The posting

ABOUT THE ROLE

Build and own the legal operating system at an early-stage AI infrastructure company. This hands-on role combines commercial contracting with the design of scalable workflows, helping the business manage growing legal needs while balancing risk, speed, and business priorities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own legal intake, prioritization, contracting workflows, approvals, escalation paths, document management, and outside-counsel coordination.

- Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including MSAs, SOWs, data licenses, SLAs, NDAs, vendor agreements, and partner contracts.

- Create and maintain contract templates and negotiation playbooks for recurring issues such as data rights and usage restrictions.

- Identify opportunities to streamline or automate high-volume legal workflows using software and AI, while preserving appropriate human review.

- Set clear guidelines for what legal work is handled internally, standardized, automated, or escalated to leadership or outside counsel.

- Scope outside-counsel work efficiently, manage legal spend, and reserve external support for specialist or high-value matters.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 5 years of experience in legal operations, contracts management, commercial operations, or transactional legal work at a fast-growing technology company.

- A law degree, such as an LLB or equivalent, and hands-on experience with US commercial contracting conventions.

- Strong skills drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial technology agreements, with sound judgment about when specialist advice is needed.

- Experience with intellectual property law, contract workflows, intake systems, document management, approval frameworks, and outside-counsel relationships.

- Experience creating templates and negotiation playbooks, and building or scaling legal operations or contract management functions.

- Familiarity with legal technology, workflow automation, and AI, plus commercial judgment and experience with data licensing or other IP-intensive businesses.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Annual salary range: $160,000 to $200,000 USD, plus equity and comprehensive benefits. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are available for strong candidates.

LOCATION

On-site in San Francisco, California, or Singapore. San Francisco is the primary location.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
