  • Advise on forecasting, supply commitments, pricing, allocation, manufacturing capacity, warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, intellectual property, and dispute resolution.
  • Develop practical, business-oriented solutions that appropriately balance legal risk and commercial objectives.
  • Drive continuous improvement through contract templates, negotiation playbooks, AI-enabled legal workflows, and scalable legal processes.

  • Serve as the primary legal advisor on commercial and strategic sales and supply chain transactions.
  • Build trusted relationships with business leaders and become a go-to legal advisor for strategic commercial matters.
  • Negotiate sophisticated agreements that enable business growth while appropriately managing legal and commercial risk.
  • Help modernize the Commercial Legal function through process improvements, knowledge management, and AI-enabled legal tools.
  • Deliver practical, timely legal advice that supports the company's business objectives while maintaining a strong risk management mindset.

  • 5–8 years of relevant legal experience, including experience at a nationally recognized law firm and, preferably, in-house with a technology, semiconductor, manufacturing, or industrial company.
  • Significant experience independently negotiating sophisticated commercial transactions.
  • Demonstrated ability to advise senior business leaders and influence business decisions through practical legal counsel.
  • Strong understanding of commercial contracting principles.

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.
