Product Counsel-USA

1) Inbound legal triage (incl. subpoenas)

• Be the first point of contact for subpoenas, depositions, civil/government inquiries.
• Build the subpoena intake → triage → outside counsel coordination process and keep documentation tight.
• Maintain a simple internal tracker so stakeholders always know status/next steps.

2) Contracts & deal support

• Review/draft/negotiate NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, and strategic partnership agreements.
• Maintain a lightweight playbook (preferred clauses + fallbacks) to increase deal velocity.
• Escalate complex/high-ACV negotiations to outside counsel as needed

3) Security questionnaires & compliance responses

• Own customer security questionnaires end-to-end and improve turnaround time.
• Build/maintain a centralized Q&A source of truth; use automation/AI where helpful.
• Integrate the workflow with internal tooling (Slack/CRM/Notion/Vanta).

4) Product law & AI regulatory guidance

• Advise on product decisions with legal implications (e.g., desktop apps, background recording, consent flows)
• Stay ahead of the AI note-taker legal landscape (recording/biometrics/consent)
• Keep key legal documents current as the product evolves (Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, DPA, Business Terms, etc).

5) Cross-functional partnership

• Translate technical realities (data flows, encryption, AI model usage, storage) into clear, defensible contract language
• Help internal teams handle compliance requests and customer trust conversations well.

• 3–5+ years in legal operations, AI law, contract management, or paralegal work—preferably in SaaS or AI
• Comfort owning redlines independently, with good judgment on escalation
• Technical fluency (you can read architecture notes, understand APIs/security posture, and ask the right questions)
• Familiarity with privacy/security/AI considerations (e.g., GDPR/CCPA/BIPA, SOC 2) is a plus.
• Strong writing, negotiation, and cross-functional communication skills.

• First in-house legal ops hire with real ownership and leverage via automation.
• Work on unsettled, high-impact AI legal questions (consent, background capture, biometrics, AI liability).
• Flexible start: retainer/contract first, then full-time if it’s a great mutual fit.

• Great communication and over-communication when things are ambiguous.
• Customer trust and security-first thinking.
• Fast, incremental iteration + automation wherever possible.
• Accountability, initiative, and continuous learning (aim for 10% better every week).
• Candid feedback and a results-first mindset.
• Impact-chasing over title-chasing.
