About this role

Morpho is hiring for a Commercial Counsel role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • Legally trained (qualified lawyer or equivalent law degree), with 5 to 8 years in commercial contracting, part of it in-house at a fast-growing technology company.
  • Has negotiated partnership, integration or licensing agreements alone, on both own and counterparty paper. US-style commercial drafting is essential.
  • Has built legal operations in practice (contract lifecycle tooling, playbooks, intake, reporting), not only used them.
  • Builds with AI tools: writes prompts and skills, automates document workflows, and knows where review by a lawyer is still required.
  • Comfortable working with Finance on payment mechanics, milestones and budgets, and with a CRM as the source of truth.
  • Able to hold a position with a deal team under time pressure.
  • Clear, concise communication with non-lawyers.
  • Strong ownership and autonomy at startup pace with limited support: doesn't wait to be told.
