- Experience structuring and negotiating complex commercial agreements (cloud, SaaS, platform, or similar technology deals)
- Ability to operate independently, manage competing priorities, and drive deals to close with minimal oversight
- Experience exercising legal judgment on risk in ambiguous or evolving regulatory environments and comfortable advising where the law is unsettled or evolving
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Experience supporting go-to-market or partnership strategies for technology products and platforms
