Corporate Counsel

We’re looking for a Corporate Counsel who thrives on being in the middle of the action—providing smart, practical legal guidance that keeps the business moving forward while protecting what matters. You’ll be a critical advisor, leading contract strategy, ensuring regulatory compliance, and proactively managing risk in a global SaaS and services environment.

This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll partner closely with teams across the business, helping to simplify legal complexity, solve problems, and drive confident decision-making. If you’re energized by rolling up your sleeves, working collaboratively, and balancing detail with business impact—let’s talk.

What You’ll Do:

• Be a Strategic Legal Partner: Deliver clear, actionable advice to leadership and cross-functional teams on contracts, risk, and regulatory matters.
• Own Contract Management: Lead contract review, drafting, and negotiation across customer agreements, vendor contracts, partnerships, and employment documents—ensuring we are protected without slowing the business down.
• Lead the Contract Administration Team: Oversee and mentor an in-house team focused on contract operations, and manage relationships with external counsel when needed.
• Drive Compliance: Ensure we stay aligned with laws, regulations, and industry standards across all domestic and international markets where we operate.
• Mitigate Risk: Develop smart, proactive strategies to identify, manage, and reduce legal and operational risks.
• Champion Corporate Governance: Support corporate records management and governance processes to ensure we are always audit-ready and in good standing.
• Communicate with Clarity: Translate complex legal language into simple, business-friendly terms to help teams make informed, confident decisions.
• Balance Big Picture and Details: Confidently shift between high-level legal strategy and hands-on, day-to-day contract and compliance work.
• Be Collaborative and Approachable: Build trust and strong partnerships with teams across the organization.

 What You Bring:

• JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing.
• 8-10 years of relevant corporate legal experience, ideally a mix of in-house and law firm work.
• Proven expertise in contract drafting, negotiation, corporate compliance, and risk management.
• Demonstrated ability to manage a range of legal matters.
• Experience supporting SaaS, technology, or services businesses is a strong plus.
• Exceptional communication and negotiation skills.
• Ability to prioritize in a fast-moving environment and manage competing deadlines with confidence.
• Strong business judgment and practical problem-solving ability.
• High emotional intelligence with a collaborative, team-first mindset.
• Willingness to both lead and roll up your sleeves to get things done.

Why Join Us?

• Your Work Matters: Your legal leadership will directly shape how we do business.
• Diverse, Meaningful Work: You’ll handle a variety of legal topics that impact multiple parts of the organization.
• Collaborative, Team-Focused Culture: Join a company that values partnership, flexibility, and getting things done—together.
• Room to Own and Grow: We’re looking for someone who wants to build, improve, and take ownership.
