Responsibilities

  • Be the primary legal support for our sales team, helping AEs and AMs move deals forward without unnecessary friction
  • Help build out legal operations infrastructure, which includes contract management tooling, templates, playbooks, and processes that don't yet exist
  • Partner with the Head of Legal on ad hoc matters as you get up to speed on the broader business
  • reviewing, negotiating, and redlining commercial agreements in support of our sales team.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in commercial contract work, either in-house or as outside counsel supporting B2B SaaS clients with commercial overflow
  • active bar admission required

Nice to have

Skills
