Your Role

We’re seeking an experienced Legal Counsel to join our team. This role will be principally responsible for commercial contracting, but will also be called upon to provide general legal counsel to Hudl's core businesses. Though primarily commercial in nature, this position requires a legal generalist capable of advising across multiple legal areas.

As Legal Counsel, you'll: 

  • Negotiate commercial contracts and drive deals. You’ll be responsible for drafting, reviewing and negotiating a range of agreements, including: commercial contracts, sales/customer contracts, product terms & conditions, marketing and technology agreements, partnership agreements, content license agreements and vendor agreements. 
  • Implement and improve commercial contracting systems and processes. You’ll create, update and maintain contracting templates, playbooks and processes across Hudl’s product suites to minimize legal risk while advancing business objectives. You’ll also partner closely with Legal Operations and Revenue Operations, leveraging our commercial tech stack (including Salesforce, Ironclad (CLM) and other relevant systems) to implement scalable and efficient commercial processes. 
  • Provide legal guidance. Internal clients across multiple departments—including senior leaders in Sales, Marketing, Product and Customer Support—will rely on your expertise. You’ll principally support our go-to-market efforts and will be responsible for implementing contracting strategies for new product launches and M&A integration, as well as training relevant business stakeholders on contracting principles and processes. You’ll also support the brand and marketing function by reviewing marketing materials and advising on contests, promotions and other initiatives.   
  • Conduct legal research. You’ll keep up with current changes in relevant areas of law, contributing to the enhancement of our company’s legal knowledge base.  

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska. While we have a flexible work policy, the majority of the team are office-based and your regular presence in-office is expected.

Must-Haves

  • Professionally educated and experienced. You have a law degree from an accredited law school and a minimum of three years post-qualified experience working in a law firm and/or in-house. You’re admitted to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (state or D.C.).
  • Legal and business acumen. You have a deep understanding of laws and regulations that could impact Hudl, especially in commercial transactions, and a practical approach to managing legal risk while meeting business objectives .
  • Strong process orientation. You are a systems thinker with a passion for process implementation and improvement. You have the ability to work cross-functionally, consider the big picture, and can balance competing interests and objectives.
  • A self starter. You use your strong judgment and critical thinking skills to be an effective partner to other departments.
  • A jargon translator. You have strong writing skills and make complex legal issues simple for non-lawyers, both verbally and in writing. 

Nice-to-Haves

  • Relevant industry experience. If you’ve worked with software/SaaS commercial transactions, previous M&A, EdTech, data protection, privacy/student data privacy and/or government contracting, that would be a plus.   
  • Global mindset. We work with colleagues and customers from all over the world—an appreciation for cultural diversity would serve you well.

Our Role

  • Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
  • Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
  • Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
  • Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
  • Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
  • Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
  • Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.
