We're looking for a Commercial Counsel, GTM to join our legal team at the forefront of shaping how cutting-edge AI technology reaches users, researchers, and enterprises worldwide. You'll work alongside experienced colleagues who operate as true strategic partners—moving fast, thinking creatively, and working collaboratively to support deals that matter. In this role, you'll focus heavily on supporting our Go-to-Market teams, handling enterprise agreements and customer negotiations while gaining exposure to a range of commercial work including research collaborations, product partnerships, and procurement. Additionally, you’ll have opportunities to work on cutting-edge AI safety and research agreements, including threat-sharing frameworks with leading security organizations and collaborations that shape and advance responsible AI development standards.

Responsibilities

  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, with a primary focus on GTM/Sales transactions including enterprise customer contracts
  • Partner closely with Sales and Go-to-Market teams to support deal velocity and provide practical legal guidance
  • Help build and maintain our commercial legal infrastructure, including contract templates, playbooks, and process improvements
  • Potentially partner with Policy, Safeguards, and Research teams on novel AI governance initiatives
  • Identify and escalate legal risks appropriately while supporting business momentum
  • Stay current on legal developments affecting AI technologies

Qualifications

  • Hold a law degree (JD, LLB, or equivalent) and meet the local licensing requirements to work as in-house counsel where you'll be based
  • At least 3-5 years of legal experience, with exposure to commercial contracts, SaaS agreements, or technology transactions
  • Clear communication skills and comfort translating legal concepts for non-lawyer audiences
  • A low-ego, collaborative approach to working with colleagues and external partners
  • Curiosity about AI technology, AI Policy, and commitment to responsible AI development
  • Experience navigating multi-stakeholder agreements involving technical and policy considerations
  • Comfort in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities
  • A 'doer' attitude—willingness to roll up your sleeves and pitch in where needed
