Director, Legal

About the Role:

We are looking for a Director, Legal to play a pivotal role in shaping and scaling our legal function during a period of rapid growth. This is a highly visible, hands-on role where you will act as a strategic partner to the business working closely with Sales, Product, Finance, People & Culture, and GRC teams.

You will not only lead key legal initiatives but also help define how legal operates within a modern, fast-moving SaaS company. From enabling efficient deal execution to building scalable processes and implementing legal tech, your work will directly impact the company s ability to grow quickly while managing risk thoughtfully.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-growth environments and wants to build, not just support. You will take ownership of commercial contracting, guide strategic legal decisions, and help create a forward-thinking legal infrastructure powered by tools, automation, and smart workflows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end commercial contracting, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating customer agreements
• Partner with Sales and GTM teams to accelerate deal cycles while balancing risk and business needs
• Build and optimize contract workflows, including implementing and scaling a CLM system
• Support corporate governance matters, including board and audit committee materials
• Collaborate on GRC initiatives such as privacy and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR)
• Provide legal guidance on strategic transactions, financings, and product-related matters
• Manage external counsel efficiently for specialized or complex work
• Advise on employment-related matters in partnership with People & Culture
• Help build a modern legal function through scalable processes, legal tech, and automation

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of legal experience, with a focus on commercial contracting and corporate matters
• A strong legal foundation (LL.B. or J.D.)
• Experience in a B2B SaaS or high-growth environment preferred
• Proven ability to draft, review, and negotiate contracts with a practical, business-oriented mindset
• Strong judgment and ability to balance risk with commercial priorities
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive approach with the ability to operate in evolving environments and build scalable solutions

Why You Should Join:

• Shape from the ground up: Play a key role in building a modern, tech-enabled legal function rather than inheriting legacy systems
• High-impact role: Work closely with leadership and influence strategic decisions across the business
• Growth momentum: Join a well-funded company with strong traction, ambitious goals, and clear market demand
• Innovation at the core: Be part of a product-driven organization leveraging AI to transform a traditionally complex industry
• Ownership & autonomy: Take the lead on critical initiatives and drive meaningful change
• Collaborative culture: Work with a team that values transparency, curiosity, and problem-solving

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary, stock options, and comprehensive benefits
