About this role
About the Role
Factory is looking for a US Commercial Attorney to join our growing Legal team, reporting directly to the General Counsel. In this role, you will focus heavily on Enterprise (US) deals and high-velocity contract work, serving as a critical bridge between our commercial goals and risk management.
This is a high-impact role requiring a pragmatic, growth-oriented lawyer who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You will partner directly with Sales, Operations, Engineering, and senior leadership to protect the company while accelerating our deal velocity.
What you will do and achieve
Drive Enterprise Deals: Manage a high-volume commercial workflow, redlining and negotiating key legal documents including Licensing, B2B SaaS agreements, MSAs, and NDAs.
Close with Velocity: Engage directly with enterprise-level opposing counsel, ensuring swift, fair, and strategic deal closures.
Balance Risk & Reward: Provide crucial legal guidance to technical and operational teams, translating complex legal frameworks into actionable, business-first advice.
Scale Legal Infrastructure: Partner with the General Counsel to build and refine Factory’s internal legal playbooks, contract templates, and negotiation guardrails to support our rapid post-Series C scale.
Qualifications
Experience: 7+ years of experience drafting and negotiating commercial contracts (including at least 2 years in-house); OR 10+ years of experience at a major law firm looking for your first foundational in-house opportunity.
Domain Expertise: Proven track record handling high-velocity B2B SaaS, enterprise software licensing, and inbound/outbound tech transactions.
Credentials: J.D. from an accredited law school and active membership in good standing with any US state bar, provided you are eligible to register as In-House Counsel in New York.
Mindset: A "roll up your sleeves" attitude with the ability to navigate ambiguity, prioritize a heavy workload, and thrive in a lean, fast-growing tech environment.
Communication: Exceptional communication and storytelling ability—you can parlay complex national and international requirements into clear narratives for non-lawyers.
Nice to have:
Federal Contracting: Experience navigating government procurement, defense/civilian agency contracts, or FAR/DFARS compliance.
US Privacy Law: Strong working knowledge of US privacy regulations (CCPA/CPRA, etc.) and data security frameworks as they relate to AI and cloud infrastructure.
Location: New York (5 days a week in office); we are willing to consider remote setups strictly on the Eastern Time Zone for exceptional candidates.
