- The Privacy Expert: You have a working knowledge of US and EU privacy laws and their applicability in a SaaS context
- The Communicator: You can explain complex "legalese" to a Sales Director or a Software Engineer in plain English. You are approachable and collaborative

- Bonus points for strong understanding of the ad-tech or marketing-tech ecosystem and big law firm experience
What the job involves
- Reports to: President & General Counsel
- We are looking for a Senior Commercial Counsel to lead our contract and privacy functions. You are equal parts lawyer and business builder – someone who doesn't just "redline" but strategically designs the contract and privacy frameworks that allow us to scale
- You will sit at the critical intersection of revenue generation (deals) and trust (privacy). You will be the direct legal and compliance contact for our premium enterprise clients and a trusted partner for the GTM, product and operations teams
- This is a high-impact role for a lawyer who loves the adrenaline of closing deals but possesses the deep intellectual curiosity required for complex privacy compliance and how it intersects with product design
- You will serve as a primary legal partner to our Sales, Customer Success, Operations and Product teams, ensuring that as we grow at lightning speed, we do so responsibly and securely
- Draft and Negotiate: Lead the review, drafting, and negotiation of complex SaaS agreements, Master Services Agreements (MSAs), and strategic partnership deals with Fortune 500 clients
- Scale Processes: Move beyond "one-off" reviews. Build and maintain playbooks, templates, and clause libraries to accelerate deal velocity without sacrificing protection
- Business Partnership: Act as a strategic advisor to Sales, helping them structure deals that are creative, profitable, and compliant
- Vendor Management: Review and negotiate inbound vendor agreements, ensuring our supply chain meets our high standards for security and privacy
- Data Governance: Spearhead our privacy compliance program, navigating the evolving landscape of GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, and other global privacy regulations
- Privacy by Design: Embed yourself with the Product and Engineering teams early in the development lifecycle to conduct Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and ensure new features are compliant before they launch
- Trust & Safety: Review and manage Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and help answer customer privacy and security questionnaires, serving as the external face of Flowcode’s commitment to data privacy
- Policy Architect: Continually update and refine our external Privacy Policies and internal data handling procedures
