Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Associate Commercial Counsel position sits at a point where SaaS contracting, enterprise procurement, and emerging AI product categories intersect. Harvey’s description points to a company with established global customer reach and an enterprise platform focus, which typically brings complex deal structures, security and compliance scrutiny, and a high volume of negotiated terms. For a legal professional, that combination is a practical window into how modern SaaS products are commercialised and governed in real customer environments.
From a SaaS career perspective, the role builds fluency in the agreements that underpin recurring revenue businesses, including subscription constructs, IP and licensing, and risk allocation across sales cycles. Working closely with a go-to-market organisation also tends to sharpen judgment around deal velocity, escalation paths, and standardisation, all of which are transferable across B2B software companies. Exposure to AI-related contracting adds relevance as more SaaS vendors incorporate model-driven features into core offerings.
This role fits counsel who prefer being embedded with commercial stakeholders and enjoy shaping repeatable contracting patterns rather than handling one-off matters. It also suits someone earlier in an in-house trajectory who wants breadth across issues as they arise, while still anchoring on core SaaS transactional work in a hybrid office setting.

Job Description
Why Harvey
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week.
