Job Summary:

Neumo is seeking an Associate General Counsel to serve as a senior working attorney within the Legal & Contracts function. This is a generalist in-house role for an attorney who can handle a wide range of legal matters, exercise sound judgment, and translate strategic direction into practical execution across the business.

The role reports to the SVP, Legal & Contracts, who retains responsibility for overall legal strategy, department architecture, material risk decisions, and executive-level positioning.

  • Support review of public-sector customer paper, including RFP terms, flow-down provisions, data requirements, indemnity, limitation of liability, termination, audit rights, insurance, funding restrictions, and compliance obligations.
  • Apply Neumo’s contract playbooks, standard positions, fallback language, and escalation rules.

Privacy, Cybersecurity & Data Protection

  • Partner with the CISO, Information Security, Product, and Operations on privacy, cybersecurity, and data protection legal issues.
  • Review data processing agreements, security exhibits, privacy addenda, confidentiality terms, incident notification provisions, and data handling obligations.
  • Assist with incident response documentation, breach notification analysis, preservation notices, and outside counsel coordination.
  • Maintain privacy and data protection templates, policies, and internal guidance; monitor legal and regulatory developments relevant to GovTech, public-sector data, AI, and cybersecurity.

HR & Employment Legal Support

  • Partner with the CHRO and HR on employment-related legal matters, workforce risk, policy review, investigations, employee documentation, and escalation management.
  • Review and support offer letters, separation agreements, employment policies, investigation materials, restrictive covenant documents, and related HR documentation.
  • Support issue-spotting across employee relations, performance management, leaves of absence, wage-and-hour, classification, termination, and workplace conduct matters.
  • Coordinate with outside employment counsel on specialized, high-risk, or executive-level matters.

Procurement, Vendor & Operational Legal Support

  • Review vendor agreements, SaaS procurement terms, professional services agreements, data processing terms, security exhibits, and renewal documentation.
  • Assess vendor legal risk based on contract value, data access, operational criticality, and customer-facing impact.
  • Assist with vendor notices, amendments, termination letters, and transition documentation; coordinate with Finance, Procurement, and Information Security to integrate legal review into vendor intake and approval workflows.
  • Build practical templates and review standards for procurement and vendor management.

Compliance, Policy & Governance

  • Assist with government contract vehicle tracking, including GSA schedules, cooperative purchasing vehicles, state contracts, and other public-sector procurement channels.
  • Help create matter trackers, risk summaries, compliance reports, and documentation standards for internal leadership.

Legal Documentation, Templates & Process Improvement

  • Develop practical internal guidance that helps business stakeholders understand legal requirements, approval paths, and escalation points.

Outside Counsel Coordination

  • Scope outside counsel assignments to control cost; review work product for business usability and implementation.
  • Track matter status, key deadlines, budget expectations, and next steps; identify opportunities to bring repeatable work in-house through templates, playbooks, or process improvements.
