AnySignal is building next-generation RF products and services for space and defense missions. You'll join the legal team as Associate General Counsel, owning commercial contracting end-to-end while supporting broader legal functions at an early-stage, venture-backed company.
You will own the commercial contracting function, drafting, negotiating, and closing customer agreements, MSAs, statements of work, supply and vendor agreements, T&Cs, NDAs, subcontracts, and teaming arrangements. You'll negotiate directly with customers, primes, and suppliers, serving as the business's primary legal partner in deal cycles. You'll build the contracting infrastructure—templates, playbooks, approval thresholds, and a contract lifecycle system—that enables the company to scale and maintain visibility into its obligations.
Beyond commercial work, you'll advise on California employment and workplace matters in partnership with the People team, support corporate work including equity administration and board records, and support compliance across export control, government contracting flow-downs, and data and security obligations. You'll take recurring legal work currently handled by the General Counsel and systematize it into repeatable processes.
This is a broad role at a company where the legal function covers everything from employment questions and corporate governance to IP, compliance, and novel problems. You'll have real ownership and the opportunity to build processes and playbooks that scale the function.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 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 (mix of law firm and in-house experience ideal, but strong candidates from either background considered)
- Demonstrated ability to run a negotiation independently and give clear answers under time pressure
- Working knowledge of California employment law, or the appetite and ability to acquire it quickly
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward unblocking the business rather than cataloging risk
- Ability to work onsite in Torrance, CA
- U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain necessary authorizations from U.S. Department of State (ITAR compliance)
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience at a hardware, manufacturing, aerospace, or defense-adjacent company
- Familiarity with FAR and DFARS flow-downs, ITAR, EAR, or CMMC
- Experience supporting a venture-backed company through financing rounds
- Experience standing up a legal or contracts function at an early-stage company
- Comfort with technical subject matter and engineering counterparts
