Reporting to the Manager, Senior Counsel - Commercial, the Legal Counsel, Commercial will support 1Password on a broad range of commercial matters. In this role, you'll work closely with our Go-to-Market (GTM) team to negotiate and close customer agreements, and you'll support procurement, partnership and product teams across the business. The work is varied and high-profile: you'll negotiate with some of the largest companies in the world, help launch new products and AI features, and support sports marketing partnerships with world-class sports teams. We're looking for a practical, deal-focused commercial lawyer who enjoys negotiating and wants to help drive the growth of a leading SaaS company.

How we’re using AI today On the Legal team, AI helps us move faster without sacrificing quality. We use it to draft and review commercial agreements, implement negotiation playbooks, and prepare the groundwork for legal review. AI also helps us stay on top of regulatory developments, synthesize research across jurisdictions, and identify risks in novel situations like new product launches or partnership structures. The result is a team that can operate at higher volume with greater consistency, while creating more time for the judgment calls, collaboration, and meaningful decisions that matter most.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What we're looking for:

A Juris Doctor or equivalent law degree, and membership in good standing with a Canadian provincial or US state bar

3 to 5 years of practice as a commercial transactional lawyer, gained at an established law firm with a strong commercial or technology practice, or as part of an in-house legal team at a mid-size or larger tech company

Experience supporting sales teams by drafting and negotiating customer agreements such as MSAs, Order Forms, DPAs, NDAs, and Statements of Work

Experience reviewing and negotiating procurement agreements across a range of vendor types, such as software, professional services, sponsorships, physical goods and hospitality

A working knowledge of privacy laws, including GDPR, and how they apply to customer and vendor agreements, especially DPAs

A strong interest in AI from two angles: the legal side (such as AI terms in contracts and emerging AI regulation) and the practical side, with a high level of comfort using AI tools in your day-to-day legal work

A track record of closing deals on tight timelines, including end-of-quarter pressure, while keeping risk under control

The ability to turn complex legal issues into clear, plain-language advice that sales, procurement and product teams can act on

A solutions-first approach: you bring workable options and fallback positions, not just a list of risks

A sales-focused mindset: you see Legal as a partner in closing deals and growing the business, and you're motivated to help get deals across the finish line

A genuine enjoyment of negotiating, with strong drafting skills and close attention to detail

Bonus points for:

Experience with contract lifecycle management and procurement tools, especially Ironclad and Zip

Deeper privacy experience with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA or other privacy laws, or a privacy certification (e.g., CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPP/C)

Experience negotiating partnership, reseller and distributor agreements
