Corporate Counsel

vCluster Labs

8d • $180,000 - $220,000 • Remote

About The Position

As a Corporate Counsel at vCluster, your role will put you at the center of every deal that matters. We are looking for a commercially sharp, pragmatic lawyer who knows how to hold the line on a redline without blowing up a deal, and who is excited to grow into the company's key legal voice as we scale. This is not a paper pushing role. You will own real negotiations, work directly with leadership, and use tools to move fast across dimensions that most in house counsel would slow down on.

Requirements

• Experience as a contract lawyer or commercial counsel, comfortable with SaaS, enterprise, and vendor agreements, and you understand the mechanics of a real negotiation.
• Negotiated large, complex enterprise sales agreements.
• Ability to hold firm on a position and push back hard when it matters, but do it in a way that keeps the relationship intact and gets the deal done.
• Comfortable using tools to accelerate research and drafting, especially in areas outside your primary expertise.
• Ability to give the business a clear, good enough answer quickly and flag real risk when you see it.
• Some experience with international or EU commercial contract law.

Nice To Haves

• Worked in house at an early or growth stage startup.
• Handled agreements specific to enterprise cloud, hosting, or bare metal infrastructure vendors and customers.

Responsibilities

• Reviewing and negotiating customer and vendor agreements including MSAs, DPAs, NDAs, information security annexes, and supplier codes of conduct, holding vCluster's position professionally without alienating the counterparty.
• Managing a high and steady volume of enterprise contracts across major customers and vendors without becoming the bottleneck to closing.
• Using tools to research law outside your core focus area so you can give the business a fast, well-reasoned answer. Being able to separate where you can find answers and where you need to work with specialized outside counsel.
• Working closely with the sales team to protect the company's position without stalling momentum.
• Building and maintaining contract templates, redline playbooks, and internal guidance so lower risk paperwork can move quickly without a full legal review every time.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).
• Flexible Working Schedule: Results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.
• Workplace Flexibility: Flexible about where you work and happy to adjust the work environment.
