General Counsel

• Own commercial contracting. Draft, review, redline, negotiate, and close client, agency, and customized agreements, including MSAs, SOWs, order forms that focus on Saas and digital-credit and usage-based arrangements, NDAs, and amendments.
• Lead client-side legal negotiations with speed.

Provide business stakeholders with concise status updates, clearly framed risks, and the specific decisions needed to close.
• Manage vendor and consulting agreements. Review and negotiate inbound SaaS, technology, data, professional-services, contractor, and consulting agreements, balancing operational needs, speed, cost, and risk.
• Apply commercially calibrated risk judgment. Negotiate and provide practical guidance on liability caps, indemnities, warranties, intellectual property and content rights, confidentiality, data use, security, privacy, insurance, payment, termination, and dispute provisions. Understand which protections are essential, where Statusphere can responsibly accept risk, and when an issue requires executive or outside-counsel escalation.
• Own website and product legal content. Maintain and periodically update website Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, cookie and consent language, and other customer- or user-facing legal notices in coordination with Product, Marketing, Security, and outside specialists.
• Own Creator-Statusphere and Brand-Creator Agreements. Signed for each campaign and brands may have specific versions of this to deploy which must be monitored and auditable.
• Provide operational legal guidance. Answer day-to-day questions involving payments, contracting authority, creator relationships, content and usage rights, compliance, business processes, and other legal issues arising across the company.
• Build scalable legal operations. Create and maintain templates, clause libraries, negotiation playbooks, approval thresholds, fallback positions, intake processes, signature workflows, and a contract repository that improve speed and consistency.
• Advise executives and manage escalation. Present the COO/CFO and other C-level leaders with a concise assessment of the issue, business impact, likelihood and severity of risk, available options, and a clear recommended path. Prioritize matters by business impact and coordinate outside counsel for specialized, jurisdiction-specific, or high-risk matters.
• Partner cross-functionally and learn the business. Build a strong working understanding of Statusphere’s customers, creator ecosystem, products, revenue model, deal economics, and operating workflows. Work closely with Sales and other teams to remove deal blockers, support accurate handoffs, and ensure contractual commitments are understood, documented, and operationally achievable.
