About the role

As Commercial Counsel, you'll join GC AI's commercial legal team and jump straight into the deal flow that powers one of the fastest-growing companies in legal tech.
You'll report to the General Counsel, transitioning to report to the Associate General Counsel, Commercial once that role is filled.
You'll handle routine commercial matters independently (NDAs, standard-form agreements, low-complexity redlines) and work closely with senior team members on more complex negotiations.

Support sales and business development teams through deal cycles, managing multiple priorities with quick turnaround.
Maintain deal velocity under pressure, particularly during month-end closing periods.
Contribute to building scalable legal processes and empowering business teams through templates and self-serve resources.

3-7 years of technology transactions experience with B2B SaaS transactions in an in-house or big law firm.
Ability to work independently on routine commercial matters (NDAs, standard-form agreements, low-complexity redlines) while knowing when to seek guidance on complex issues.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain legal concepts clearly to non-legal stakeholders.
Experience supporting or working closely with sales or business development teams.
Comfort working under pressure, particularly during month-end closing periods.

In-house legal experience (law firm technology transactions experience will also be considered).
Experience at a high-growth startup or scale-up company.
Exposure to privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, state privacy laws) or data protection agreement negotiation.
You are already a GC AI user.
We expect urgency, ownership, and good judgment even when things aren't perfectly clear.
If you need structure and consensus to do your best work, this isn't the right place for you.
If you thrive in ambiguity and growth, work with intensity, and want real responsibility, keep reading.
We're excited to meet you.

Take on additional projects and tasks as needed in response to the evolving needs of a fast-growing startup.
