Job summary

Firecrawl is seeking a Senior Commercial & Product Counsel to run major commercial contracting in SF/Toronto, working with sales and BD to close enterprise deals.

You’ll draft data-licensing, vendor, and partnership agreements, while shaping templates and playbooks to accelerate deals with managed risk. Strong AI/data-law experience is required, with equity and growth opportunities at the core.

Qualifications

• Must be a member in good standing of at least one US state bar or Canadian provincial law society.
• Preferred: a JD from a top law school and experience at a major firm.
• 3–8 years of commercial, technology, or product counseling experience.

Responsibilities

• Draft and negotiate enterprise customer agreements, data-licensing deals, vendor contracts, NDAs, and partnership agreements.
• Be the legal partner sales and BD actually want in the room, not the one they route around.
• Advise on data rights, privacy, confidentiality, security, IP, indemnification, and limitations of liability.
• Work with product and engineering on data access and AI questions as they come up in deals.
• Help build and maintain templates, playbooks, fallback positions, and approval thresholds that keep deals moving without a lawyer in every loop.
• Support the compliance programs and company policies the legal team is standing up.
• Spot matters that need the GC, senior counsel, or outside counsel, and elevate them early and cleanly.
• Pick up whatever else the company needs legally as we grow, because early legal teams don't get to have narrow scopes.
