Full Job Description
Job Description

We are looking for a Corporate Counsel with 3-6 years of experience who will be our first dedicated in-house attorney, owning commercial contracting as the company scales rapidly. You'll work cross-functionally with leadership - including directly with our founders - to support hundreds of incoming contractor and vendor agreements at a unicorn ($2B+ valuation).

What will you be doing?
  • Drafting, reviewing, negotiating, and redlining a high volume of commercial contracts (MSAs, SOWs, data licensing agreements, DPAs)
  • Working cross-functionally with hiring managers, the Head of People, and the founding team on contract-related matters
  • Maintaining and improving contract templates and playbooks to accelerate deal cycles
  • Partnering with outside counsel on specialized or high-stakes legal matters
  • Wearing multiple hats in a scrappy startup environment, with potential to flex into employment law matters as needed

Key Requirements
  • 3-6 years of legal experience with a strong focus on commercial contracts
  • In-house experience at an early-stage startup (Series A to Series D); not looking for pure Big Law profiles
  • Tech-savvy and comfortable using AI tools (e.g., Claude) in day-to-day work
  • Ambitious, scrappy mindset with openness to picking up adjacent areas (e.g., employment law) as the company grows
