Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Senior Counsel, Corporate roles matter in SaaS because they sit at the intersection of product-led growth and public‑company-grade governance. In an AI marketing platform operating across channels like SMS, RCS, email, and push, legal decisions often touch data-driven commercialization, partner ecosystems, and the operational realities of serving a large customer base. This listing signals a company at a late-stage, scale-oriented point, where securities work and board processes become core infrastructure rather than occasional projects.
From a SaaS career perspective, the remit spans IPO readiness, SEC reporting, equity plan oversight, and transaction support—experience that translates across venture-backed software businesses as they move from private financing cycles to broader capital markets scrutiny. The scope also includes entity management for international expansion, which is a recurring theme in SaaS as go-to-market and operations globalize.
This role tends to fit counsel who prefer being embedded with executives and finance partners, balancing precision with pragmatic business judgment. It also suits professionals who want a corporate “center of gravity” position—owning repeatable governance systems while staying close to strategic events like fundraising and M&A.
