mParticle is growing, and we’re hiring an Associate General Counsel to join our Legal Team during a critical and exciting time in the fast-growing “martech” and enterprise software sector.  The Associate GC will be responsible for a wide variety of legal matters, with a focus on the negotiation of customer, partner and vendor contracts.  The ideal candidate will be a great person first (contributing to mParticle’s culture and values) and a very strong lawyer a close second.  This role will report directly to mParticle’s General Counsel.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Draft, review and negotiate a wide variety of legal agreements, including SaaS/PaaS, non-disclosure, software license and partner agreements
  • Advise internal stakeholders on contract negotiation and interpretation
  • Assist with the development and implementation of policies and procedures, including legal/contracting processes 
  • Develop, maintain and interrate on contract templates and associated playbooks and standard operating procedures
  • Advise on legal and compliance risks 
  • Assist with various (non-commercial) legal matters as necessary, such as privacy (including GDPR), employment, M&A, corporate finance, real estate, intellectual property and general corporate matters 

What we’re looking for:

  • A talented attorney with a law license in good standing in at least one US state and 5+ years of transactional experience negotiating a variety of commercial contracts, including demonstrated success as an in-house lawyer, with a focus on technology transactions (enterprise software, SaaS or PaaS).  Privacy experience, including a working knowledge of GDPR and the negotiation of data processing addenda, a plus
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment on a small, but mighty, team
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with a strong attention to detail and focus on client satisfaction, and outstanding negotiation skills, with the ability to consider the need for revenue generation and company growth, while mitigating legal risk for the enterprise
  • Ability to effectively prioritize and complete a high volume of legal requests
  • Experience supporting a global Sales organization, including the ability to explain complex legal concepts (i.e., indemnification and limitations of liability) to non-lawyers and collaborate with internal teams (in most cases acting as the “quarterback” on the transaction), including Finance, Engineering, Product and Security  
  • Desire to help build a Legal Team from the ground up, including the implementation of legal processes designed to help mParticle scale

What’s in it for you:

  • 100% company paid health care (medical, dental, vision) for employees enrolled in our baseline plan with affordable cost sharing options for your dependents. We make certain you’re protected, have the options you need for care, and that it’s affordable for all. 
  • If you’re enrolled in our high deductible plan, we fully cover your deductible through annual Health Savings Account contributions which are yours to keep. This is for both individuals and for those with dependents.
  • A truly flexible work environment with unlimited vacation, 11 paid company holidays, and quarterly mental health reboot days. This also includes a hybrid work model that provides you the opportunity to design your work in ways that support you and your family.
  • Free mental health coverage through our partnership with BetterHelp which provides you and your dependents with unlimited counseling sessions - all at no cost to you.
  • An ownership culture where everyone receives stock options and can fully participate in mParticle’s success.
  • Parental leave for maternity (12 paid weeks) and paternity (6 paid weeks) and real encouragement to take that time to bond as a family.
  • Generous wellness programs, learning and development opportunities, pet insurance for our furry family members, and so much more! 
  • Here at mParticle we embrace the differences that make us unique. We are dedicated to building an inclusive environment that fosters respect and celebrates an array of backgrounds and perspectives.
