About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Commercial Contracts Legal Associate to join our dynamic and fast-paced team. This role presents an exciting opportunity to thrive in a rapidly growing environment with abundant prospects for career advancement. The ideal candidate will be responsible for drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts, requiring a solid understanding of contract law, excellent negotiation skills, and the ability to work closely with various departments to ensure contractual obligations are met and risks are minimized.

  • Negotiation of Contracts: Negotiate the commercial terms and conditions with Sezzle's clients and partners and ensure proper finalization for signatures.
  • Legal Compliance: Ensure that all contracts comply with applicable laws, regulations, and company policies. Provide guidance on legal issues related to contracts and advise on potential risks.
  • Contract Management: Maintain and manage the contract database, ensuring that all contracts are up-to-date, properly filed, and easily accessible. Monitor key contract milestones and renewal dates.
  • Risk Assessment: Identify and assess potential risks in contract terms and conditions, and propose appropriate mitigation strategies. Work closely with the Risk Management team to align on risk tolerance and management.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with internal departments, including Sales, Finance, Procurement, and Operations, to ensure that contract terms meet business needs and objectives.
  • Dispute Resolution: Assist in resolving any disputes that may arise from contractual agreements, working closely with external counsel if necessary.
  • Legal Research: Conduct legal research on issues related to contracts and provide actionable insights to support decision-making.
  • Training and Development: Provide training to internal stakeholders on contract-related matters, including best practices in contract management and negotiation techniques.
Requirements
  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school
  • 2-4 years of experience in commercial contract law, majority of experience in a corporate or in-house legal environment.
  • Certification in contract management is a plus.
  • Strong understanding of contract law
  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • High attention to detail and strong analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Experience in the fintech or e-commerce industry is a plus.
About You
  • You have relentlessly high standards: many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results.
  • You're not bound by convention: your success—and much of the fun—lies in developing new ways to do things.
  • You need action: speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.
  • You earn trust: you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
  • You have backbone; disagree, then commit: you can respectfully challenge decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. You have conviction and are tenacious. You do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, you commit wholly.
  • You deliver results: you focus on the key inputs and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, you rise to the occasion and never settle.
