• Strategic Risk Advisory: Provide pragmatic, risk-calibrated legal guidance on complex contract terms, balancing strategic business objectives and revenue goals with robust risk mitigation and regulatory compliance.

• Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM): Own and optimize the end-to-end contract lifecycle management process, scaling operational efficiency through automated workflows, playbook development, and legal tech integration.

• Cross-Functional Partnership: Serve as a trusted partner to cross-functional stakeholders (Sales, Finance, Product, and InfoSec) to unblock bottlenecks, provide contract interpretation, and streamline high-velocity deal execution.

About You:

• Legal degree from an accredited U.S. law school.

• Experience: 5 to 7+ years of experience practicing as a commercial or corporate attorney, with a track record of handling technology and software contracts.

• Solid experience negotiating SaaS and software-related agreements, with a good understanding of standard commercial terms like limitations of liability, data processing agreements (DPAs), and intellectual property rights.
