Sr. Legal Counsel

AssemblyAI is growing rapidly, and we’re looking for an experienced and business-minded Legal Counsel to join our team at a key moment in our company’s growth. In this role, you’ll take ownership of a well-established legal function and continue building on strong foundational work. You’ll partner closely with Sales, Procurement, Finance, Security, and senior leadership to manage a wide range of legal matters—with an initial focus on commercial contracts and the opportunity to expand into areas like privacy, compliance, and corporate support. This is a high-impact, highly cross-functional role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, remote-first startup environment and is eager to help shape the legal and operational structure of a cutting-edge AI company. The responsibilities include: drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a variety of commercial agreements, collaborating closely with Sales, Finance, and Security to support deal execution and manage contract-related risks, developing and scaling legal templates, workflows, and internal processes to support our growing operations, building and delivering internal policies, training, and guidance to help teams stay aligned with legal and regulatory best practices, providing legal support on corporate governance, employment matters, and other internal operational needs, and taking on ad hoc legal projects and high-priority cross-functional work as needed across the company.
