Description

This is a highly autonomous, customer-facing role designed for a legal professional with a strong background in sales contracting for technology solutions and a pragmatic, business-minded approach.

Key Responsibilities:

Independently review, draft, and negotiate a variety of contracts with customers, including SaaS agreements, services agreements, DPAs, AI-related and security terms.

Attend and lead customer-facing negotiation calls, often negotiating agreements live as part of the sales process.

Respond promptly to customer requests regarding compliance and product-related inquiries during the sales cycle.

Provide practical, commercially minded legal counsel that balances risk with business needs, working closely with the Sales organization.

Learn and understand the company's products (especially AI-driven solutions) to advise on legal, compliance, and product matters.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Product, Security, and Compliance) to ensure contracts address all relevant business risks and requirements.

Support HR technology-related sales contracting as appropriate (experience in this area strongly preferred).

Requirements

Requirements:

Juris Doctor (JD) and active bar membership required.

Minimum of 5-7 years' experience in commercial contract negotiation, with a strong focus on SaaS and technology transactions.

Demonstrated experience negotiating complex agreements with external customers, including direct participation in live negotiation calls.

Sound knowledge of data privacy, security addenda, AI-related terms, and technology product contracting.

Prior experience working closely with tech sales teams; understanding the expectations for speed, responsiveness, and practical legal advice.

Able to quickly learn and understand new product offerings and technical features, with particular emphasis on AI technologies.

Excellent communication skills-both verbal and written-with the ability to clearly articulate legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders.

Highly responsive and able to manage multiple, competing priorities on tight timelines.

Previous experience with HR technology or a willingness to quickly learn sector-specific requirements (strongly preferred).

Commitment to the assignment period: April through end of October (7-month duration). Flexible, part-time hours (approx. 20 hours/week), with the expectation of full-time engagement during the last month of each fiscal quarter (July and October).

This is a dynamic engagement for a self-motivated attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, tech-driven environment and enjoys client-facing contract negotiations. If you are interested in this opportunity, please apply to connect with our team and learn more about how you can make an impact.
