Corporate Counsel at SafetyCulture in Kansas City, MO

Why join us?

We're a global tech company, just not the kind you're picturing. Our almost 1,000-person team builds tools that make work better for the three billion frontline workers who keep the world moving. We've got big tech scale, without the sign-off layers or corporate theatre. Every permanent team member gets equity, so when we grow, you do too. This next chapter is about scaling smart, powered by AI, a clear vision and real ownership. Big tech impact, without the big tech ick.

The Role

As Corporate Counsel, you’ll be the primary legal partner for SafetyCulture’s US GTM teams. You’ll own commercial contract negotiation end-to-end, keep deals moving at pace, and bring commercially-minded legal thinking to a fast-scaling business.

You’ll work closely with our global Legal team across Sydney and the UK, and serve as a trusted embedded partner to Sales, Customer Success, and beyond.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end commercial contract negotiation for US enterprise and mid-market deals - MSAs, DPAs, SOWs, and NDAs, closing at pace without exposing the business to undue risk.
• Lead vendor procurement negotiations for internal tools used across the business.
• Build and maintain self-serve legal resources that reduce bottlenecks and empower the GTM team to handle routine negotiations independently.
• Advise on US regulatory and compliance requirements including CCPA and equivalent state-level data privacy frameworks as they apply to a SaaS business.
• Collaborate across time zones with the global Legal team in Sydney and the UK, contributing to global projects and ensuring consistency across jurisdictions.
• Identify patterns in legal risk across the GTM pipeline and proactively recommend improvements to templates, processes, and internal guidance.
• Provide ad hoc legal support to other business units, including SafetyCulture Care, as it scales in the US.

What you'll bring

• Proven track record negotiating and closing complex commercial agreements in a B2B SaaS environment, balancing legal rigour with deal velocity.
• Strong foundation in US contract law - commercial terms, liability, IP, data protection, and indemnification.
• Experience in both private practice and an in-house legal function - you bring the depth of a law firm background and the commercial pragmatism of embedded legal.
• Familiarity with US data privacy law, particularly CCPA and its amendments.
• Admitted to practise law in at least one US state.
• Comfortable working across multiple time zones and managing competing priorities across US and APAC business hours.
• Exposure to insurance-related legal matters is a plus, but not required.

How you'll work

• Commercially oriented with a bias for enabling deals, not blocking them - you earn trust with salespeople by giving clear, practical answers.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity - you can assess a novel legal question, identify the most pragmatic path forward, and give a clear recommendation.
• Self-directed and autonomous -you set your own priorities, know when to escalate, and operate effectively within a lean global team.
• Curious about the business - you actively seek to understand how SafetyCulture works so your advice is grounded in commercial reality, not just legal theory.
• Actively uses AI tools to increase throughput and reduce time on routine work - comfortable evaluating AI-generated legal output for accuracy and risk.
• Able to help the business understand where AI-assisted contract tooling can be safely leveraged, and where human review remains essential.
