What they need
- We’re building the legal team at AnySignal. You’ll partner directly with our General Counsel and own commercial contracting end to end, from customer and vendor agreements through subcontracts and teaming arrangements
- This is a broad seat. You’ll spend most of your time on commercial work, but at a company our size the legal function covers everything: employment questions, corporate governance, IP, compliance, and the occasional problem nobody has seen before
- You’ll take real ownership of the contracting function and build the process, templates, and playbooks that let it scale past you
- Own commercial contracting. Draft, negotiate, and close customer agreements, MSAs, statements of work, supply and vendor agreements, T&Cs, NDAs, subcontracts, and teaming agreements
- Negotiate directly with customers, primes, and suppliers, and serve as the business’s primary legal partner in deal cycles
- Build the contracting infrastructure: templates, playbooks, approval thresholds, and a contract lifecycle system that gives the company visibility into its obligations
- Advise on California employment and workplace matters in partnership with the People team
- Support corporate work including equity administration, board and entity records, and financing diligence
- Support compliance across export control, government contracting flow-downs, and data and security obligations
- Take the recurring legal work that currently sits with the General Counsel and make it a repeatable process- We don’t need you to have worked in a fast moving defense start-up (although it wouldn’t hurt!) We need you to be a strong commercial lawyer who is comfortable making decisions without a committee, and who can pick up a new regulatory regime quickly and own their decisions
- J.D. and active membership in the California State Bar, or registration as California Registered In-House Counsel with a clear path to California admission
- Ability to work onsite in Torrance, CA
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward unblocking the business rather than cataloging risk
- 2+ years of practice, with meaningful time spent drafting and negotiating commercial agreements. A mix of law firm and in-house experience is ideal, but strong candidates from either background will be considered
- Working knowledge of California employment law, or the appetite and ability to get there quickly
- Demonstrated ability to run a negotiation independently and give a clear answer under time pressure
- To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
- Experience at a hardware, manufacturing, aerospace, or defense-adjacent company
- Familiarity with FAR and DFARS flow-downs, ITAR, EAR, or CMMC
- Experience supporting a venture-backed company through financing rounds
- Experience standing up a legal or contracts function at an early-stage company
- Comfort with technical subject matter and engineering counterparts
