Ready for the challenge of joining one of the best Legal teams in cybersecurity?

First and foremost, it means working alongside our CFO and Commercial Legal team to help Expel achieve healthy and sustainable growth.

  • Collaborate with fellow members of the Commercial Legal team to maintain and improve contract templates, playbooks, negotiation guidance, and self-service resources
  • Support procurement initiatives through vendor contract review, policy guidance, templates, and risk assessments
  • Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Security, and technical teams to proactively identify legal considerations related to new products, features, and services
  • Help scale legal operations by leveraging process improvements, metrics, and emerging technologies, including AI-enabled tools where appropriate
  • Serve as a trusted advisor across the business, balancing legal risk with practical business outcome

What you should bring with you

  • JD degree and active admission to at least one U.S. state bar
  • At least five years of relevant legal experience, including ideally two or more years supporting a technology company in an in-house counsel capacity
  • Experience managing commercial agreements throughout the full contract lifecycle, including sales-side and procurement transactions
  • Familiarity with technology-focused commercial contracting, SaaS transactions, data privacy, and related legal issues
  • Knowledge of legal operations processes, metrics, and modern legal technology tools; experience with contract lifecycle management platforms is a plus
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex legal concepts in plain English
  • Strong project management and prioritization skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Exceptional listening skills and sound judgment to identify legal risks, business opportunities, and practical solutions
  • A collaborative, "roll up your sleeves" mindset and enthusiasm for learning by doing
