Senior Counsel - Sunnyvale - Elementum AI
Description
Location: United States - San Francisco (3x a week in-office)
Who Is Elementum?
Elementum is the innovative startup that's using AI Driven Workflows so that businesses can operate faster, smarter, and cheaper. Elementum's unique IP allows its platform to run natively inside its customers' own data clouds, enabling instant automation without any integrations or APIs. It's also fully pre-integrated with all of the leading public and private AI/ML/LLMs, making it the only choice for secure, AI-driven automation.
Elementum's AI-native enterprise platform integrates into the largest and most complex organizations in the world. Industry leaders like Sanofi, Under Armour, and Snowflake are using AI Driven Workflows to transform their operations to increase productivity, delight customers, and capture market share.
What is the Senior Legal Counsel role at Elementum?
Elementum is hiring our first in-house Senior Counsel. Reporting directly to the COO and working in coordination with our external General Counsel, you will take ownership of the legal function to increase deal velocity, open new business opportunities, and accelerate IP development.
This is not an advisory role for a lawyer who prefers to mark up documents in isolation. We need a commercial operator who is comfortable joining sales calls to negotiate multi-million-dollar contracts directly with customer leadership, navigating complex IP strategy with engineering, and operating as a "10x lawyer" by leveraging the latest AI tools.
