Our team consists of smart, humble, and collaborative people who value ownership over all we do to create a product, team, and company that lives and breathes our motto: Build Together, Grow Together, Win Together.

We are looking for a business-minded Commercial Counsel to join the small but mighty Branch Legal team! You will work closely with the Branch sales and business development teams to advise upon, draft, and negotiate a variety of outbound commercial agreements for both domestic and international deals. You will also execute on commercial projects aimed to enable the business and make the commercial legal review process more efficient. This is a unique opportunity to join a growing and dynamic legal team and support strategic commercial initiatives at Branch during a time of significant growth.

As a Commercial Counsel, you’ll get to:

• Draft, review, and negotiate contracts for complex commercial transactions, including  customer contracts, data processing addenda, non-disclosure agreements, and cutting-edge partnership contracts.
• Find creative solutions in negotiations to address impasses and close deals.
• Join customer calls to answer questions about our commercial standards, our product, our privacy practices, and our operational norms and policies.
• Advise internal business clients on company policies, negotiation strategy, and legal issues and risks.
• Coordinate and collaborate with colleagues from our billing, support, and security teams to efficiently resolve commercial matters.
• Assist in creating and improving our standard form agreements, draft new templates for complex partnerships, revise playbooks, and streamline legal processes as needed as we develop new products and enter new international markets.
• Exercise sound judgment when negotiating key business and legal terms that balances business objectives and legal risks.
• Occasionally collaborate with outside counsel on complex or third party paper deals, as needed.

You’ll be a good fit if you have:

• 2+ years of demonstrated success in a commercial legal role, and a passion for doing it for a long while yet.
• 5+ years of legal experience preferred. 
• Licensed to practice law in the US, strong academic record, and membership in at least one state bar. 
• Demonstrated ability to pick things up at lightning-fast speed, and work well in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to not take yourself too seriously.
• Rock-solid judgment, including ability to calibrate for when we need a quick-and-dirty response, versus a deep dive to get something exactly right.
• Experience in the SaaS, adtech, and/or martech industries.
• Basic fluency in privacy law (this is the one that will get you the most bonus points).

You should be comfortable with:

• Rolling up your sleeves to learn the technical details of our product inside and out.
• Drafting contracts, whether for a one-off deal or a new template, from scratch.
• Demonstrating a commitment to excellent client service, even in tough negotiations.
• Finding creative solutions in deals, even if they aren’t immediately apparent.
• Working independently on various deals under end of quarter pressure, and knowing when to ask for help or a second opinion. 
• Striving for the right balance between partnering with business stakeholders; while developing, maintaining, and enforcing company-wide processes and procedures to be followed.
• Finding ways to provide practical business and legal guidance to random questions from any and all corners of the business, relating to areas of the law that you’ve never worked on before.
