• Operationalize legal work across teams. Partner with Leadership, BD/GTM, Operations and Product teams to standardize workflows, facilitate communication, support strategic initiatives, and operationalize legal work.
• Support broader corporate matters. Administer equity plan, address employment-related issues, and other corporate legal matters as needs evolve.

• 3+ years of commercial law experience at a reputable law firm; in-house experience strongly preferred.
• Strong background in commercial contracts, with the ability to independently lead negotiations with customers and partners.
