📋 Description

• Own commercial contracting. Draft, review, redline, negotiate, and close client, agency, and customized agreements, including MSAs, SOWs, order forms that focus on Saas and digital-credit and usage-based arrangements, NDAs, and amendments. • Lead client-side legal negotiations with speed. Take ownership of legal terms once commercial terms are set; respond and turn drafts quickly, negotiate directly with client legal, procurement, privacy, and security teams, and maintain momentum through execution. Provide business stakeholders with concise status updates, clearly framed risks, and the specific decisions needed to close. • Manage vendor and consulting agreements. Review and negotiate inbound SaaS, technology, data, professional-services, contractor, and consulting agreements, balancing operational needs, speed, cost, and risk. • Apply commercially calibrated risk judgment. Negotiate and provide practical guidance on liability caps, indemnities, warranties, intellectual property and content rights, confidentiality, data use, security, privacy, insurance, payment, termination, and dispute provisions. Understand which protections are essential, where Statusphere can responsibly accept risk, and when an issue requires executive or outside-counsel escalation. • Own website and product legal content. Maintain and periodically update website Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, cookie and consent language, and other customer- or user-facing legal notices in coordination with Product, Marketing, Security, and outside specialists. • Own Creator-Statusphere and Brand-Creator Agreements. Signed for each campaign and brands may have specific versions of this to deploy which must be monitored and auditable. • Provide operational legal guidance. Answer day-to-day questions involving payments, contracting authority, creator relationships, content and usage rights, compliance, business processes, and other legal issues arising across the company. • Build scalable legal operations. Create and maintain templates, clause libraries, negotiation playbooks, approval thresholds, fallback positions, intake processes, signature workflows, and a contract repository that improve speed and consistency. • Advise executives and manage escalation. Present the COO/CFO and other C-level leaders with a concise assessment of the issue, business impact, likelihood and severity of risk, available options, and a clear recommended path. Prioritize matters by business impact and coordinate outside counsel for specialized, jurisdiction-specific, or high-risk matters. • Partner cross-functionally and learn the business. Build a strong working understanding of Statusphere’s customers, creator ecosystem, products, revenue model, deal economics, and operating workflows. Work closely with Sales and other teams to remove deal blockers, support accurate handoffs, and ensure contractual commitments are understood, documented, and operationally achievable. • Other duties and projects as assigned

🎯 Requirements

• 4–6 years of post-J.D. transactional legal experience at a leading law firm, established corporation, high-growth startup, or a combination of these environments. • Meaningful experience independently handling a high monthly volume of commercial contracts with consistently quick turnaround, while serving internal business partners who expect Legal to own the language, negotiation, risk recommendation, and path to resolution—not simply confirm their interpretation. • Strong experience negotiating B2B SaaS, technology, digital services, agency, consulting, vendor, MSA, SOW, NDA, and customized commercial agreements. • Demonstrated ability to run contract negotiations directly with sophisticated counterparties while maintaining momentum, protecting priority positions, and making commercially sound tradeoffs based on the company's business model and objectives. • Working knowledge of U.S. privacy and data-protection requirements, including CCPA/CPRA, and familiarity with GDPR and data-processing concepts relevant to SaaS and marketing technology. • Sound judgment across intellectual property, content and data rights, confidentiality, indemnification, limitation of liability, warranties, security, insurance, payment, and termination issues. • Executive-level communication skills and the ability to translate legal issues into concise business guidance: what the risk is, how it could affect the company, whether it is acceptable, what alternatives exist, and what action you recommend. • Highly organized, responsive, and comfortable operating autonomously in a fast-moving remote environment with competing deadlines; known for rapid, reliable turnaround without sacrificing judgment or quality. • A service-oriented, low-ego approach and the confidence to make decisions, escalate appropriately, and collaborate constructively across functions.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience • Medical, dental, and vision insurance • Flexible FTO and paid holidays • 4% 401(k) match • Work-from-anywhere flexibility • Paid parental leave • Employee stock options • The opportunity to build Statusphere’s in-house legal function and legal operating model • A collaborative, innovative, positive, and team-oriented culture
