The Opportunity

Superhuman’s Commercial Legal team is seeking a Commercial Counsel, Procurement to support companywide procurement, vendor, and other non-revenue commercial legal matters. This role will focus primarily on vendor-side agreements and procurement legal support, while partnering closely with Finance, Engineering, Marketing, Privacy, Security, and Legal Operations.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety of procurement work: SaaS and technology agreements, consulting arrangements, marketing and influencer agreements, privacy and security terms, and other third-party vendor relationships that help the business operate effectively. While this role sits within Commercial Legal, it is procurement-focused rather than revenue-focused. The majority of your work will involve vendor-side and other non-revenue commercial agreements.

You’ll also help build a more scalable, thoughtful procurement legal function by contributing to clearer processes, practical templates, and self-serve resources that make legal review easier and more consistent across Superhuman. If you enjoy both advising on commercial legal matters and improving the systems designed to deliver legal advice, this role offers a meaningful opportunity to have an impact on both.

In this role you will:

• Review, draft, and negotiate a range of commercial procurement agreements, including licensing agreements, SaaS agreements, consulting arrangements, influencer agreements and supporting agreements such as BAAs, DPAs, and NDAs.

• Serve as the primary day-to-day legal owner for procurement matters, with support from the broader Legal team, and exercise practical judgment on when to resolve issues independently and when to escalate.

• Partner with Finance, Engineering, Marketing, Privacy, Security, and other cross-functional stakeholders on vendor onboarding, third-party diligence, contract risk, commercial terms, and procurement-related disputes.

• Identify opportunities to standardize, streamline, and scale legal review processes by developing repeatable workflows, templates, playbooks, and guidance that help drive faster, more consistent contract outcomes across the organization.

• Partner closely with Legal Operations to improve procurement intake, triage, automation, and self-serve resources so routine matters can move quickly and higher-risk matters receive the right level of legal review.

• Help evaluate and remediate legacy vendor agreements, including identifying contracts that need updates, renegotiation, better tracking, or improved internal guidance.

Qualifications

• Has 2-3 years of legal experience, with meaningful exposure to commercial contracts .

• Holds a J.D. from an accredited law school and is a member in good standing of at least one state bar.

• Brings genuine interest in building scalable legal review processes.

• Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making

• Communicates complex legal concepts clearly and concisely to non-legal partners, adapting their style to the audience.

• Has prior in-house legal experience or alternatively a familiarity with the rhythms, priorities, and constraints of an in-house legal team.

• Has a demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance, proactively manages tasks and priorities across multiple projects, analyzes and executes work efficiently, collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams, and thrives in fast-paced, results-driven environments.
