Associate General Counsel - Product/Commercial

What You'll Do

We’re looking for a lawyer with 7 + years of practicing attorney experience to join our small and collaborative legal team. The right candidate will have worked at a technology company, be technically savvy and hard-working, keen to learn our products and business, and willing to dig into a wide variety of projects in a fast-paced environment.

• Complex data in-licenses
• Customer sales
• Automotive OEM deals

This is a senior individual contributor role where you will come up with practical and creative solutions to get complex deals done and advance our business. Drafting and communication skills are extremely important. We believe that it is the role of in-house counsel to own the deal. You will develop the ability to both mitigate and accept risk. We almost never say to our colleagues “that’s a business issue for you to decide.”

What We Believe Are Important Traits For This Role

• 7+ years of practicing attorney experience, with 2+ years at a top-tier law firm in any area and 5+ years in-house at a technology company in sales-side commercial transactions (not procurement or privacy/regulatory compliance).
• Computer engineering, computer science or other similar technical degree.
• At least 2, but not more than 4, years experience in software patent litigation or patent prosecution at a top tier firm.
• Extensive experience working with APIs and SDKs.
• Experience working on complex sales deals.
• Excellent communication skills. Your writing and verbal communications need to be clear and concise.
• A practical and customer-centric orientation and negotiation style. You understand (or will quickly learn) the business deal so you know what matters and what doesn't and will focus on practical resolutions to speed deals through the pipeline.
• A sense of humor. We take our work seriously, but we try not to take ourselves too seriously.

What We Value

• We value high-performing creative individuals who dig into problems and opportunities.
• We believe in individuals being their whole selves at work. We commit to this through supportive health care, parental leave, flexibility for the things that come up in life, and innovating on how we think about supporting our people.
• We emphasize an environment of teaching and learning to equip employees with the tools needed to be successful in their function and the company.
• We strongly believe in the value of growing a diverse team and encourage people of all backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, abilities, and sexual orientations to apply.

Pay

Our total annual cash compensation for this role ranges from $240,000 - $310,000. Job level and actual compensation will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process (including skills and prior relevant experience, potential impact, and scope of role), market demands, and specific work location.
