About the Role:
We are looking for an excellent attorney and person to join our team and make an immediate positive impact, initially focusing on our business development arrangements, vendor agreements and non-disclosure agreements, as well as with some sales agreements. The position will work closely with other attorneys, the contracts department and various internal functional groups, as well as externally with counsel for other businesses with whom we are engaged, on contract negotiations, transactional management and other matters.

- Experience working in a hyper-growth, fast-paced SaaS business with a novel business model, where the emphasis is on “building” as opposed to “maintaining”.
