It’s a great time to join us and grow with us worldwide.
Your mission?
Be a resource to all aspects of Pricefx’s rapidly expanding global business, with a specific emphasis on its USA/Americas (80-90%) and APAC/Australia (10-20%) internal and extenal operations. After an intensive onboarding during your initial 3 to 6 month period, you will be expected to work independently and manage a high volume of contracts, compliance matters, and special projects. The role is ideal for someone that deeply enjoys the day-to-day life of being a lawyer (logic, rules, laws, process) but is a business-person at heart (makes risk-adjusted choices, closes deals, finds ways for everyone to win, and owns results). The ideal candidate is someone that can get along with most people, while having the strength to take on conflict when necessary.
You will be in charge of…
- 50% of Your Time (Commercial):
- Driving Legal’s day-to-day effort on all commercial contracting in the Americas, specifically with all customers and partners.
- Serving as a “first stop” resource for the Americas/APAC commercial team.
- Assisting with revisions and implementation of best-in-class commercial contracting processes, including playbooks, form agreements, negotiation strategies, and contract automation.
- Contributing to the training and supervision of Pricefx employees and partners concerning commercial contracting and related compliance matters.
- 20% of Your Time (Compliance):
- Support the broader Legal, Risk, and Compliance team with implementing compliance processes.
- Serving as a “first stop” resource for the US Human Resources team.
- Assist with data privacy and security issues, including supporting Pricefx’s ISO and SOC certification processes and keeping up to date with legal and regulatory developments in data privacy and security.
- 30% of Your Time (Everything Else):
- Providing support as needed concerning legal matters in the Americas (e.g., lease matters, vendor review, and negotiation, marketing matters, etc.).
- As comes with the legal territory, handling fire drills with a bias towards action and speed, without abandoning our foundation of staying calm and remaining true to our measured, big picture approach.
What should you have to succeed?
- JD degree and in good standing with a state bar association.
- Minimum 5-10 years of legal experience with an emphasis on technology transactions and related issues (e.g., data privacy and security, intellectual property, export controls).
- Experience both at a law firm and in-house; alternatively, if only law firm experience, please be ready to provide references of 2- 3 clients you served as their primary “outside general counsel.”
- Commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards.
- Experience with (1) SaaS companies, (2) venture-backed, high-growth companies, and (3) international companies are each a plus.
- Special skills, expertise, or experience that helps diversify the existing toolkit of skills in the Pricefx legal department.
This Would Make It Easier:
- Understanding that results are generally the measuring stick of success.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
- Possesses strong analytical problem solving and decision-making skills; has the intuitiveness and decisiveness to know when to make a call on a particular decision (or when to escalate).
- Self-motivated and can meet strict deadlines.
- Superior communication and presentation skills.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and can handle multiple projects concurrently.
- An understanding that your role will change over time as the organization grows and evolves.
- You “think big” but also get the small tasks done well.
