YOUR MISSION

You will report directly to the General Counsel. You will get to apply your contract drafting and negotiations skills as well as your broader legal and business acumen to supporting the GTM and product teams.

• Advise on data privacy and security terms in customer agreements, partnering with the Privacy and Security teams as needed.

• Own and continuously refine contract templates, fallback positions, and negotiation playbooks to improve consistency, reduce turnaround time, and enable the sales team to self-serve on standard terms.

• Negotiate and manage partner, reseller, and vendor/procurement agreements in support of GTM and business operations needs.

• Support contract renewals, upsells, and amendments, and field post-signature questions on contract interpretation from Customer Success and Account Management.

• Identify and help implement ways to streamline and scale the contracting process, including AI-assisted contract drafting and review.

• Strong business judgment and comfort making pragmatic, risk-adjusted decisions independently and under time pressure.

• Excellent communicator who can translate legal concepts for non-legal, business stakeholders and build trusted relationships with Sales and other GTM partners.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities and a high volume of concurrent matters.
