Product Counsel-USA

Inbound Legal Triage

Be the first point of contact for subpoenas, depositions, civil/government inquiries.
Build the subpoena intake → triage → outside counsel coordination process and keep documentation tight.
Maintain a simple internal tracker so stakeholders always know status/next steps.

Contracts & Deal Support

Review/draft/negotiate NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, and strategic partnership agreements.
Maintain a lightweight playbook (preferred clauses + fallbacks) to increase deal velocity.
Escalate complex/high-ACV negotiations to outside counsel as needed.

Security Questionnaires & Compliance Responses

Own customer security questionnaires end-to-end and improve turnaround time.
Build/maintain a centralized Q&A source of truth; use automation/AI where helpful.
Integrate the workflow with internal tooling (Slack/CRM/Notion/Vanta).

Product Law & AI Regulatory Guidance

Advisory on product decisions with legal implications (e.g., desktop apps, background recording, consent flows)
Stay ahead of the AI note-taker legal landscape (recording/biometrics/consent)
Keep key legal documents current as the product evolves (Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, DPA, Business Terms, etc.)

Cross-functional Partnership

Translate technical realities (data flows, encryption, AI model usage, storage) into clear, defensible contract language
Help internal teams handle compliance requests and customer trust conversations well.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years in legal operations, AI law, contract management, or paralegal work—preferably in SaaS or AI
• Comfort owning redlines independently, with good judgment on escalation
• Technical fluency (can read architecture notes, understand APIs/security posture, and ask the right questions)

Why this Role
