Senior Counsel, Commercial

About the Role

Reporting to the Senior Managing Associate General Counsel, EMEA, you will provide U.S. Eastern Time coverage and partner with cross-functional stakeholders across Legal and Government Affairs, Corporate Development, Sales, Product, Finance, Strategy, and Tax on some of CoreWeave's most structurally complex international transactions.

• Lead day-to-day drafting, negotiation, and execution of term sheets and definitive agreements across active and emerging EMEA and APAC jurisdictions.
• Manage workflow process and execution status across the live deal pipeline, proactively identifying and escalating deviations, novel structures, or jurisdictional risks.
• Draft, negotiate, and close MSAs, order forms, partnership agreements, and vendor agreements supporting Omni and adjacent commercial work.
• Partner cross-functionally to move deals at the pace of the business, while pragmatically managing legal and commercial risk.
• Advise business leaders, in coordination with the Senior Managing Associate General Counsel, EMEA, on transaction structures and operating models as CoreWeave enters new markets, providing proactive, commercially focused counsel and escalating material or novel issues appropriately.
• Contribute to and maintain the Omni process, workflows, template and playbook set, so repeat deal structures execute faster over time.
• Coordinate with outside counsel and internal subject-matter experts on jurisdiction-specific issues arising from Omni transactions, including sovereign and government-adjacent counterparties.
• Help develop and implement a legal support plan with overseas teammates and outside counsel to ensure seamless and timely support of transactions across stakeholders in multiple time zones.
