About the team:

We are excited about expanding our Legal Team!

You’ll also be a trusted business partner to other teams across the company and share Ironclad’s pragmatic, thoughtful, creative, collaborative, technology and process-driven approaches when providing legal and business guidance.

Ultimately, you’ll be expected to advise on topics that fall outside of commercial contracts like data protection, security, risk management, marketing and promotions, and general operations. As part of a close-knit, results-driven, and collaborative Legal Team, you will play an important role in maintaining and shaping the culture, objectives, and execution strategy of the Ironclad Legal Team and the entire company.
