Work Environment: Hybrid

Role Summary

Exiger is seeking a Junior Corporate Counsel to support the Legal Team with a primary focus on commercial contracts and contract lifecycle management. This is an opportunity for an early-career attorney with several years of experience to move into an in-house environment, learn across a broad range of legal matters, and take on greater responsibility as they demonstrate sound judgment and strong execution.

What You’ll Do

  • Review, draft, and support the negotiation of commercial agreements, including nondisclosure agreements, statements of work, master service agreements and other customer and vendor contracts.
  • Support senior attorneys with contract analysis, legal research, drafting, and follow-up across the Legal team.
  • Identify contract issues and potential risks, summarize concerns clearly, and escalate matters that require senior legal review.
  • Partner with members of the Legal Team and business stakeholders to address day-to-day commercial questions and move agreements forward efficiently.
  • Maintain contract lifecycle management records, including agreement status, key details, and executed documents, so information remains accurate and accessible.
  • Coordinate approval and signature workflows, follow up on outstanding actions, and retain final signed agreements.
  • Support corporate recordkeeping by organizing documents, maintaining accurate files, and coordinating with colleagues responsible for company records.
  • Track deadlines, communicate progress, and follow through on concurrent assignments, raising questions early to keep matters moving.
  • Contribute to a range of corporate legal matters, which may include employment, compliance, privacy, and other projects based on business needs and demonstrated capability.
  • Use AI-enabled legal research, drafting, and workflow tools responsibly to improve turnaround time, consistency, and work quality while protecting confidential information and applying independent legal judgment.
  • Build knowledge of Exiger’s business and risk profile, seek feedback, and progressively take ownership of more complex assignments.

What You Need

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with the bar of at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
  • One to three years of post-J.D. legal experience in commercial law, contracts, or a judicial clerkship; experience at a mid-sized or large law firm is preferred.
  • Demonstrated interest in commercial law and a working knowledge of contract principles; hands-on experience with nondisclosure agreements, statements of work, or similar commercial agreements is strongly preferred.
  • Strong legal research, analytical, and drafting skills, with the ability to explain relevant issues clearly.
  • Strong organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage contract workflows, records, deadlines, and follow-through reliably.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, sound judgment, and a collaborative approach to working with legal and business colleagues.
  • Practical judgment, including the ability to recognize when to seek guidance or further review.
  • Willingness to handle legal administration alongside substantive assignments, including contract entry, signature coordination, and recordkeeping.
  • Initiative, accountability, and flexibility to manage changing priorities and support the team where needed.
  • Receptiveness to feedback and a commitment to developing as an in-house attorney, applying what you learn as you take on greater responsibility.
  • Agility and openness to AI-enabled ways of working, with the technical confidence to learn relevant contract and productivity tools and the judgment to use AI responsibly to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of legal work.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without requiring sponsorship from Exiger now or in the future.

  • High-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
