Corporate Counsel - Transactional / Corporate Generalist

Why We Have This Role

Qualtrics is hiring a Corporate Counsel focused on managing all legal aspects of our global corporate entities and real estate matters, negotiating a wide-range of supplier agreements, and being a strategic partner to our Finance, Tax, Procurement, and Real Estate teams as we continue to scale. This role exists to ensure we maintain our global corporate footprint, enable expansion, and operate as a key partner to the business. We need a trusted legal partner who can manage complexity, move quickly in ambiguous situations, provide practical solutions, and help the company balance legal risk with business velocity. Ultimately, this role ensures we protect the business without slowing it down and enable Qualtrics to deliver exceptional experiences.

How You'll Find Success

Success in this role is about more than just legal acumen; it's about becoming a trusted, pragmatic business partner who drives results across a wide range of critical legal functions. We are looking for a skilled lawyer who thrives on complexity and ownership. You will succeed by demonstrating excellence in the following areas:
  • Ownership: You don't just identify issues; you build the solutions. You will take full responsibility for maintaining our global entities and supporting our real estate team's initiatives, and will be a critical partner to the business on a wide-range of supplier agreements.
  • High-Stakes Navigation: You thrive in ambiguity. You provide clear, actionable paths forward that balance legal risk with business velocity.
  • Becoming a Go-To Expert: You will quickly become a highly proficient and go-to resource for the company.
  • Pragmatic and Trusted Partnership: You will build deep trust across the organization by being a responsive, helpful, and solutions-oriented partner. With a high EQ, you will translate complex legal requirements into actionable business guidance. Success means you are consistently sought out by internal clients who value your pragmatic advice and enjoy working with you.
  • Strategic Business Acumen: You will move beyond purely legal advice by developing a sophisticated understanding of our company's products, organization, and risk tolerance. Your counsel will be not just legally sound but commercially astute, helping the business navigate challenges and achieve its goals in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
  • Mentorship and Team Collaboration: As a key member of the team, you will contribute to a positive and inclusive environment. You will become a helpful mentor to more junior members of the Legal team and a respected advisor to colleagues across the business.

How You'll Grow

You'll know you're doing a phenomenal job when:
  • You are the company's go-to expert, autonomously managing complex transactional and entity-related matters.
  • You translate complex legal matters into clear, actionable advice that empowers confident business decisions.
  • You are a trusted, pragmatic partner, proactively sought out by teams across the business to help them navigate challenges.

Things You'll Do

As a key member of our legal team, you will be responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of complex legal matters. Your core responsibilities will include:

  • Draft and negotiate a range of supplier agreements, including inbound SaaS licenses, and technology and implementation partnership agreements, working closely with procurement and business owners from all departments.
  • Primary responsibility for international expansion efforts, including maintenance of global corporate entities and related corporate governance matters, working closely with finance and tax teams.
  • Own other general corporate matters, intercompany agreements, and strategic reorgs.
  • Primary responsibility for real estate matters, working closely with the real estate team.
  • Acting as a mentor to team paralegals.
  • Identify and implement methods for improving and streamlining existing processes.


What We're Looking For On Your Resume
  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree.
  • Licensed to practice in at least one U.S. state.
  • 3-6 years of experience in a similar or relevant role at a top law firm or company.
  • Significant transactional legal experience and/or corporate governance experience (prior public company / securities experience a plus).
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills and attention to detail.
  • Solution-oriented mindset able to work with cross-functional teams to ensure they are able to accomplish their objectives while still meeting standards.
  • Ownership, ownership, ownership.

What You Should Know About This Team

  • The Legal team at Qualtrics is a hard-working, fun-loving, and dynamic group. We focus on solving problems and empowering our business teams to run, not walk.
  • We are always pragmatic-protecting the company from risks that really matter and never slowing it down over issues that are only theoretical.
  • We get the opportunity to work with every department in the company as well as outside counsel, vendors, partners, and (most importantly) customers.
  • We strive to avoid pretentiousness and instead focus on working hard, having fun, and delivering results.


Our Team's Favorite Perks and Benefits
  • Team cohesion is deeply important to us - we have frequent office events and regular team activities
  • Qualtrics Experience Program - $1,800 for an experience of your choosing (eligible after a year)
  • We take pride in our office design aimed at fostering creativity, in an open and collaborative workspace
  • 30 paid days off - 15 Vacation Days + 5 Personal Days + 10 Holiday Closures (additional after a year)
  • On top of standard benefits package (medical employees and their families, dental, vision, life insurance, etc), we provide free lunches every work day, snacks, and drinks

The Qualtrics Hybrid Work Model: Our hybrid work model is elegantly simple: we all gather in the office three days a week; Mondays and Thursdays, plus one day selected by your organizational leader. These purposeful in-person days in thoughtfully designed offices help us do our best work and harness the power of collaboration and innovation. For the rest of the week, work where you want, owning the integration of work and life. #hybrid
