About the Role : We are looking for a keen and enthusiastic midlevel counsel to join our small but mighty Legal team. You will work closely with Sales, Partnerships, Procurement, and other cross functional business teams to draft and negotiate contracts. In addition to juggling multiple deals, strategizing with account executives and management, and talking to customers and vendors, you will spend a significant portion of your time on building processes and programs to increase efficiency and deal velocity, and help the team scale with company growth. Depending on need and interest, you may work on product development projects and other areas outside of Commercial Legal. This position reports to the Senior Director of Legal (Commercial).

If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

  • 5+ years of legal experience, preferably including 2+ years of in-house commercial legal experience at a cloud-based software technology company.
  • Strong understanding of cloud services and general SaaS, PaaS, IaaS business practices and relevant global regulatory requirements, with a willingness to dig deep into Vercel’s growing and evolving product offerings in order to build a solid foundation for providing support across all relevant lines of business.
  • Strong judgment and risk assessment and mitigation skills with the ability to quickly make recommendations and decisions with imperfect facts, adapting legal requirements in creative and pragmatic ways to facilitate communication and understanding at all levels of the organization.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and cooperative team player, willing to take on additional responsibilities where no job is too small or too large.
  • Ability to confidently and independently manage and negotiate technology agreements with a wide variety of customers and technology and professional services vendors.
  • Ability to juggle a large quantity of fast-moving workstreams and manage a diverse array of stakeholders, with excellent instincts around what to prioritize.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with a proven track record of building new or improving existing programs or processes at other high-growth companies.
  • Excited to integrate AI into all our workflows and processes.
  • Bonus If You

  • Used Vercel’s products and services.
  • Experience with AI tools or open source software.
  • Experience supporting channel and reseller partnerships.
  • Fluency in other languages.
  • Benefits
