Head of Commercial Counsel, (VP Level) San Francisco, CA (951-SLS)

Our client, a high-growth enterprise AI company, has exclusively retained Solutus Legal Search to hire its Head of Commercial Counsel. This is one of the most important hires at the company right now — a senior commercial legal leader who will own deal execution across a portfolio of large, complex enterprise customers while building the processes and team capacity to scale.

This is a player-coach role: deeply hands-on in the near term, with a path to grow into the General Counsel as the company scales. For the right candidate, the company is open to hiring at the General Counsel level. The successful candidate will report directly to the President and Co-Founder and manage an existing small but growing commercial counsel function. This is not a role for someone who wants to manage from a distance — the company is looking for a commercial legal leader who sees their job as enabling the business, not just protecting it. The role is based in San Francisco with a strong in-office culture — three days per week minimum.
