Commercial Counsel, Procurement

Commercial Counsel
San Francisco, CA · In-Office (Hybrid)
Meter’s mission is to make the internet a utility: a world where any business can turn on reliable, secure, enterprise-grade internet at any physical location as easily as it turns on power or water. Getting there is genuinely hard, because internet and networking have become deeply fragmented and crystallized. So Meter does the whole thing: we design and manufacture our own networking hardware, procure and manage ISPs, design, configure, and physically install networks, operate and monitor them once they’re live, and are working toward running them autonomously.
Put differently, Meter is a hardware company, a software and models company, an internet service provider, an installer, and a real estate business, all at once.
Each of those businesses has to be sold, structured, and signed. You'll close the material revenue contracts that keep the lights on and fund Meter's most ambitious work, bring creative structure to our most strategic deals, and be who Sales, Finance, and the CEO come to when a deal has to get done. You'll own Meter's entire commercial motion end-to-end: enterprise sales agreements and SLAs, reseller and partner deals, the real estate licenses that let us pre-install Meter hardware in buildings, the supply chain and installer agreements that enable Meter's business, and the vendor and marketing contracts that keep the business moving. you'll stand up the commercial legal function, from templates and playbooks to the CLM, that makes every future deal faster, cleaner, and more repeatable.
Draft, structure, negotiate, and close Meter’s material customer agreements and SLAs across every Sales Team, grounding each commitment in real engineering and product plans.
Build a legal supply chain function, negotiating and closing the supplier, manufacturing, and logistics agreements behind the hardware we design and build.
Be the fast lane for everything else, from NDAs to recruiting agreements to the one-off transactions of a fast-growing global business, so no one waits on legal.
Stand up and run Meter’s CLM, owning the contract lifecycle from intake to signature to renewal.
Be a true partner to Sales and Finance leaders and the friendly face of Meter Commercial Legal. Fast, responsive, client-obsessed, and energized by working shoulder to shoulder with intense sales teams, you thrive under pressure and love closing a critical revenue contract quickly and without drama.
You’re a precise, creative drafter who takes pride in the craft, writing clear, pragmatic contracts and finding the path to a solution instead of the easy way out.
you make them easier to close for everyone, building the templates, playbooks, and tooling that speed up the next one.
You’re a relentless project manager and communicator. You make independent calls with conviction and size the real risk instead of rabbit‑holing on theoretical risk or over‑negotiating against yourself.
This is one of two cornerstone legal hires; If you love deftly closing deals that are good for Meter, and building the systems that make the next deal faster, you'll earn the trust of our Sales, Finance, and Product teams and become a lawyer the business can't imagine operating without. And you'll do it on a small, rigorous legal team that takes its work (but not itself) seriously.
