Commercial Counsel, Middesk

• 2+ years of experience in commercial contract work, either in-house or as outside counsel supporting B2B SaaS clients with commercial overflow
• Strong redlining and negotiating skills – you've done this work hands-on and can run a deal independently
• Sharp communicator who can work directly with salespeople and explain tradeoffs clearly, without legalese
• J.D. required; active bar admission required

Desirable

• Middesk is growing fast, and so is the commercial activity that comes with it
• We're looking for a Commercial Counsel to join our Legal team and own the day-to-day work of getting deals done: reviewing, negotiating, and redlining commercial agreements in support of our sales team
• This is a foundational hire. You'll be the second legal hire at Middesk and the primary legal resource our AEs turn to when they need to move quickly and close confidently
• You'll also have real influence over how we build out our legal operations infrastructure, including the tools, templates, and workflows we're putting in place as we scale
• If you want to do substantive work from day one, get in on the ground floor of a growing legal function, and eventually expand well beyond commercial contracts, this is that role
• Own the full lifecycle of commercial contract review: redlining, negotiating, and closing agreements with enterprise and mid-market customers
• Be the primary legal support for our sales team, helping AEs and AMs move deals forward without unnecessary friction
• Help build out legal operations infrastructure, which includes contract management tooling, templates, playbooks, and processes that don't yet exist
• Partner with the Head of Legal on ad hoc matters as you get up to speed on the broader business
• Grow into a generalist legal role over time as your bandwidth increases and the business scales
