The posting

Why LeoLabs?

At LeoLabs, we're building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions.

We're not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations.

If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, the Senior Corporate Counsel will provide legal support across LeoLabs' U.S. Government and defense contracting, commercial transactions, supply chain operations, compliance, corporate governance, and day-to-day business activities.

This role will serve as a trusted legal advisor and business partner, working closely with leadership and teams across Finance, HR, Recruiting, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, and Business Development to identify and manage legal and regulatory risks while supporting business priorities.

  • Draft, review, and negotiate prime contracts, subcontracts, teaming agreements, and related arrangements while ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and applicable contractual flow-down requirements.
  • Advise on and manage Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REAs), bid protests, claims, government audits, inspections, disputes, and other government contracting matters.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to identify and mitigate contractual, regulatory, and operational risks associated with government programs.

Commercial Transactions & Supply Chain Operations

  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including strategic agreements, MSAs, SLAs, SaaS agreements, licensing arrangements, purchase orders, statements of work, service agreements, and vendor contracts.
  • Provide legal guidance across customer-facing and procurement activities, including supply chain operations, vendor management, logistics, and commercial relationships.
  • Advise on contractual risk allocation, indemnification, limitation of liability, insurance, confidentiality, intellectual property, licensing, and data rights.
  • Develop and maintain scalable contract templates, playbooks, and processes to support efficient business operations and consistent risk management.

Compliance & Regulatory Matters

  • Advise on applicable U.S. and international regulatory requirements, including global trade compliance, customs, export controls, sanctions, ITAR, and EAR.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to develop and maintain ethics, compliance, regulatory, industrial security, and information security policies, procedures, training, and controls.
  • Monitor legal and regulatory developments, identify emerging risks, and provide practical recommendations to leadership and relevant teams.

Corporate Governance, M&A & Strategic Legal Support

  • Support the Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary with corporate governance, Board-related activities, strategic initiatives, and other corporate legal matters.
  • Provide legal support for M&A and financing transactions, including due diligence, transaction documentation, integration, and post-closing activities.
  • Engage and manage outside counsel and legal consultants as needed, ensuring effective and cost-conscious support.

HR, Recruiting & Corporate Operations

  • Advise HR and Recruiting on employment matters, workforce policies, employee relations, confidentiality, intellectual property, restrictive covenants, and other employment-related legal considerations.
  • Partner with Finance and Accounting on contractual obligations, insurance, tax-related matters, audits, and other corporate requirements.
  • Serve as a practical day-to-day legal resource, helping teams identify legal considerations early and develop appropriate solutions.

Required Qualifications

  • J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and admission in good standing to at least one U.S. State Bar.
  • 10+ years of relevant legal experience, including experience supporting a fast-growing, venture capital-backed aerospace and defense company.

  • Strong knowledge of export controls and international trade compliance, including ITAR, EAR, and related regulatory requirements.
  • Experience implementing Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance frameworks.
  • Experience advising on intellectual property, licensing, data rights, and related commercial matters.
  • Experience supporting HR and Recruiting on employment-related legal matters and broader domestic and international corporate compliance matters.
  • Experience managing outside counsel and consultants efficiently and cost-effectively.
  • Strong business judgment, communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify legal risks and provide practical, actionable advice.
  • Ability to work independently, collaborate across all levels of the organization, and balance legal requirements with business objectives in a fast-paced environment
