As a Commercial Counsel reporting to the Associate General Counsel - Commercial, you will be helping us meet growing business demands and continue to provide excellent contractual support to our sales team as well as the partnership and procurement teams.

dbt Labs is a remote-first company with a globally distributed team. This role is open to individuals based in the United States with a preference for candidates working in the Pacific or Mountain time zone.

In this role you can expect to:

• Draft, review and negotiate contracts and other legal documents, including SaaS agreements, DPAs, NDAs, Security Addenda, Referral/Reseller/Partnership Agreements and Vendor contracts, as well as assist with responding to client due diligence questionnaires and RFP responses (NOTE: the interview process will include a mock redline project)
• Collaborate with internal business clients and cross functional stakeholders, including Sales, Support, Professional Services, Security, Finance, People Team, and OrderOps.
• Handle and advise the business on day to day contractual queries
• Work asynchronously as part of a fully-remote, distributed team

You are a good fit if:

• You are a member of the bar in at least one U.S. State, and have been negotiating technology transactions extensively for at least 3 years, preferably in-house at a B2B tech company, with a focus on SaaS or Software Licensing, ideally on sell-side transactions.
• You communicate well with non-lawyers (especially with professional services, security, finance, and order operations teams) and are used to employees of all levels coming to you for advice.
• You have the ability to work independently and take ownership of multiple demanding projects. Procrastination is uncomfortable for you! Coworkers would describe you as someone who is responsive, willing to jump in and support other team members.
• You have strong communication skills (verbal and written) and outstanding attention to detail.

You’ll have an edge …
