In total we’ve raised over $330M in funding from top-tier investors, including NEA, Atlassian Ventures, WiL, PSP Growth, and existing investors such as Accel, Nvidia, Kleiner Perkins, GV and top founders and operators including Stripe, Datadog, Miro, Webflow, and Facebook.

About the Role

At Synthesia, we’re reimagining how video is created — and our Legal team is scaling to keep pace. We’re looking for a detail-oriented, commercially minded-legal professional to join our team and play a key role in supporting our global sales and business operations.

As a Contract Negotiator at Synthesia, you will help drive efficiency and consistency in our contract workflows — focusing primarily on high-volume sales agreements, such as MSAs, DPAs, Order Forms, NDAs, and routine contract amendments. You'll work closely with our Sales, Finance, and Operations teams to move deals forward while ensuring alignment with Synthesia’s contracting standards and risk positions.

What you’ll do:

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a high volume of MSAs, DPAs, Order Forms, NDAs, and similar commercial agreements with minimal supervision.
  • Support the Sales and Business Operations teams by ensuring contracts are clear, compliant, and promptly turned around.
  • Escalate complex or non-standard terms to legal counsel as needed, providing context and suggestions based on playbooks and precedent.
  • Maintain and update contract templates, clause libraries, and negotiation playbooks to reflect best practices and operational learnings.
  • Support the broader Legal team in improving contract workflows, processes, and tools (including CLM systems).
  • Help ensure consistency in language and risk posture across customer-facing agreements.

You’re a great fit if you have:

  • 5+ years of experience in a contract negotiator, paralegal, contract management, claim management, commercial legal ops, or legal support role — ideally in a SaaS or technology company.
  • Hands-on experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements like NDAs, Order Forms, MSAs and DPAs using playbooks and templates, particularly with enterprise customers in regulated industries across various geographies
  • Familiarity with legal concepts related to contract law, data privacy (GDPR/CCPA), intellectual property, artificial intelligence and SaaS licensing — with a strong desire to learn more. 
  • Excellent attention to detail, strong written communication, and the ability to manage a fast-paced, high-volume workload.
  • Strong collaboration skills and confidence working cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, and Legal teams.
  • A proactive mindset — you're comfortable with ambiguity and take initiative to solve problems before they escalate.

Bonus points if you:

  • Have experience using CLM tools (e.g. Ironclad, Conga, DocuSign CLM, Salesforce)
  • Are comfortable working in Google Workspace, Slack, and contract collaboration platforms (e.g., Microsoft Word track changes, PDF markup)
  • Have an interest in AI, synthetic media, or emerging technologies

Join us and help build a scalable legal function that empowers the business and keeps things moving — without sacrificing quality or compliance.
