  • At least 12 years of legal experience focused on technology transactions, ideally combining top-tier law firm and in-house technology-company experience.
  • Deep expertise in intellectual property licensing and complex technology agreements, including original equipment manufacturer (OEM), strategic alliance, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreements.

  • Ability to explain complex legal issues in plain business terms, with written and verbal communication skills.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, a fast pace, and competing high-priority matters.

  • Draft, review, and negotiate complex strategic partnership agreements, including OEM, technology licensing, and alliance agreements.
  • Negotiate intellectual property ownership, license scope, data rights, and AI terms.
  • Partner with Product and go-to-market leaders on commercial models for new offerings and translate those models into clear customer and partner terms.
  • Lead commercial contract diligence on acquisition targets, identify material risks in customer, partner, and intellectual property agreements, and drive post-close contract integration and assignment workstreams with Corporate Development.
  • Advise executives on deal structure, negotiation strategy, and risk trade-offs; escalate issues with clear recommendations.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop a Senior Counsel; set priorities, review work, and build playbooks, templates, and processes to scale the function.
  • Coordinate with commercial, product/intellectual property/AI, privacy, security, and procurement legal colleagues to establish consistent company-wide positions on strategic deals.

Desired Qualifications

  • Cybersecurity and/or enterprise SaaS industry experience.
  • AI and data licensing experience, including model, training data, and output rights, and terms for agentic or autonomous AI products.
  • Channel, OEM, and managed security service provider (MSSP)/service-provider program experience.
  • M&A experience, particularly commercial diligence and post-close contract integration; this is a plus, not required.
