Senior Commercial & Privacy Counsel- Remote
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.
