## About the role

think of legal as a way to help the business move faster, not a set of gates are comfortable being the whole legal function — doing the work yourself, not just managing it

## What they're looking for

- You have been the first (or one of the first) in-house lawyers at a high-growth tech company, or you are a senior commercial counsel ready to own a function
- You have deep commercial-contracts experience — enterprise, usage-based, data-heavy — and the judgment to move quickly on risk
- You are fluent in privacy and data protection (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and ideally HIPAA)
- You are a builder and an operator — comfortable as a team of one, writing the playbook, and saying "yes, and here's how"
