[Hiring] Corporate Counsel @Yoodli

Role Description

Yoodli is hiring its first dedicated legal hire — someone who can be a genuine business partner, not just a contract reviewer. You'll own the commercial legal function:

• Evaluating risk on customer and vendor agreements
• Turning redlines efficiently
• Giving Sales and RevOps the guidance they need to keep deals moving

This is a high-visibility role that reports directly to the CFO and has meaningful exposure to nearly every part of the business.

What You'll Do

• Own the Contract Lifecycle:
  • Serve as the primary reviewer and negotiator for all inbound commercial agreements — customer MSAs, order forms, NDAs, and vendor contracts
  • Manage redlines, track open issues, and shepherd agreements through to signature
• Be the Business's Legal Partner:
  • Work closely with Sales, RevOps, Finance, and Product on commercial decisions, deal structures, and risk tradeoffs
  • Translate complex legal issues into clear, actionable guidance
• Support Data Privacy and Security Compliance:
  • Review and advise on DPA requirements, security exhibits, and privacy-related contractual obligations
  • Keep our standard positions current as the regulatory landscape evolves
• Build and Maintain Legal Infrastructure:
  • Develop and own a library of standard agreement templates, negotiation playbooks, and fallback positions
• Direct Outside Counsel:
  • Scope and manage outside counsel engagements for matters that require deeper or more specialized expertise
  • Keep work well-defined and costs controlled
• Streamline How Legal Work Flows:
  • Establish contract intake, tracking, and storage processes

Qualifications

• Hold a J.D. from an accredited law school and are licensed to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• Have 5–7 years of legal experience, with meaningful time spent on commercial contracts in a SaaS or technology company environment
• Are comfortable running the first few rounds of commercial negotiations independently
• Have hands-on experience with Data Processing Agreements and a working knowledge of GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy frameworks
• Know when to bring in outside counsel and can manage those relationships without over-relying on them
• Have the skills to provide guidance to help reduce the legal risks faced by the company
• Communicate legal concepts in plain language and can be a partner to non-lawyers without losing precision
• Are highly organized, able to manage multiple open deals simultaneously
• Demonstrate strong skills in negotiations, problem solving, verbal and written communications, and task management and prioritization
• Thrive in a lean, fast-paced environment and are energized by building structure where there isn't much yet

Benefits

• Competitive compensation ($150,000 - $185,000) + meaningful equity
• Full benefits: healthcare, dental, vision, 401k, flexible PTO
• High-impact, mission-driven work with direct customer feedback loops
• Work with a humble, driven, deeply collaborative team
• A product you’ll use and believe in – every single week
