## About the role

As Head of Legal, you will own every legal matter at ScaleOps. You will be the first legal hire in the US, working closely with our GTM, Finance and Executive teams, and reporting directly to the VP of Finance. This is a high-ownership, high-velocity role for someone who wants to build a modern legal function from the ground up — one that uses AI aggressively to move at the speed of the business.

## What they're looking for

- Own the day-to-day contract lifecycle: MSAs, order forms, NDAs, partner agreements, reseller and marketplace contracts (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Partner with Sales leadership and AEs directly on live deals — turn redlines around fast, unblock deals, and coach reps on what we can and cannot accept
- Build and continuously improve our contract playbooks, fallback positions, and self-serve tooling so the sales team can move without waiting on Legal for every clause
- Manage outside counsel efficiently across jurisdictions
- Lead legal work streams for future financing rounds — term sheets, definitive docs, diligence, cap table, and board matters
- Run legal diligence, negotiation, and integration for acquisitions as ScaleOps expands inorganically
