Description

Role details

Scale Up Counsel is recruiting for this function. The client’s name and org chart are not public here; they are shared in process with serious candidates.

We need a lawyer who can run complex customer situations in the field, not a back-room analyst. The job is post-sale-leaning: you make implementation stick, you surface product gaps with evidence, and you protect the company from overpromising.

Responsibilities

Map a customer’s real corporate, M&A, and adjacent advisory workflows, including where playbooks, approvals, and exceptions live; document what must change in product vs. in configuration.

Lead rollouts, training, and repeat visits until adoption is real, not a single kickoff.

Give product and engineering prioritized, reproducible examples when something breaks, with firm enough detail that they can file a useful ticket the first time.

Build and reuse playbooks and patterns; refuse one-off hero work when a pattern would serve the next customer.

Be calm and structured in client rooms and in writing; you are a lawyer in how you think, with delivery expectations that match a revenue-adjacent role.

Required

Substantive corporate, M&A, or closely related advisory experience in a firm or demanding in-house environment; you have been in the room for how deals and advisory streams actually work.

Track record in client-facing or implementation-heavy roles, not only internal memo work.

Clear written and spoken communication; you can chair a hard conversation with senior lawyers on the other side of the table.

Compensation

The full pay and equity picture is for people moving forward, not a range on this page.
