Job description

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

Job Description

Join Our Team as a Commercial Counsel – Technology, Privacy and Emerging Business.

We’re looking for a creative, collaborative, and high-energy attorney who thrives at the intersection of law, business, technology, and data. This role sits within the Business Law & Compliance division of Allstate’s Law and Regulation department and offers the opportunity to counsel on a broad range of commercial matters—supporting Allstate’s emerging and service businesses, as well as advising across the enterprise on technology, privacy, and artificial intelligence (AI).

You will :

  • Provide real-time, strategic legal counsel on a wide array of business matters, including product development, marketing, sales, and emerging technologies.
  • Structure, draft, and negotiate complex commercial agreements—especially those involving technology, data, and service arrangements.

  • Help foster alignment between business goals and legal frameworks in regulated industries.
  • Navigate ambiguity with confidence and help shape emerging business models and opportunities.
  • Contribute to a culture of open dialogue and collaborative problem solving across a distributed, virtual team.
  • This is a remote role with travel required. While the position is open to remote candidates across the U.S., preferred home office locations include Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; Charlotte, NC; or Scottsdale, AZ due to team collaboration and business travel considerations.

What a Typical Day Might Look Like :

  • Partnering with product teams on a new technology rollout or exploring a novel corporate structure.
  • Synthesizing insights from multiple legal experts to offer business-focused guidance in plain language.
  • Drafting complex data licensing agreements or leading the negotiation of strategic commercial deals.

  • Brings process-building skills and a desire to drive efficiency.
  • Contributes creative solutions and innovative thinking.
  • Balances both legal rigor and business pragmatism.
  • Values diverse perspectives and fosters inclusive collaboration.
  • We are fortunate to have a talented, engaged, and hard-working team and are looking for someone with those same qualities. You might be the right fit if :
  • You thrive on advising in areas of law that are unsettled and constantly changing
  • You understand how to build new, efficient processes
  • You volunteer ideas and creative solutions

  • You are comfortable working with both a legal and business mindset simultaneously
