Commercial Counsel

Description:

As TRM’s Commercial Counsel, you’ll be the driving force behind the systems, agreements, and operations that power our global Go-To-Market (GTM) team. You’ll partner across TRM to structure and negotiate key commercial and vendor contracts — from customer agreements and SOWs to SaaS and data partnerships — ensuring speed, clarity, and compliance as we scale. You’ll also lead initiatives that enhance our Legal team’s use of AI tools, streamline review workflows, and reduce friction across the business.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role for a pragmatic, solution-oriented attorney who thrives in fast-moving environments and brings executive presence to every negotiation.

Come join our experienced, close-knit team, which recently was named a finalist for the prestigious Financial Times Innovative Lawyers (2025) awards!
