Job summary

Maybell Quantum is seeking a Commercial Counsel to own the contracts that move revenue. This role partners with sales, finance, and engineering to draft, negotiate, and close NDAs and commercial agreements, while also handling vendor and procurement contracts and supporting fundraising activities.

You will set positions with confidence, balance risk and speed, and help build a scalable contracting infrastructure as Maybell expands internationally.

Qualifications

• JD and active bar membership.
• 4+ years of commercial contracting experience supporting a sales organization.
• Proven volume experience negotiating hundreds of NDAs and commercial agreements.
• Experience with hardware or complex product sales is advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Own NDA process end to end: intake, review, negotiation, and execution, with quick turnaround times.
• Draft, review, and negotiate purchase agreements, quotes and order forms, terms and conditions, statements of work, and service and warranty agreements.
• Serve as the day-to-day legal partner to the sales team on deal structure, risk allocation, and customer pushback, including live participation in customer calls where it accelerates the deal.
• Negotiate customer-supplied paper and procurement terms, including university and government-adjacent forms, and know which battles are worth fighting.
• Support distributor, reseller, and channel partner agreements as Maybell expands internationally.
• Partner with finance on payment terms, revenue recognition considerations, and credit risk, and with engineering on delivery, acceptance, and specification commitments.
• Own the buy side as well: review and negotiate vendor, supplier, SaaS, and professional services agreements, and the inbound NDAs that precede them.
• Partner with finance and operations on procurement terms, renewals, and spend approvals, and build lightweight standard forms so routine purchases do not require legal review.
• Support the legal workstreams for equity and debt financing transactions, including reviewing term sheets, financing documents, investor rights agreements, disclosure materials, and closing deliverables.
• Coordinate legal due diligence and maintain organized, accurate corporate records and data-room materials for prospective investors.
• Partner with executive leadership and finance to identify and resolve legal issues arising during fundraising rounds.
• Manage outside corporate and securities counsel throughout financing transactions, ensuring appropriate escalation while keeping timelines and legal spend on track.
• Support related corporate governance requirements, including board and stockholder approvals, consents, and post-closing obligations.
• Build the contracting infrastructure: templates, clause library, approval matrix, signature policy, and a contract repository that the business will actually use.
