ScorePlay signs deals with some of the biggest organizations in sports and every one of them starts with a contract. We are hiring a Commercial Contracts Counsel to own that: redlines negotiations signatures the whole thing. You work directly with Lou our General Counsel and are the first point of contact for Sales on contracts.

1. Contracts

• You review redline and negotiate the agreements that close our deals: MSAs service agreements order forms SOWs NDAs and DPAs with clubs leagues federations broadcasters and brands often across several countries.

• Sales comes to you when a deal is stuck on terms and your job is to unstick it: fast turnaround pragmatic fallbacks and the judgement to know when a point is worth holding.

• You partner with Sales Finance RevOps and Customer Success so contract terms match how the deal is actually priced booked and delivered.

• You take a share of vendor and partner agreements alongside Lou split based on what is moving and where you want to build depth.

2. Tools processes and enablement

• We use AI heavily in contract work: drafting first-pass reviews summarizing counterparty terms. We want someone who genuinely enjoys this and keeps looking for a smarter way to handle the repetitive part.

• Our legal playbook is young. You execute it then you help Lou refine it with what you see in real negotiations.

3. Privacy and security

• You contribute to customer security privacy and vendor due-diligence questionnaires and to DPA and international transfer questions. The heart of the role is contracts with room to grow into broader compliance work if that interests you.

• You know commercial contracts inside out. 3 to 5 years of experience most of it in-house with contracts at the core of what you did.

• You work autonomously. Give you an MSA or a set of customer redlines and you come back with a position a fallback and a recommendation.

• You ship fast. A solid answer today beats a perfect one on Friday and youre comfortable making the call at 80% certainty.

• Youre resourceful. When something is unclear you dig you ask you find a way rather than waiting for perfect instructions.

• You like helping people win. Supporting a Sales team means being responsive available and genuinely happy when a deal signs because of your work.

• As our first commercial counsel you own your function and youre the main partner of the Sales team on both sides of the Atlantic.

• You sit in sales calls with senior stakeholders at major sports organizations on deals worth USD 50k to 500k a year. When a deal closes youre usually one of the key players who made it work.

• Small team short loops. Youll have the opportunity to bring ideas to the table build playbooks experiment with AI and new tools and learn a ton along the way.
