What You’ll Be Doing: Commercial Contracts Ownership -Independently draft, review, and negotiate a range of commercial agreements, including procurement contracts, integration partner agreements, enterprise customer agreements, influencer/endorsement agreements, SaaS subscriptions, MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, and DPAs -Make risk-calibrated decisions on commercial terms with minimal escalation, exercising sound judgment on when to accept, push back on, or escalate contractual risk -Develop and maintain negotiation playbooks with clearly defined fallback positions, risk thresholds, and approved alternative language -Leverage creative deal structures and negotiation strategies that reflect HighLevel's approach to doing things differently while managing risk appropriately Cross-Departmental Collaboration -Cybersecurity: Consult closely with the Cybersecurity team on vendor security assessments and HighLevel's ability to agree to customers' ...
