About Technosylva

Technosylva is a global leader in wildfire and extreme weather risk mitigation software. The Company’s market-leading solutions, enhanced by AI and machine learning capabilities, provide real-time and predictive insights to support electric utility, insurance and government agency customers.

Technosylva has provided critical solutions for the past 26 years. In 2022 the organization entered a period of significant growth and transformation with investment from TA Associates, a leading growth PE firm, scaling to about 175 employees and offering its product in over 10 countries. In 2024 General Atlantic, a leading global growth investor, announced a strategic growth investment in Technosylva to support the company in its mission.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Legal Counsel, Commercial & Operations professional who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced SaaS environment. This role blends hands-on commercial contracting with legal operations enablement — helping the business teams of Technosylva and its affiliates in North America and Europe move quickly while ensuring compliance and consistency.

You’ll handle the end-to-end contracting process for SaaS deals, collaborate with internal stakeholders across Sales, Finance, and Product, and drive the adoption of legal technology and AI tools to streamline workflows. This is a unique opportunity for a pragmatic, business-minded legal professional who wants to build scalable systems — not just manage risk.

Responsibilities

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a variety of commercial agreements, including SaaS subscription agreements, NDAs, DPAs, partner agreements, and vendor contracts.
  • Support cross-functional teams (Sales, Customer Success, Finance, Product) in structuring deals and resolving contracting issues efficiently.
  • Implement and maintain scalable contract management and legal AI tools to improve turnaround time and consistency.
  • Develop templates, playbooks, and process improvements to standardize contracting and reduce friction for business teams.
  • Support corporate governance, compliance, and data privacy initiatives as the company expands globally.
  • Manage contract reporting, and data tracking to provide visibility into contract status and key metrics.
  • Partner with leadership to identify legal risks and provide proactive, solution-oriented guidance.
  • Serve as a connector between the legal function and the rest of the organization — ensuring alignment, transparency, and trust.

Requirements

  • JD degree and active license to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • 5–7 years of experience in commercial contracting in a SaaS or technology environment.
  • Strong understanding of SaaS deal structures, subscription models, and data privacy considerations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
  • Experience building or managing legal operations functions, including process design and AI-powered legal tools.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to translate legal language into business terms.
  • Self-starter who enjoys taking ownership and making a meaningful impact in a nimble organization.
  • (Preferred) Experience working with international teams and cross-border agreements.
