Job description
You aren’t motivated by the job where “you’re just the lawyer,” relegated to redlining contracts and “managing legal risk”. You’re seeking something more, something where you can be part of building something amazing. You understand business, leadership, and The Law. Most importantly you know how to use that understanding to grow a successful business, to promote creative solutions, and to build a culture of transparency, consistency, and respect.
You know what else matters? Being true to yourself. Being in an organization that does what it says it will do. You care about these things deeply, and you’re ready to join a team that holds to these ideals.
You might be picking up on a few things. At Expel, we care as much or more about how we get things done as what we accomplish. We set out on this journey to build an outstanding company solving important problems for our customers, while helping our employees learn and grow. If all of this makes you stand up and say “Yes, this is what I’ve been waiting for my whole career!” then we would love to hear from you!
What Expel can do for you
- Help you grow Expel’s legal team to achieve our business goals while preserving the trust our employees and clients have in us
- Connect you with colleagues across the business who respect what you do and want to work with you creatively to succeed, whether we’re marketing, creating new customers, caring for our clients or building product
- Surprise you with how capable we already are, and how willing we are to support your efforts throughout the business
- Give you the opportunity to shine as you bring creative, transparent, fair, and respectful legal capabilities to bear on business issues, and open new directions for us to explore to create as many customers as we possibly can
What you can do for Expel
- Enhance and manage a revenue contract process that collaborates with other team members (Sales, Finance, Product) and optimizes for client service, with predictable SLAs for common legal support needs
- Revise and maintain Expel’s contract documents, ensuring we use customer-friendly “plain English” terms, and create a playbook of standard legal “plays”
- Support procurement activities, including vendor contract review, guidelines, and templates
- Partner with the Security Team to improve Expel’s data privacy and information security programs
What you should bring with you
- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills using colloquial language, and amazing active listening and conflict skills
- Deep knowledge of legal operations, processes, procedures, and metrics
- Detailed understanding of the commercial data privacy, and intellectual property issues commonly associated with fast-growing technology and “software as a service” companies
- Experience providing legal services and support to a company operating in the SaaS space
- 6-10 years of professional experience in relevant roles
- JD degree and admission to at least one state bar
