About the Role

We seek a Product Counsel to work closely with our infrastructure operations and procurement teams to manage, negotiate and close our infrastructure vendor contracts. This work is dynamic, fast-moving, highly cross-functional, and critical to the foundation of our products and services. In addition, this role may also support the negotiation of contracts in our partner ecosystem.

You will:

• Draft and negotiate complex cross-border contracts involving data centers, connectivity, and telecommunications.

• Contribute to developing and managing process workflows and work product best practices (version controls, repositories, etc.) for infrastructure vendor contracts, all to ensure successful day-to-day execution.

• Create and support the organizational calendar, meetings and check-points, partnering with the product manager, addressing action items and driving to closure both for internal stakeholders and external counter-parties.

• Create processes and workflows around contract status reporting and upward reporting.

• Collaborate across multiple internal business partners to ensure the quality of deliverables.

You bring:

• 3+ years in B2B / B2C Communications, Collaboration, UCaaS, or CCaaS Industries;

• experience in telecom law and/or working with telecommunication carriers;

• A strong sense of ownership, inquisitive and enthusiastic about technology, enjoy being continually challenged, and demonstrated sound judgment in ambiguous situations.

• Ability to understand the larger picture and environment while operating in a focused manner (the antithesis of ‘over-lawyering’).

• Outstanding time management skills.

• Broad understanding of technology products and business operations.

• Excellent communication skills, including strong listening skills and an ability to speak as well as write clearly, concisely, and compellingly.

• Data driven, system savvy (you have experience working with Jira, Airtable, Confluence, Excel, etc.).

• Always focused on doing what's right for the business.

• Willing to take on the tough projects and challenges to support growth of the business.

• Ability to be highly productive with minimal oversight from management.

• Takes responsibility and accountability for actions and outcomes.

• Highly organized, both in thought, approach, and in written work product.

• Highly adaptable and flexible – you are not stuck in your ways, but rather are comfortable with jumping into undefined programs and you are able to bring structure and results.

• Ability to multi-task & prioritize.

• a business-oriented mindset;

• a “team first”, ego-free attitude;

• a “roll-up-your-sleeves, get-it-done” orientation;

• a working style of velocity, efficiency and minimalism; and

• a detailed oriented fast learner, able to move quickly while keeping focused workflows.

We are also keenly interested in candidates with backgrounds in any of the following:

• prior experience with an enterprise product-driven company.
