Corporate Counsel

Mitti by SafetyCulture is a global tech company building tools for the three billion frontline workers who keep the world moving. With nearly 1,000 team members, we combine big-tech scale with a lean, ownership-driven culture—every permanent employee receives equity, so growth benefits everyone.

About the role

As Corporate Counsel, you’ll serve as the primary legal partner for Mitti's US go-to-market (GTM) teams. You’ll own commercial contract negotiation end-to-end, ensure deals move quickly, and provide commercially-minded legal guidance to a fast-scaling business. You’ll collaborate closely with our global Legal team across Sydney and the UK while acting as a trusted, embedded partner to Sales, Customer Success, and other teams.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end commercial contract negotiation for US enterprise and mid-market deals—MSAs, DPAs, SOWs, and NDAs—closing at pace without exposing the business to undue risk.
• Lead vendor procurement negotiations for internal tools used across the business.
• Build and maintain self-serve legal resources that reduce bottlenecks and empower the GTM team to handle routine negotiations independently.
• Advise on US regulatory and compliance requirements, including CCPA and equivalent state-level data privacy frameworks as they apply to a SaaS business.
• Collaborate across time zones with the global Legal team in Sydney and the UK, contributing to global projects and ensuring consistency across jurisdictions.
• Identify patterns in legal risk across the GTM pipeline and proactively recommend improvements to templates, processes, and internal guidance.
• Provide ad hoc legal support to other business units, including Mitti Insurance, as it scales in the US.

Requirements

• Proven track record negotiating and closing complex commercial agreements in a B2B SaaS environment, balancing legal rigor with deal velocity.
• Strong foundation in US contract law—commercial terms, liability, IP, data protection, and indemnification.
• Experience in both private practice and an in-house legal function—combining law firm depth with commercial pragmatism.
• Familiarity with US data privacy law, particularly CCPA and its amendments.
• Admitted to practice law in at least one US state.
• Comfortable working across multiple time zones and managing competing priorities during US and APAC business hours.
• Exposure to insurance-related legal matters is a plus but not required.

Skills

• Commercially oriented with a bias for enabling deals, not blocking them—earning trust by providing clear, practical answers.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity—assessing novel legal questions, identifying pragmatic solutions, and delivering clear recommendations.
• Self-directed and autonomous—setting priorities, knowing when to escalate, and operating effectively within a lean global team.
• Curious about the business—actively seeking to understand how Mitti works to ground advice in commercial reality, not just legal theory.
• Actively uses AI tools to increase throughput and reduce time on routine work—evaluating AI-generated legal output for accuracy and risk.
• Helps the business understand where AI-assisted contract tooling can be safely leveraged and where human review remains essential.

Benefits

• Equity with high growth potential and a competitive salary.
• Flexible working arrangements—create the best blend of remote work and office time in Austin or Kansas City.
• Access to professional and personal training and development opportunities, including hackathons, workshops, and lunch & learns.
• Encouragement to engage with the community, contribute to open source, attend talks and events, and experiment with new technologies.
• Commitment to building inclusive teams and fostering a sense of belonging—reasonable adjustments are made to support all candidates.
