## About the role

As Assistant General Counsel, Commercial you’ll be a key leader of TRM’s Legal team, which The Financial Times recently named one of the “Most Innovative In-House Legal Teams in North America.” You’ll partner closely with Go‑To‑Market, Product, Engineering, Operations, and leadership.

## What they're looking for

- Experience. 10+ years of legal experience with a strong mix of top‑tier law firm and in‑house work, ideally in SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, or crypto/Web3
- Commercial & product depth. Significant experience negotiating complex B2B technology agreements in data and analytics‑heavy product environments
- AI, data, and privacy literacy. Comfort advising on AI and data issues (e.g., data sources and permissions, privacy and security obligations, AI regulatory frameworks, content and IP questions), with the ability to quickly get smart on new regimes
- Government and institutional customers (plus). Familiarity with public sector procurement, bank/vendor risk processes, or working with law enforcement or financial institutions is a strong plus
- Builder mindset. You think in systems, workflows, and SLAs, and you enjoy turning ad hoc processes into scalable, documented ones—often with the help of CLM, Salesforce, and generative AI tools
- AI‑native working style. Demonstrated comfort using AI tools for drafting, summarization, research, and workflow design, as well as good judgment about when a matter should bypass AI and go straight to a human
