Develop and manage various contract templates and negotiation playbooks and improve efficiency of sales contracting processes in collaboration with Sales Operations

Qualification

A law degree from an accredited law school and admitted to practice law in the U.S
7+ years of experience negotiating commercial contracts, ideally at a SaaS company and/or law firm servicing tech industry clients
Experience contracting with large enterprise companies and strategic partners, often in heavily-regulated industries (finance, healthcare, insurance). Bonus points if you've supported a global sales team with international offices
Exposure to privacy, IP, and/or AI-specific legal issues, with a basic understanding of generative AI. We don't need you to be an expert, but it helps if you know the basics

A business person first that also happens to be a lawyer
Someone who can explain complex legal concepts in a non-legal way
A redline machine - The end-of-month, quarter and year push is real and we work fast under tight deadlines. Efficiency and the ability to prioritize and multi-task are must-haves
A self-starter, who finds ways to add value without being told
A partner - not a roadblock. We get things done!
Curious, reliable, comfortable moving uncomfortably fast, and - above all else - have a low ego
