Senior Technology Product Counsel
Employment Type: Full-Time Location: Washington, DC or NY
Minimum Experience: 8 years
About the Role: We are seeking a high-stakes, offensive-minded Senior Counsel to own the end-to-end lifecycle of our commercial agreements and global IP enforcement. You will architect a "frictionless yet airtight" contract system that simplifies negotiations while embedding non-negotiable protections against data trespassing and unauthorized "Shadow Scoring".
Key Responsibilities:
- Frictionless Contract Architecture: Design tiered contract templates (SMB to Enterprise) using plain-language modularity and "Market-Standard" benchmarks to minimize redlines while protecting core IP interests.
- Partnership Ecosystem Governance: Architect and enforce complex Reseller and OEM Agreements. Ensure clear demarcation of intellectual property, customer ownership, and "minimum subscription terms" for third-party value-added offerings.
- Commercial Enforcement: Spearhead initial enforcement actions, including formal "Notice of Breach" and "Forensic Audit" notifications; manage high-value settlements for historical unauthorized global use.
- Public Company SOX Strategy: Partner with Enterprise GCs to align their data usage with SOX internal control expectations, using the threat of reporting "Material Weaknesses" as leverage to force compliance.
- Global Territory Lockdown: Own the "Territory" definition globally, ensuring that usage outside licensed regions immediately voids the license and triggers statutory IP damages.
Required Experience:
- JD and 8+ years of experience in IP litigation, technology transactions, or as a "Product Counsel" at a global SaaS leader.
- Reseller/OEM Expertise: Proven track record of drafting agreements that govern re-branding, white-labeling, and third-party data distribution.
- Public Company Fluency: Expert-level understanding of SEC reporting and SOX compliance, specifically how software misuse impacts a public firm’s risk profile.
- Negotiation Agility: Ability to use benchmarking data and "playbooks" to close deals quickly without compromising on "Condition Precedent" IP protections.
