Associate General Counsel, Commercial Contracts

Company

AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. Were building a flexible high-performance platform thats easy to deploy monitor and scale enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.

The Role

Were building the legal team at AnySignal. Youll partner directly with our General Counsel and own commercial contracting end to end from customer and vendor agreements through subcontracts and teaming arrangements.

This is a broad seat. Youll spend most of your time on commercial work but at a company our size the legal function covers everything: employment questions corporate governance IP compliance and the occasional problem nobody has seen before. Youll take real ownership of the contracting function and build the process templates and playbooks that let it scale past you.

We dont need you to have worked in a fast moving defense start-up (although it wouldnt hurt!) We need you to be a strong commercial lawyer who is comfortable making decisions without a committee and who can pick up a new regulatory regime quickly and own their decisions.

What Youll Do

• Own commercial contracting. Draft negotiate and close customer agreements MSAs statements of work supply and vendor agreements T&Cs NDAs subcontracts and teaming agreements.

• Negotiate directly with customers primes and suppliers and serve as the businesss primary legal partner in deal cycles.

• Support corporate work including equity administration board and entity records and financing diligence.

What Were Looking For

• J.D. and active membership in the California State Bar or registration as California Registered In-House Counsel with a clear path to California admission.

• 2 years of practice with meaningful time spent drafting and negotiating commercial agreements. A mix of law firm and in-house experience is ideal but strong candidates from either background will be considered.

• Demonstrated ability to run a negotiation independently and give a clear answer under time pressure.

• Working knowledge of California employment law or the appetite and ability to get there quickly.

• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward unblocking the business rather than cataloging risk.

• Ability to work onsite in Torrance CA.
