About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

  • Employ a business-centric mindset to independently identify creative solutions
  • Support procurement and requesting business teams on negotiation of vendor agreements
  • Work with various global partner teams on a wide range of special projects that require legal support
  • Create and maintain enablement materials such legal playbooks, FAQs, training, and self-service materials for the Sales team and other relevant cross-functional partners

What We're Looking For:

  • Admitted to the California Bar or eligible for Registered In-House Counsel exception and in good standing
  • 7+ years of combined experience practicing as a commercial attorney within a law firm or software technology company, including 3+ years in-house commercial legal experience at a software technology company
  • Ability to confidently and independently manage and negotiate SaaS agreements with a wide variety of customers
  • Strong understanding of cloud services and general SaaS business practices, and a willingness to dive into Notion's product offerings, operational processes, and security and privacy practices and policies in order to build a strong foundation for providing support across all relevant lines of business
  • Resilience, resourcefulness, the ability to directly interact and build meaningful relationships and trust with internal and external clients and leaders, and the ability to make recommendations and decisions with imperfect facts
  • Experience negotiating with technology and professional services vendors
  • Excellent drafting, written and verbal communication skills
