## About the role

We’re looking for a senior commercial counsel who thrives on deal-making and loves turning legal complexity into business clarity. In this role, you’ll be the trusted legal partner to our sales and procurement functions, reporting to our head of commercial legal. You’ll be drafting and negotiating SaaS agreements that power our growth and keep our partnerships strong.

## What they're looking for

- A business person first that also happens to be a lawyer
- Someone who can explain complex legal concepts in a non-legal way
- A redline machine! The end-of-month, quarter and year push is real, and we work fast under tight deadlines. Efficiency and the ability to prioritize and multi-task are must-haves
- A self-starter, who finds ways to add value without being told
- A partner - not a roadblock. We get things done!
- Curious, reliable, comfortable moving uncomfortably fast, and - above all else - have a low ego
