More about the role & team

We’re looking for a Senior Corporate Counsel to join our global legal team. This is a high-impact individual contributor role reporting to the Chief Legal Officer in Bsoton, with a primary focus on supporting our commercial and regulatory needs in North America.

The role will center on negotiating complex SaaS and technology-related contracts, advising on data protection and compliance, and providing pragmatic, business-focused legal advice across a range of issues. You’ll work closely with commercial, product, customer success, and internal operations teams, and serve as the first point of contact for legal matters in your region.

You’ll join a small, fast-moving legal team that partners across the business and helps drive commercial results while managing risk at scale.

What skills and experience do I need to succeed?

We’re looking for a senior, business‑minded lawyer with excellent technical skills and a proactive, solutions‑focused approach. You’ll thrive working independently in a fast‑moving environment and feel confident collaborating with stakeholders and negotiating with counterparties.

Required

• Licensed attorney in Massachusetts or Pennsylvania.
• 5–7+ years’ legal experience, including time at a major U.S. law firm in a transactional practice.
• Extensive experience drafting and negotiating corporate and commercial contracts, including:
• Working with a broad range of client contracts and procurement agreements, particularly B2B technology and information‑related contracts.
• Identifying and resolving contractual and business risks (e.g., indemnities, liability limits, privacy, data protection, information security).
• Managing multiple negotiations and a high‑volume contract pipeline with clear prioritisation.
• Producing clear, effective contracts, amendments, addenda, exhibits and customer communications.
• Balancing fast‑paced commercial priorities with long‑term risk considerations.
• Excellent organisational, analytical and communication skills, with the ability to articulate and defend positions, produce efficient redlines and guide agreements to closure.

Desirable

• Knowledge of data and software licensing, intellectual property, privacy, employment and commercial contract law is preferred, but not essential.
