Job Description

• Lead vendor and procurement contracts from front to back. • Keep deals moving instead of getting stuck in redlines. • Be a true partner to the business. • Design and improve legal workflows from the ground up. • Create the playbooks and tools others will rely on. • Streamline onboarding and lifecycle management. • Balance risk and momentum.

Job Requirements

  • Seasoned commercial contracts experience with 5+ years focused on commercial, procurement, or vendor agreements, ideally including both drafting and negotiating in a high-volume environment.
  • In-house background at a SaaS or technology company (or comparable environment) where you’ve supported fast-moving teams and learned how to balance risk with speed.
  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • Builder mindset for legal processes. You’ve created or significantly improved legal workflows, templates, or playbooks from scratch, not just followed what was already there.
  • Strong business acumen.
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator.
  • Comfort with fast-paced, evolving environments.

Benefits

  • Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
  • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
  • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
  • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
  • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
