Job description

Finance & Legal · San Francisco (HQ) · FullTime · Senior level

This is a sole in-house counsel seat focused on negotiating enterprise deals: MSAs, order forms, DPAs and evaluation agreements with large buyers. A strong candidate has led complex commercial negotiations personally, knows privacy and data terms well, and can triage a busy queue while still giving big deals real attention. Building repeatable playbooks and routing work to self serve or outside counsel matters as much as closing individual deals.

How it fits the AI era

The company already runs an AI assisted legal workflow for intake and first pass review, so much of the routine contract work can move faster and with less lawyer time. The human core stays in judgment: deciding fallback positions, handling high stakes negotiations, and knowing when a lawyer must stay in the loop on AI and data clauses. The role is partly about making that workflow sharper so attention goes to the deals that matter.

How it builds AI experience

The work offers hands on practice running an AI native legal process day to day, including where AI review helps and where it does not. Because the company sells a platform that maps work and assigns pieces to AI agents, the counsel gains direct exposure to AI use and model training clauses in customer contracts. Building this means getting comfortable with tools like Claude or similar legal review products and forming clear views on their limits.

Worth showing
  • DPA and privacy depth
  • AI contract clauses
  • Playbook building

About Within

A platform that maps how a company's work actually gets done, then reassigns pieces of that work between employees and AI agents.
