What Are We Looking For?

We’re looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning. AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts. Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.

As a Legal Director, Strategic Deals, you own three areas: strategic partnerships (such as OEM, technology alliance, AI and service-provider partners); commercial support for strategic product initiatives; and commercial support for M&A diligence and integration. This is a player-coach role for someone who wants to build something. You'll roll up your sleeves and personally run our most significant negotiations, from term sheet to signature. You'll also manage and develop a Senior Counsel, while building and developing this new function. This role is a rare opportunity to build and shape a team from day one.

You will work directly with senior leaders and executives across Business Development, Technology Partnerships, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Corporate Development, and partner closely with our commercial, product/IP/AI, privacy, and procurement legal teams. We are looking for someone who can structure a deal, not just paper it.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include

Strategic Partnerships: Draft, review, and negotiate complex partnership agreements including OEM, technology licensing and alliance.

IP Licensing & Technology Rights: Negotiate IP ownership, license scope, data rights, and AI terms.

Strategic Product Initiatives: Partner with Product and GTM leaders on the commercial model for new offerings and translate those into clear customer and partner terms.

M&A Support: Lead commercial contract diligence on acquisition targets, identify material risks in customer, partner, and IP agreements, and drive post-close contract integration and assignment workstreams in partnership with Corporate Development.

Deal Strategy & Risk Judgment: Advise executives on deal structure, negotiation strategy, and risk trade-offs. Escalate the right issues at the right altitude, with a clear recommendation.

Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and develop a Senior Counsel. Set priorities, review work, and build playbooks, templates, and processes that let the function scale.
