Andromeda Commercial Counsel at Andromeda responsible for negotiating revenue-critical commercial agreements and building the legal function with modern AI-enabled tools. This role involves ownership of complex deals and supporting corporate governance, compliance, and fundraising activities.

Responsibilities

We're hiring our second lawyer — and the first member of the legal team to report to our General Counsel. This is a rare seat for a top-firm associate, or a lawyer with early in-house experience, ready to take on real ownership from day one. You'll negotiate revenue-critical deals from the start, develop judgment across the full range of an in-house legal function, and work closely with the GC on the matters that move the business.
Just as important, we are building the legal function for a new era of law. We adopt modern tools aggressively, and we build our own where they don't yet exist. We expect this role to help lead that effort. You don't need to be an expert in AI today, but you should be curious about it and excited to work in an AI-native environment.
This role is ideal for someone energized by a fast-moving environment, drawn to building, and motivated to help the business grow.
Own Commercial Work
● Draft, negotiate, and help close the revenue-critical commercial agreements at the center of our business
● Take ownership of complex, non-standard deals with demanding requirements and meaningful stakes
● Work through key commercial terms and balance sound protection with the pace required by the business
Build the Function
● Help evolve our templates, playbooks, and risk frameworks as the business model continues to develop
● Help build and refine the modern, AI-enabled legal tooling that lets a small team operate at scale — central to how we work
● Help design and operate the lightweight approval workflows and judgment frameworks appropriate for a high-velocity company
● Learn to use outside counsel surgically while owning the core work in-house
