YipitData is a unicorn-valued market research and analytics firm ($1B+ valuation, $475M Series funding from Carlyle Group) that analyzes billions of alternative data points to deliver strategic intelligence across software, AI, cloud, e-commerce, ridesharing, and payments sectors. The company serves top investment funds and Fortune 500 companies globally.
As Commercial Counsel, you will be a core member of YipitData's legal team, partnering directly with commercial teams to negotiate, execute, and close deals. This is a hands-on role with significant ownership and exposure to high-impact transactions.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and refine contract negotiation and drafting skills by guiding commercial teams through the full deal lifecycle—from initiating contracts and negotiating NDAs through closing
- Navigate novel legal problems and conceive innovative contracting frameworks in a rapidly evolving business environment
- Enhance legal processes and efficiency by building out the contract management platform and improving standard forms and procedures with commercial teams
- Facilitate contract reviews and collaborate on internal legal processes
- Evaluate and advise on appropriate legal strategies to meet company and business unit objectives
You will thrive in this role if you have 3–5 years of relevant legal experience (law firm associate or in-house counsel), a JD from a top law school, active New York bar membership, and strong expertise in drafting and negotiating business contracts. You should be detail-oriented, possess excellent cross-functional communication skills, and be motivated to work independently on new areas of responsibility. Market research or data product background is a plus.
This is a remote-friendly role available across the US, though the company headquarters is in NYC. Note that remote work performed in New York may be subject to state tax withholding.
