About The Position

As Corporate Counsel at Surge, you will handle commercial contracts that support the business. You will work with the Business Development and Growth teams on customer and vendor agreements and with the General Counsel on matters that do not fit a standard form. The role focuses on helping the business close deals quickly and safely.

This position is suited to a contracts lawyer who enjoys working closely with the business, wants to build a clear set of templates and playbooks, and is interested in growing into a role leading negotiations.

Requirements

• At least 4 years of experience as a lawyer focused on commercial contracts, at a law firm or in-house.
• Strong drafting skills and sound judgment about contractual risk.
• Experience with technology, SaaS, data, or services agreements.
• A practical, business-minded approach, with clear answers and a focus on helping teams reach agreement where possible.
• Ability to manage a high volume of work and prioritize independently.
• Interest in building forms and processes, not only working within existing ones.
• Genuine curiosity about AI and the companies building it.

Responsibilities

• Manage standard customer and vendor agreements and keep forms current.
• Review incoming contracts in the first round of comments and explain which terms matter to the business.
• Partner with Business Development and Growth to implement new product and business ideas.
• Design and maintain forms, templates, and playbooks so routine agreements can be handled without a lawyer every time.
• Take on negotiations, initially with support as needed and with increasing independence over time.
• Work with IP and Data Privacy Counsel and Labor Counsel on contract terms in their areas.
• Help with other corporate and commercial questions as they arise.
