Greenhouse is looking for a **Commercial Counsel**to join our team!

As Commercial Counsel at Greenhouse, you'll be a key legal partner to our Sales organization, owning day-to-day commercial contract negotiations from first draft through signature for a high volume of SaaS customer deals. You'll balance speed with sound risk management while reducing deal cycle times and building resilience into our commercial legal support as the business grows.

### **Who will love this job**

- **A deal-maker -** you enjoy finding the path from "we need to think about it" to "signed, sealed, delivered," while keeping sound legal judgment at the table.
- **A contract detective -** you can spot the important details, untangle tricky language, and turn legal fine print into clear, practical guidance.
- **A business partner -** you build strong relationships with Sales and cross-functional teams, bringing a collaborative mindset and knowing when to advise, negotiate, or escalate.
- **A workflow wizard -** you love making processes smoother, using smart tools to help the team work more efficiently without letting quality or compliance fall through the cracks.

### **What you’ll do**

- Draft and negotiate customer-facing SaaS agreements, including MSAs, order forms, DPAs, SLAs, and related documents, escalating complex or non-standard terms to senior counsel as needed.
- Support commercial negotiations end-to-end, helping structure deals that balance customer needs with Greenhouse's risk, operational, and compliance requirements.
- Partner with Sales and Deal Desk as a primary Legal contact for mid-market and enterprise transactions, answering questions, resolving issues, and unblocking deals.
- Manage data privacy and security aspects of deals by handling DPA negotiations and collaborating with Security/IT on customer security questionnaires and related reviews.
- Build and improve scalable contracting processes, workflows, templates, and playbooks (including through AI-powered tools) to reduce friction in the sales cycle and increase throughput over time.
- Enable the Sales organization by developing training materials, self-service resources, and guidance on common contract terms so reps can navigate routine issues independently.
- Advise internal stakeholders on contractual risk, liability, and compliance issues in a practical, business-oriented way that aligns with Greenhouse's strategic priorities.
- Additional projects and responsibilities as business needs require.

### **You should have**

- A JD from an accredited law school and active bar membership in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
- 3-5 years of legal experience, with at least 2 years focused on commercial / transactional work (in-house SaaS experience preferred).
- Working knowledge of B2B SaaS agreements, including MSAs, SaaS terms, AI addendums, SLAs, and data processing agreements.
- Demonstrated ability to manage a high volume of concurrent contract negotiations and prioritize effectively under time pressure with strong attention to detail.
- Experience using, or a willingness to adopt, AI-powered contract review and workflow tools, along with a comfort level navigating questions about AI in customer contracts.
- Working knowledge of GDPR, CCPA, and related privacy frameworks as they relate to commercial contracting.
- A track record as a strong relationship builder with sales leaders and business partner, and the judgment to know when to push back, compromise, or escalate.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain legal concepts in clear, plain language tailored to different audiences.
- Familiarity with HR tech, recruiting, or workforce software, a plus.
- Experience with AI/ML contract terms and emerging AI regulations, a plus.
- Your own unique talents!
