Act as a strategic partner to sales and business leaders, providing guidance on deal structuring, risk assessment, and negotiation strategy to accelerate revenue.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (finance, product, security, support) to address complex commercial and operational issues and support new go-to-market models.
Develop and improve standard form agreements, negotiation playbooks, and workflows to ensure consistency, efficiency, and scalability in legal operations.
Support global expansion initiatives, including privacy-by-design, security-by-design, and compliance programs.
Provide pragmatic, business-oriented legal advice that balances risk with commercial objectives and drives deals to timely closure.

Proven ability to partner with senior stakeholders, including sales leadership and executives.
Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and communication skills.
Ability to operate independently, manage a high-volume workload, and prioritize effectively in a remote, distributed environment.
Bonus: familiarity with open-source licensing and recognition for outstanding partnership with business teams.
