Commercial Counsel

About the role

We are seeking an experienced commercial lawyer with a strong background in commercial contracts relevant to a technology company as it relates to our customers and vendors. Reporting to DataCamp's General Counsel, this is a strategically important role that will help DataCamp achieve its goals at a time of dynamic growth. This is a role designed for someone who can be pointed at a problem and trusted to deliver. You will have a clear remit, the authority to make decisions within it, and a General Counsel who is available when you need a sounding board - but who is not going to micromanage your inbox. As our Commercial Counsel, you will support internal business partners and assist on a broad variety of transactional matters in a growing technology company by: Leading drafting and negotiation on a broad range of agreements (including Master Services Agreements, terms of service, services agreements, other SaaS agreements, NDAs, data processing addenda, and requests for proposals) supporting DataCamp's business teams, with a primary focus of supporting the licensing of DataCamp's products and services to its customers and channel partners and vendor software licensing. Owning deals end-to-end, from first redline through signature, including direct engagement with customer counsel and procurement teams. You will be the named legal contact on the deals you run. Collaborating closely with Sales, Customer Success, Partnerships, Operations, and Finance teams to shepherd deals to completion - including at quarter-end and year - end. Facilitating the timely closure of business transactions while minimizing risk exposure. Providing day-to-day commercial legal support, business-focused counseling, and advice to the sales organization - practical advice that helps stakeholders get to yes rather than gating them on risk. Supporting the continuous improvement of standard form agreements and legal contracting processes. Defining, building and implementing processes and technologies to effectively deliver legal support in a scalable manner to DataCamp's rapidly expanding portfolio of enterprise customers. Leading internal projects, training, and driving cross-functional efforts to completion. Assisting with special projects as needed. You will be based remotely (EU) and support transactions across all international offices (currently UK, Belgium and New York).

• Demonstrable experience with SaaS agreements, technology licensing, strategic deals, and channel agreements (such as resellers, distribution, MSP, etc.). In-house experience at a technology company is a strong plus.
• Prior experience supporting a heavy volume of commercial transactions relevant to a technology company across various business functions in a fast-paced environment.
• The maturity and judgment to own work end-to-end with limited supervision - making decisions within your remit, escalating what genuinely needs escalation, and neither over-checking nor under-fl
