As the most trusted global leader in data-first contract lifecycle management (CLM) software, Agiloft helps organizations manage the end-to-end process of proposing, negotiating, signing, and leveraging contracts using our flexible Data-first Agreement Platform (DAP). With contract data as the foundation, customers quickly and collaboratively reach agreement and leverage contract visibility to thrive with competitive advantage. Employing powerful, pragmatic artificial intelligence as a legal force multiplier, and robust integration capabilities as a data liberator, organizations around the world trust Agiloft’s certified implementers to deliver connected, intelligent, and autonomous solutions across the entire contract lifecycle.
Top analysts like Gartner, Forrester, and IDC agree, all showing Agiloft as a leader in the CLM space. Our no code platform is easily managed and administered by business users, which is why Agiloft is the contract you keep: nearly a full 100% of new customers are satisfied with their initial implementations, and some 97% of customers renew every year. Ours is a growing, vibrant, successful company that is at the forefront of a market that is becoming a must-have for all organizations.
We believe that the way to build the strongest, most vibrant place to work is to bring in individuals from all walks of life, and to support them in bringing their authentic selves to their day, every day. Our working philosophy is that “EX = CX”: when employee experience is excellent, so is customer experience. We support multiple Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and offer a working environment that supports healthy work/life balance, including floating holidays and a quarterly, no-questions-asked wellness day.
This role leads Agiloft’s core legal practices across commercial and product domains, enabling the business to move faster while maintaining sound risk judgment. The Associate General Counsel partners closely with executive leadership, product, and legal operations to embed legal guidance directly into decision-making and product development.
This role shapes how legal work is delivered by building scalable, AI-enabled systems that convert repeatable work into structured frameworks, improving speed, consistency, and insight. It plays a central role in aligning legal strategy with business growth, ensuring legal is not a downstream reviewer but an integrated partner.
Key areas of impact include commercial contracting strategy, product and AI counseling, legal-enabled risk frameworks, and the development of a high-performing legal team. The role also contributes to enterprise-level decision-making, engaging directly with executive leadership and the Board.
Over time, success is reflected in increased leverage of the legal function, faster cycle times on repeatable work, deeper integration with product and commercial teams, and measurable evolution of legal workflows through AI enablement.
