Job description

Senior Legal Counsel – Technology Transactions

Location: Remote – North America

GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY POWERHOUSE FORTUNE GLOBAL 500

We are working with a global technology powerhouse, ranked highly in the Fortune Global 500, with a presence across 180 markets and more than $80bn in annual revenue.

The business is looking for a Senior Legal Counsel to join its North American Solutions & Services Group. This is a high-impact role for a lawyer who genuinely loves the deal and enjoys being at the heart of complex, commercially significant technology transactions.

You will work closely with Sales, Commercial, Finance and Delivery teams, taking ownership of transactions from inception through to execution and acting as a trusted legal partner to the business.

The focus of the role is negotiating and leading the legal workstream on complex, multi-country enterprise technology transactions, including:

• Device-as-a-Service (DaaS)
• Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
• Managed Services
• Industry Solutions
• Enterprise technology services
• Complex technology and solutions agreements
• Asset leasing and related arrangements

You will work closely with senior Sales and commercial stakeholders to structure, negotiate and close sophisticated deals, balancing commercial objectives with appropriate legal and regulatory risk.

The role also provides exposure to a broader range of matters, including new service development, AI, governance frameworks and wider commercial and regulatory issues across a global technology organisation.

We are looking for a US-qualified lawyer with 12+ years' experience and a strong track record of leading complex technology transactions.

Ideally, you will have developed your experience within a global technology, IT services or telecommunications business, where you have advised on complex hardware, software and technology-enabled services solutions.

You will ideally have:

• Significant experience negotiating complex enterprise technology services or managed services agreements.
• Experience within an IT, technology or telecommunications environment.
• Direct experience with DaaS, IaaS, managed services and/or broader technology solutions transactions.
• Experience with asset leasing or related hardware financing arrangements.
• Strong commercial contracting and negotiation skills.
• Experience working closely with Sales and senior commercial stakeholders.
• The confidence and credibility to hold your own in demanding negotiations.
• A track record of taking ownership of significant transactions and driving them through to completion.
• The ability to operate effectively across multiple jurisdictions and with international teams.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is genuinely energised by complex deals. Someone who enjoys being close to the commercial action, understands what the business is trying to achieve and can find practical solutions without losing sight of risk.

This is an opportunity to join a business operating at significant global scale, with exposure to some of the most sophisticated technology and services transactions in the market.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside senior commercial leaders on high-value, multi-country deals across hardware, infrastructure, managed services and emerging technology, including AI.

This is not a role for someone looking simply to review contracts. It is for a lawyer who wants to be a true commercial partner, own their deals and play a central role in helping the business win and deliver complex technology opportunities.
