We are looking for a highly skilled, pragmatic, business-minded Commercial Counsel to join our growing Legal team and sit at the heart of our revenue engine. You will be a trusted advisor to our revenue teams, helping us navigate complex agreements and close deals with confidence.

As Commercial Counsel, you’ll partner with leadership in Sales, Success, Alliances, and Product to negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements and high-impact deals, reduce cycle time, and scale our contracting playbooks as we grow.

• Collaborate with other teams, including finance, security, and product to align internal operations with external commitments.
• Identify and implement process improvements to accelerate deal closures, including maintaining and developing templates, fallbacks and clause libraries. Contribute to the creation of deal-desk guard rails and escalation criteria with the Head of Commercial Legal.
• Operationalize contracting with our CLM/ATS/CRM stack (e.g., Ironclad/DocuSign/Salesforce): accurate metadata, playbooked approvals, and clean handoffs to Order Ops/Finance.
• Enable the field with short trainings, FAQs, and one-pagers on common positions (data residency, AI model use, uptime/credits, termination, IP/feedback).
• Stay up-to-date on legal and regulatory developments impacting the AI and SaaS industries, including privacy regulations.

What you’ll bring to the role

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school, licensed to practice law in the United States.
• 5-10 years of commercial/technology transactions experience, with a significant amount of the time spent at a B2B SaaS or technology company
• Experience negotiating SaaS commercial terms (limitations of liability, indemnities, IP rights, usage/data rights, service levels, credits)
• Strong understanding of privacy and data security laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA) and other regulations pertaining to businesses.
• Proven ability to prioritize and move quickly in a high-growth environment; crisp, plain-English drafting and strong stakeholder management with Sales leadership.
• Experience building contract playbooks, fallback positions, and scalable processes; familiarity with CLM and CRM tools (e.g., Ironclad/DocuSign/Salesforce).
• Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines effectively.
