Commercial Counsel

The Role

Terabase is seeking a versatile, business-minded Commercial Counsel to serve as a key legal partner across our sales, procurement, operations, and product contracting activities. This role will work closely with the VP of Legal to draft, review, negotiate, and manage a wide variety of commercial agreements, including customer agreements, SaaS and software agreements, vendor and procurement agreements, construction-related services agreements, partnership agreements, NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, order forms, and other contract lifecycle matters.

This is primarily a commercial legal role, but we are looking for someone who can also help build and maintain the contracting infrastructure that allows a lean legal team to scale. The Commercial Counsel will help drive deals to closure, coordinate internal approvals, support contract intake and routing, improve templates and playbooks, and contribute to the ongoing development of Terabase's contract lifecycle management processes, including Ironclad workflows and contract data practices.

• Interest in legal operations, process improvement, and scalable contracting systems.

• Ability to work independently in a lean legal function and partner closely with non-lawyer business teams.
