  • Commercial Agreements: Draft, review, and negotiate key agreements with customers, vendors, and strategic partners.

  • Corporate & Governance: Partner with leadership and the board on governance, fundraising, and corporate transactions.

  • Risk & Compliance: Design and implement compliance programs covering data privacy, IP, security, and emerging AI regulations.

  • Employment & People Support: Advise on employment law, policies, and workforce-related matters in partnership with People/HR.

  • Intellectual Property: Develop and implement strategies around patents, open source, licensing, and IP protection.

  • Outside Counsel: Manage relationships with external counsel to extend capacity in specialized areas.

Qualifications

  • JD degree and active license to practice law in New York.

  • 10+ years of legal experience, ideally a mix of experience at a top law firm or in-house at high-growth startups or tech companies.

  • Broad knowledge across commercial, corporate, compliance, employment, and IP matters.

  • Demonstrated ability to build legal processes in scaling environments.

  • Pragmatic judgment and business-oriented mindset—balancing risk with company goals.

  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and negotiation skills.

  • Experience in AI, preferably with LLMs and the commercialization of AI.

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to build and scale the legal function at a cutting-edge AI company.
