• Lead senior-level commercial and legal discussions, representing Legal in executive-facing interactions and contributing to broader business strategy.
• Provide business-savvy, solution-oriented legal advice on a wide range of issues including commercial transactions, privacy, regulatory, and compliance matters.
• Exercise sound judgment in applying and adapting legal playbooks, including where deviations are appropriate based on risk analysis as allowed.
• Partner closely with revenue operations, sales operations, deal desk, product, privacy, and other cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with internal policies and risk thresholds.
• Drive internal legal initiatives and lead cross-functional projects, including process improvements, training programs, and policy development.
• Support, mentor, and help train junior legal team members and new hires, contributing to the growth and maturity of the legal function.
What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

• Minimum of 8+ years combined experience at a law firm and in-house at a global company drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, including good working knowledge of SaaS agreements, technology licensing, strategic deals, and channel agreements (such as resellers, distribution, MSP, etc.).
