Corporate Counsel

About the role

We're looking for a Corporate Counsel to join our dynamic US GTM teams. You'll be the go-to legal advisor for our enterprise and mid-market deals, from MSA, DPA, SOW, and NDA negotiations to vendor procurement. Your role will involve advising on US regulatory and compliance requirements, collaborating globally, and providing ad hoc legal support.

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 SafetyCulture Care, as it scales in the US.

Requirements

• Proven track record negotiating and closing complex commercial agreements in a B2B SaaS environment, balancing legal rigour 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 - you bring the depth of a law firm background and the commercial pragmatism of embedded legal.
• Familiarity with US data privacy law, particularly CCPA and its amendments.
• Admitted to practise law in at least one US state.
• Comfortable working across multiple time zones and managing competing priorities across US and APAC business hours.
• Exposure to insurance-related legal matters is a plus, but not required.

Qualifications

• Curious about the business - you actively seek to understand how SafetyCulture works so your advice is grounded in commercial reality, not just legal theory.
• Able to help the business understand where AI-assisted contract tooling can be safely leveraged, and where human review remains essential.

Skills

• Commercially oriented with a bias for enabling deals, not blocking them - you earn trust with salespeople by giving clear, practical answers.
• Self-directed and autonomous -you set your own priorities, know when to escalate, and operate effectively within a lean global team.

Benefits

• Equity with high growth potential, and a competitive salary.
• Flexible working arrangements - we encourage you to create the best work blend from home and our Austin office.
• Access to professional and personal training and development opportunities, including Hackathons, Workshops, and Lunch & Learns.
• We encourage involvement in the community, open source work, attending talks and events, and experimenting with new technologies.
