• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, including Sales, Finance, Product, Privacy, Security, Partnership, and Procurement, to solve problems, build partnerships, and achieve business goals

• Develop and improve contract templates, playbooks, and supporting documentation to increase team efficiency and scalability

• Monitor legal and regulatory developments relevant to commercial contracting and translate them into actionable guidance

• Support dispute resolution

• Handle other business needs as they arise

What You'll Achieve

• In your first year, you'll make a clear impact by timely resolving critical contracting work and contributing to the tools and guidance that will accelerate the review cycles

• Navigate ambiguity with confidence and help shape emerging business models and go-to-market initiatives as the company continues to scale

• Foster alignment between business goals and legal frameworks, applying original and innovative thinking to better service business needs

• Build deep, collaborative relationships with key business and legal stakeholders across the U.S. and internationally, fostering open lines of communication and feedback

• Contribute to a culture of open dialogue and collaborative problem-solving across the team

What You'll Bring

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission (in good standing) in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

• 3-6 years of experience in commercial contract negotiation

• Proven track record of independently leading and closing strategic agreements with enterprise customers, vendors, and partners

• Deep expertise in technology contract terms including licensing models, indemnification, limitation of liability, IP ownership, data protection and privacy provisions

• Experience developing and implementing contract playbooks, templates, and negotiation guidelines at scale

• Strong business judgment with the ability to balance legal risk against commercial objectives and deliver practical, actionable advice

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex legal concepts clearly to business stakeholders
