Job description
Our client, a global hypergrowth AI workflow leader, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to assist the company in its search for a Senior Legal Counsel, US.
Reporting to our client’s Head of Legal and Compliance, you will anchor the company’s go-to-market strategy in the United States by accelerating Enterprise and Mid-Market deal velocity as the attorney making principled risk calls without escalation.
As commercial lead in the US, you will handle complex enterprise SaaS agreements, with a special focus on banks and financial services clients, and will create and localize the playbooks and processes used by the US-based GTM teams. You also will advise on privacy, data security, AI, US expansion, and other regulatory issues, and will support US corporate matters, including governance and commercial vendor contracts.
Strong candidates will have 6+ years of experience handling commercial SaaS deals, with familiarity on privacy and marketing issues and creating commercial playbooks and processes. Some experience with federal and state public sector procurement, open source and AI licensing issues, and early-stage commercial and IP dispute assessment is ideal.
This is an incredible opportunity to be the first US-based commercial/privacy in-house counselor with our client, a hypergrowth AI workflow leader. You will have direct access to the Head of Legal & Compliance, partner closely with Sales leadership, Product, Security, and RevOps, and build the US legal function that powers our client’s next stage of growth.
Hours are kind and gentle – with a standard workday and no weekend work requirements. This is also a remote first role which provides location flexibility (a unique offering given the increasing in-office trend). You will join a supportive team that values “good people”, autonomy, experimentation, and smart tooling.
Compensation consists of an annual base salary range of $210,000 to $250,000, an equity grant, and generous benefits. The total compensation package will vary and depend on the candidate’s level of seniority, number of years of directly relevant experience, and location.
Solutus has been selected as the retained representative on this desirable search. Resumes submitted directly to our client will be forwarded to Solutus for review and evaluation.
