Cyera is seeking a Procurement Counsel to lead the company's vendor and procurement contract function end-to-end. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of legal, technology, and business, reporting to the Senior Director of Legal.
You will handle a high volume of vendor agreements independently and build institutional processes and playbooks that scale with Cyera's growth. Key responsibilities include designing and continuously improving end-to-end procurement and vendor lifecycle processes, drafting and negotiating a broad range of global vendor agreements (SaaS, cloud services, software licensing, professional services, consulting, strategic outsourcing), and balancing legal risk with business objectives while managing security, privacy, AI, and regulatory compliance risks.
You will develop scalable contracting frameworks, templates, approval workflows, and governance structures to support rapid global growth while maintaining consistency and appropriate risk controls. Using data-driven metrics, you'll identify process bottlenecks and optimize contract cycle times through continuous improvement initiatives.
Cross-functional partnership is central to the role. You will work closely with Finance, Procurement, Security, IT, and other business stakeholders to deliver pragmatic legal guidance, streamline vendor onboarding, and align contracting with business priorities. You'll triage inbound contract requests and escalate complex, adversarial, or cross-border matters to outside counsel as appropriate.
A key focus is reducing Cyera's reliance on outside counsel by absorbing routine work in-house and leveraging AI-powered tools to accelerate contract review, playbook development, and first-pass redlining. You'll stay current on emerging legal technology and identify opportunities to integrate AI into Cyera's legal workflows, reducing cycle times and freeing capacity for higher-judgment work.
