Full job description

Our client is a rapidly growing technology company at the forefront of AI infrastructure. Its innovative products support advanced AI workloads through integrated hardware and cloud solutions. Following a highly successful recent initial public offering, the company is entering an important new stage of expansion, with growing customer demand, increasingly sophisticated commercial relationships and significant investment in its platform and operations. This is an exciting time to join a company that is scaling rapidly while helping shape the future of AI computing.

The company seeks a sophisticated commercial transactions lawyer to join its legal team as Director, Commercial Legal. Reporting to the Vice President of Legal, Commercial and Privacy, this attorney will work independently on the company’s most complex transactions. The core of the role is negotiating large hardware sales and related services agreements, together with cloud services transactions and other IP-intensive commercial arrangements. The attorney will also support select supply-side and strategic transactions.

This is a highly visible senior role for an experienced deal lawyer who can understand technical products, structure practical solutions and lead negotiations to closure with limited oversight. The successful candidate will work closely with senior executives and teams across sales, engineering, product, finance, security, privacy and supply chain. As the company and legal department continue to grow, this attorney will have meaningful opportunities to expand the scope of the role, assume broader leadership responsibilities and advance within the organization.
