What impact will you have as our Junior Legal Counsel?As Junior Legal Counsel, you will work closely with the General Counsel and Associate Legal Counsel, supporting a broad range of responsibilities from client and supplier negotiations to day-to-day legal operations, including maintaining contract records and managing key deadlines.
A core focus will be negotiating technology, data, and intellectual property contracts for Cutover and its partners. You will act as a trusted, cross-functional advisor, providing clear, tailored drafting and legal communications across all teams.
Furthermore, you will partner closely with go-to-market teams (including Sales, Partnerships, and Customer Success), delivering timely, practical advice and positioning the Legal function as a crucial deal enabler, not a blocker.

What we’d like you to bring to the table…
