About the company
Our client is a legal technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Handle a high volume of commercial agreements from drafting and negotiation through to signing, giving practical, deal-focused guidance to business stakeholders. The role also covers building reusable resources for the legal team and helping onboard the next hire, with a route into leading the commercial function.
What you'll do
- Negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements independently, including service, data, vendor and partnership contracts.
- Draft new agreements and standard templates quickly.
- Advise business stakeholders directly over chat and calls with practical guidance that moves deals forward.
- Turn negotiation positions and review standards into shared playbooks and AI-assisted workflows.
- Help onboard and manage the next commercial counsel hire.
What we're looking for
- Roughly three years of commercial work at the associate level, with a shorter track record accepted for outstanding candidates who trained at highly regarded firms.
- Lawyers coming from a law firm background who want an in-house career are a natural match, and attorneys already working in-house are considered if they stay hands-on rather than seeking management responsibility.
- Ability to negotiate commercial deals independently and draft agreements quickly.
- Breadth of experience across many contract and business types, not limited to one industry.
- Strong working knowledge of market terms on liability, indemnity, IP, data and termination in technology deals, and the ability to explain them in plain language.
- Regular use of AI tools in legal practice and willingness to turn judgment into playbooks and workflows.
- A business-minded approach focused on helping clients get deals done, with comfort handling pushback from opposing counsel.
- Active US bar membership in good standing, with California preferred and New York also considered.
Bonus points
- Experience at a leading law firm.
- Background in workforce law, data protection, or equity and governance work would broaden the portfolio a candidate can take on.
Compensation and benefits
- Base salary: $170K to $220K per year
- Equity
- Health and dental coverage
- Retirement plan
Location and work model
- Remote (US)
- Full-time employment
