Requirements
• Qualified solicitor in England and Wales (or equivalent) with 4 to 6 years PQE. • Trained at a top-tier City or international firm. • Demonstrable track record leading commercial contract negotiations end to end. • Strong technical drafting skills and a structured approach to playbooks and standard forms. • Experience in a technology company, ideally B2B hardware or infrastructure. • Exposure to semiconductor, manufacturing, or deep-tech industries. • Familiarity with enterprise or cloud customer contracting. • Understanding of IP licensing, export controls, and data protection as they arise in commercial contracts. • Experience implementing or selecting CLM or legal AI tooling (Ironclad, Harvey, Spellbook, Robin, Eve, etc.). • Light coding or low-code fluency (Python, SQL, Zapier, n8n, or similar) for building internal workflows.
Responsibilities
• Lead drafting, review, and negotiation of commercial contracts across customers, suppliers, partners, and resellers. • Own the contracting lifecycle from intake and triage through to execution and post-signature management. • Build and maintain playbooks, standard terms, fallback positions, and templates for use by the business. • Design and build scalable legal workflows, using AI tooling and automation to drive down cycle times, reduce manual review, and let the legal function scale faster than headcount. • Integrate AI into day-to-day contracting: triage, first-pass review, redline generation, clause extraction, precedent search, and playbook enforcement. • Set OLIX's position on key commercial terms including liability caps, indemnities, IP ownership and licensing, data protection, warranties, termination, and service levels. • Partner closely with Sales, Procurement, Operations, and Engineering to understand deal context and reach commercially sensible outcomes. • Advise on day-to-day commercial legal questions from across the business. • Manage external counsel for specialist workstreams. • Contribute to legal tooling selection, CLM implementation, and internal enablement • Bias toward building scalable systems over doing work manually. You look for the automation, template, or workflow that solves the problem ten times, not just once. • Commercially pragmatic, able to move at pace, and comfortable owning positions without constant supervision. • Direct, plain-language communicator.
