About the Role
This is a foundational legal operations role at a fast-growing AI infrastructure company in the reinforcement learning and AI evaluation space. You will build and own the legal operating system from the ground up, combining hands-on contracting work with systems thinking to make legal scalable as commercial agreement volume and complexity grow.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end legal workflow, including intake, prioritization, approvals, escalation paths, document management, and outside-counsel coordination.
- Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements with buyers, data vendors, and partners, including MSAs, SOWs, data licenses, SLAs, NDAs, and vendor contracts.
- Build and refine templates and negotiation playbooks to handle recurring issues like data rights and usage restrictions consistently and quickly.
- Identify opportunities to automate or streamline high-volume legal workflows using software and AI, while preserving human judgment for complex issues.
- Establish clear decision rules for what stays internal, what can be standardized or automated, and what escalates to founders or outside counsel.
- Manage outside counsel strategically to control spend, scope work efficiently, and reserve external lawyers for high-value or specialist matters.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in legal operations, contracts management, commercial operations, or transactional legal work at a fast-growing technology company.
- Demonstrated ability to draft, review, and negotiate commercial technology agreements, with sound judgment on routine versus specialist issues.
- Experience building or scaling legal operations, contract management, or deal desk functions from an early stage.
- IP law experience, along with familiarity with data licensing, IP-intensive transactions, or businesses where contractual rights tie closely to the product.
- Hands-on experience with US commercial contracting conventions.
- Comfort designing and implementing legal workflows, intake systems, document management processes, and approval frameworks.
- Genuine interest in using legal technology platforms, workflow tools, and AI to scale legal work.
- Strong commercial judgment balancing legal risk against speed, customer needs, and business priorities.
- Experience working independently in fast-paced, early-stage startup environments.
