## About the role

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software for critical operations like tracking performance metrics, handling support workflows, building admin dashboards, and countless processes you might never have thought of. But most companies don't have the resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old, clunky internal software, or worse, teams still stuck in manual and spreadsheet workflows. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- J.D. and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
- 10+ years of experience at a law firm and/or in-house, with deep exposure to B2B SaaS commercial contracting across both customer and vendor relationships
- Prior experience leading or managing attorneys or a legal function, or a clear track record of readiness to do so (for example, as a senior counsel or director of legal)
- Strong working knowledge of privacy and data protection frameworks, including GDPR and CCPA, and how they apply to enterprise SaaS and AI products
- Familiarity with legal issues specific to AI, such as model and data licensing, IP ownership, and emerging regulation
- Sound judgment on risk: you can tell what needs escalating from what you can resolve, and you can explain tradeoffs to executives in plain language
