## About the role

Be Ketryx's first in-house Legal Counsel (reporting to VP, Finance & Operations). You're building the legal engine that enables us to double our sales team and triple enterprise deal flow over 18 months, cut commercial contract cycle time by 40%+, establish legal operations from scratch, and ensure legal is never the bottleneck on deals that save lives.

## What they're looking for

- Proven track record negotiating enterprise SaaS agreements with Fortune 500 companies, including MSAs, DPAs, BAAs, and order forms—ideally on customer paper
- Experience building legal operations and processes that enabled sales velocity: playbooks, templates, response libraries, or enablement programs with measurable cycle time reductions
- Strong commercial judgment: knows where to hold the line vs. move fast, assesses risk in business context (not legal theory alone), manages outside counsel strategically and efficiently
- Generalist capability: handles employment matters, vendor contracts, and corporate support without requiring outside counsel for routine work
- Excellent communication: clear redlines, concise risk memos, effective sales enablement materials, explains complex legal issues to non-lawyers in plain English
- Startup operator mentality: thrives in high-growth, ambiguous environments, comfortable being solo lawyer, bias toward action over analysis
