[Hiring] Legal Counsel - Commercial & Integration Attorney @Nearmap

Role Description

We’re looking for a commercially-minded Legal Counsel (Contract) to play a critical role at the intersection of legal, product, and revenue as we integrate our recent acquisition of itel and continue to scale our North America business. In this role, you’ll lead key legal workstreams tied to vendor contract integration while partnering closely with Sales, Go-To-Market, and Operations teams to support high-impact deals. You’ll be hands-on in negotiating, drafting, and structuring complex enterprise SaaS and data licensing agreements—primarily within the insurance sector—helping the business move quickly while thoughtfully managing risk.

This is a highly visible opportunity to act as a true business partner, advising on deal strategy, navigating nuanced legal and regulatory considerations (including data privacy and emerging technologies like AI/ML), and representing the company in negotiations with customers and opposing counsel. You’ll work cross-functionally across a global organization, contributing to broader legal initiatives while ensuring compliance with evolving laws and industry standards. The ideal candidate brings a pragmatic, solutions-oriented mindset—someone who can translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

While this role is initially structured as a contract position, there is a strong opportunity for it to convert to a permanent role based on performance and business needs—making it an excellent entry point for someone looking to make a meaningful impact and grow with the organization over time.

• Strong experience in drafting and negotiating complex enterprise contracts, including but not limited to software licensing (SaaS - vendor side), licensing arrangements involving artificial intelligence, machine learning and machine derived attributes, and data privacy.
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced work environment and proven ability to address complex problems and business needs while reasonably balancing risk.
• Must be able to, and be comfortable giving, commercially-focused, pragmatic legal advice in simple to understand language.

Requirements

• Strong interpersonal communication skills needed to be an effective business partner.
• Strong time management, prioritization, and organizational skills.
• Able to handle matters with minimal supervision.
• Proficient in MS Office suite of products and experience with systems such as Salesforce, Conga, JIRA, and Slack preferred.
