, technology, business, and regulatory issues. This role requires the development of agreement templates, negotiation standards, and processes to ensure high-quality work and effective risk management. The ideal candidate will have a J.D. and be admitted to the bar in at least one U.S. state, with a minimum of 10 years' experience in negotiating complex commercial contracts, particularly in a fast-paced, mid- to large-sized company environment. Strong transactional judgment, exceptional relationship-building skills, and the ability to operate effectively in a high-intensity, sales-driven business environment are essential. Applicants for this role at the company should be adept at managing a high-volume, fast-moving transactional workload and be capable of providing oversight and guidance to other transactional attorneys. The role demands a candidate with a strong business acumen, the ability to understand and translate business objectives into legal solutions, and a proven track record of structuring and improving legal functions. The ideal candidate will have a growth mindset, be focused on continuous operational improvement, and be comfortable operating with significant autonomy and ambiguity. A background in handling complex technology and commercial transactions, as well as a strong understanding of IP and trade and regulatory issues relevant to a global business, is a must. The company is an equal-opportunity employer and is dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment.
