  • Strong business judgment and negotiation skills, with the ability to assess legal and commercial risk and translate complex issues into practical advice.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with Sales/GTM and other cross-functional stakeholders and senior leadership.
  • Proactive, collaborative, low-ego approach and comfort taking substantial ownership in a fast-paced environment.
  • Familiarity with AI-related regulatory trends, marketing and advertising law, or other emerging technology issues is a plus.
  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission in at least one U.S. state.
