Bobyard is automating construction takeoffs and estimates using computer vision and NLP, enabling contractors to bid faster and win more work. The company raised a $35M Series A led by 8VC and is scaling rapidly.
You will be Bobyard's first legal hire, serving as the central point person for all legal matters. Currently, legal work is distributed across the leadership team and five outside law firms; your role is to consolidate and professionalize this function.
Key responsibilities:
- Serve as the single point of contact for all legal requests: triage, route, and track matters to closure
- Negotiate and redline customer agreements (MSAs, order forms, DPAs, NDAs) within established playbooks; escalate complex matters to outside counsel as needed
- Manage relationships with outside counsel, scope work, and track legal spend
- Maintain current, version-controlled contract templates as pricing and processes evolve
- Partner with Product to ensure terms of service, privacy policy, and in-product terms remain accurate
- Analyze contract terms for data-privacy, security, and commercial risk; provide leadership with clear recommendations
- Build scalable legal systems including intake processes, clause playbooks, and contract management workflows
Success metrics: Sales teams never wait on legal approvals, and every legal matter has a single owner with clear next steps.
Requirements:
- 0–3 years of experience in legal operations, commercial contracts, or transactional legal practice
- Hands-on experience redlining or negotiating contracts (not just observing)
- Ability to make decisions with incomplete information and sound judgment on when to escalate
- Capacity to respectfully decline requests from salespeople or opposing counsel while maintaining relationships
- Strong written communication and ability to manage multiple concurrent matters
Nice to have:
- Juris Doctor (JD) degree
- California bar admission
- Experience with SaaS agreements, Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), or privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA); CIPP/US certification is a plus
- Familiarity with Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tools
- Prior startup experience or background at firms serving startups
