Job Description

Job Description

Senior Commercial & Privacy Counsel | $205-$275k |Fully Remote

Open to candidates based in major U.S. markets including San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Chicago, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, or Denver.

A fast-growing, global SaaS company is seeking an experienced in-house attorney to support its commercial, privacy, and product functions. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, tech-focused startup environment and enjoys balancing legal precision with practical business judgment.

Responsibilities

Commercial Contracts

Review, redline, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements with a “draft-to-close” mindset.

Manage vendor, enterprise SaaS, marketing, consulting, and partnership agreements.

Ensure agreements align with company goals and compliance standards while supporting quick business turnaround.

Privacy, Data Protection & Compliance

Serve as the subject-matter expert on global privacy and data protection laws, including GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Negotiate and update Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and security addendums.

Stay current on evolving privacy and AI regulations, ensuring compliant implementation in both contracts and company practices.

Provide practical, proactive guidance on cookies, “Do Not Sell” notices, and related consumer privacy disclosures.

Product Counseling

Partner with product and engineering teams through every stage of the product lifecycle—from ideation to launch.

Advise on legal issues related to new product features, subprocessors, and online consent mechanisms.

Support privacy-by-design initiatives and ensure regulatory compliance across new technologies, including AI systems.

Preferred Qualifications

5–8 years of legal experience, including prior in-house experience at a fast-paced B2B SaaS company (Series B–D preferred).

Strong commercial experience on both vendor and sales sides.

Deep knowledge of global privacy laws (GDPR, CPRA, CCPA, EU-US Data Privacy Framework).

Familiarity with SOC2, ISO27001, and AI compliance best practices.

Excellent communication and responsiveness; proven ability to collaborate with executives and cross-functional teams.

Experience with Ironclad, Notion, Slack, or Salesforce is a plus.

Why This Role Stands Out

Remote-first flexibility : Work fully remote with genuine work-life balance.

Diverse experience : Engage across commercial, privacy, and product counseling matters—not a siloed role.

Global exposure : Collaborate with teams across the U.S., UK, EU, and Canada.

Collaborative culture : Work directly with executives and decision-makers in a lean legal team environment.

Potential to convert : Start as a contractor with the potential for full-time hire (target salary range : $205K–$274K + equity ).

Cutting-edge work : Help shape AI and privacy policies for one of the most innovative tech platforms in the SaaS space.
