What the job involves
- Tines is seeking a proactive, business oriented Senior Legal Counsel, Commercial to join our growing Legal team
- You will report to our Director of Legal ( based in U.S. Central time ) and will play a critical role in helping Tines scale its global business, supporting complex commercial transactions across multiple regions

- Partner with internal stakeholders to manage commercial contracting across the full deal lifecycle, from RFP and proposal support through negotiation and execution

Our take
Burn-out among security analysts is a real and present challenge to many enterprises. Tines's automation platform solves this problem by automating outdated, slow and complex manual security processes.
The company's solutions are designed to save security teams valuable time and energy, allowing them to focus on more business-critical tasks. The value of this offering is clear, and has seen the company serve an impressive range of clients including OpenTable and Box.
In a relatively short space of time, Tines has proven itself to be a market leader, and has raised substantial funding across a number of rounds. The latest investment will be used to ramp up its AI product development on the back of its release of the AI chat interface Workbench.
