Corporate Counsel – Commercial Contracts (In-House)

Mason, OH (Greater Cincinnati) | Full-Time | Arrangement to be confirmed

Two-plus years in and ready to trade billable hours for deal work with a business team? This in-house counsel role puts you at the center of customer and vendor negotiations for a national business-services company, with a benefits package built around employee ownership.

Protem Legal is working closely with a distinguished national business-services company’s in-house legal department to recruit a Corporate Counsel focused on commercial contracts.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Day-to-day commercial deal work, not just document review
• Direct partnership with business leaders on negotiations
• Mentorship from senior counsel and the deputy general counsel
• 401(k) with company match, profit sharing, and an employee stock ownership plan
• Medical plan options including a zero-cost plan, with premiums below the national average
• Company-paid disability, life, and AD&D insurance, plus PTO and holidays
• Training and career advancement opportunities

About the Role

You’ll draft, review, structure and negotiate commercial transactions day to day, working with customers, vendors and internal partners on terms and conditions for new and renewed contracts, bids and RFPs. Some training of business partners on contract terms and government compliance is part of the role.

What You’ll Do

• Draft, review, structure and negotiate commercial customer and vendor contracts
• Partner with business leaders on terms for new and renewed deals
• Respond to bids and requests for proposal with legal support
• Build familiarity with federal, state and local government-contract compliance
• Train partners on contract terms and government-compliance topics as needed

What We’re Looking For

• Juris Doctorate and admission to a state bar
• Minimum 2 years of full-time relevant legal experience
• Clear, effective verbal and written communication
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and intranet/internet tools
