About the role
- We're looking for a General Counsel to be our first in-house legal hire.
- Most of your time will be spent on commercial contracts, but you'll also spot issues across privacy, product liability, employment, and corporate matters - and know when and how to engage outside counsel efficiently.
Responsibilities
- Own drafting, review, and negotiation of customer agreements, NDAs, supply agreements, reseller agreements, and supplier documents - negotiating directly with counterparties from Fortune 500 enterprises and defense primes to universities and startups
- Standardize our terms & conditions and build a contract clause playbook: standard positions, acceptable fallbacks, and escalation triggers for our most-negotiated terms
- support defense customer compliance requirements (DFARS, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171)
- Support international expansion - subsidiary formation, cross-border contracting, and coordination of local counsel in new markets
- Support strategic transactions (LOIs, investments, partnerships), including diligence and IP-related deal terms
- Serve as the single point of contact for legal questions across the company, and manage outside counsel scope and spend
- Negotiate data processing agreements, privacy terms, and AI-use provisions; support defense customer compliance requirements (DFARS, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171)
- We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level.
Requirements
- 6-10 years of experience with a substantial focus on commercial contracts and technology transactions, ideally combining law firm training and in-house experience
- Experience with hardware, industrial technology, robotics, or manufacturing companies - you understand physical products, supply chains, and product liability
- Proven ability to negotiate directly with sophisticated counterparties, including large enterprise legal teams
- Comfort as a department of one: strong judgment on risk, pragmatism to keep deals moving, and a business-first mindset
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain legal risk plainly to non-lawyers
Nice to have
- Government contracting experience (DFARS flowdowns, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171)
- Employment law or employment litigation management experience
- International experience - entity formation, cross-border agreements, or expansion into new markets
- Data privacy expertise (DPA negotiation, GDPR/state privacy laws)
- Corporate/M&A or venture transaction experience
- Experience supporting a company through an IPO or preparing for public-company obligations (SEC reporting, corporate governance, SOX compliance) Comment end
Compensation
- The salary range for this role is $205,800 to $265,000, based on experience.
- Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots.
Benefits
- All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options.
- We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
Company info
- enterprise customers, defense partners, resellers, suppliers, strategic investments, and international expansion.
- Every one of those relationships runs on a contract, and we need someone at the center of it all.
- This role is central to that.
