Description

MASA is looking for a hands-on contracts attorney who sees AI as a core part of how modern legal work gets done. You'll manage day-to-day contracting for the company, use AI-enabled legal tools on real agreements every day, and help the General Counsel shape how the Legal Department adopts AI responsibly. If you'd rather be the lawyer building the AI-powered workflow than the one skeptical of it, this is your seat.
