The Opportunity

Every negotiation should make the next one easier-not just for you, but for the team.
What You'll Do
Deal Execution & Commercial Leadership

• Own end-to-end negotiations of enterprise SaaS agreements, Professional Services contracts, SOWs, and strategic partnerships across BetterUp's US and international customer base
• Manage complex, high-value deals on customer paper-navigating structural amendments, bespoke enterprise terms, and sophisticated procurement processes with speed and precision
• Partner closely with Sales leadership as a trusted commercial advisor, providing real-time guidance on deal structure, risk, and positioning throughout the sales cycle
• Manage the in-life legal relationship on BetterUp's most strategic accounts, where commercial obligations do not end at signature
• Bring a market-informed perspective on what enterprise customers expect in commercial contracting and keep BetterUp's terms current and competitive
• Support cross-functional teams on product-aligned commercial terms, data commitments, and AI-related contractual provisions
• Own and continuously improve commercial contract playbooks, translating live negotiation experience into clear fallback frameworks that empower the team to move decisively

• 3-5 years of post-admission experience in commercial law, with a focus on enterprise SaaS agreements and complex B2B transactions
• Demonstrable experience managing high-volume deal flows independently, including deals on customer paper with structural amendments
• A track record of building things,not just advising on them

• Collaborative, low-ego approach with a track record of building trusted relationships across functions
• Hands-on experience using AI tools to accelerate contract drafting and review-such as Claude, Harvey, Ironclad AI, or similar-and a genuine interest in pushing the boundaries of what those tools can do in a commercial legal context
• An eye for the systemic-you naturally think about how to make the next deal faster before the current one has closed

AI Fluency at BetterUp
At BetterUp, we're building an AI-enabled organization where continuous reinvention is a core value. Every team member leverages emerging technologies to unlock innovative solutions and maximize impact.
As a Sr Legal Counsel, you'll:
