Commercial Counsel

About the role

We are seeking an experienced commercial attorney to join our legal team.

Reporting directly to our General Counsel, you will lead the commercial legal function in the Americas and serve as the primary legal partner to our fast-growing Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams. If you are passionate about cutting-edge technology and legal issues, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a hybrid role based in New York City. We are also open to remote candidates in the US.

What you'll achieve

• Own commercial deals end to end. Draft and negotiate enterprise customer agreements (SaaS, services, licensing, DPAs), channel partner agreements (resellers, referral partners, marketplace), strategic partnerships, and vendor contracts.
• Improve deal velocity. Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams to close deals on time with clear, practical guidance.
• Build for scale. Create and maintain templates, playbooks, processes, and contract operations that support growth and align with policies and corporate strategy.
• Support marketing and protect the brand. Review and advise on campaigns, claims, content, and initiatives. Counsel on related technologies and best practices.
• Manage disputes and risk. Handle disputes from potential claims through resolution, provide strategic counseling, and use lessons learned to mitigate risk.
• Stay ahead of the curve. Track legal and regulatory developments in commercial law, cybersecurity, and AI and partner with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve novel issues.

You will thrive if you

• Earn trust quickly. Internal clients, customers, partners, and colleagues come to you because you understand the business and find creative solutions.
• Move with urgency and focus. Fast growth means you will have to prioritize ruthlessly and roll your sleeves up when needed.
• Think rigorously and keep learning. This space evolves quickly, so you will need to learn fast, think independently, and be adaptable.

What you'll bring

• JD and active admission to a US state bar.
• 5 - 10+ years of experience practicing law at a law firm, in-house, or both, ideally in the technology space.

What's in it for you?

• Flex Life: Hybrid and remote options. Our new office is in the heart of Soho, with complimentary snacks, drinks and social events in one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Manhattan, plus a $500 stipend to set up your ideal workspace.
• Generous Health Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you at your best.
• Professional Development: #Growth is part of our DNA, therefore we provide an annual stipend to invest in yourself.
• Events & Teambuilding: Feel the #TeamSpirit both virtually & onsite, with several events and workshops planned throughout the year including two annual offsite events, summer & winter parties, lunch & learns, & much more.
• Perks: We prefer to adapt to what works best for you. Some prefer lunch to us, others prefer sports with friends, therefore we believe DataDomers should decide what works best for them.
• Parent Care: Gifts & care packages.
• PTO: 27 days + 13 national holidays.
• 401(k) eligibility + matching.

What are the next steps?
