Worldly is building the infrastructure that powers trust, transparency, and scale across global supply chains. As we grow rapidly—working with some of the world’s most sophisticated enterprises—our legal function must operate with both precision and strategic judgment.
This role is a cornerstone hire: a sharp, commercially minded corporate lawyer who thrives in fast-moving environments and wants real ownership, visibility, and long-term growth.
We are seeking a Senior Corporate Counsel to partner closely with our senior leadership team to manage and negotiate a high volume of complex, global commercial and corporate agreements.
This is not a back-office role. You will sit at the intersection of finance, strategy, and execution—negotiating directly with the legal teams of major global enterprises, overseeing external counsel, and supporting corporate development initiatives, including acquisitions and integrations.
The role offers a significant runway for expansion into areas such as IP, data governance, and broader enterprise risk as Worldly scales.
Commercial & Corporate Transactions
Lead drafting, review, and negotiation of a wide range of commercial and corporate agreements, including customer, vendor, partnership, and strategic transactions.
Serve as the primary legal partner to the CFO, ensuring contracts align with revenue recognition, billing, risk allocation, and operational realities.
Independently negotiate against sophisticated counterparties, including Fortune 500 companies and global luxury and consumer brands.
Strategic & Corporate Support
Support global M&A activity, including due diligence, transaction execution, and post-acquisition integration.
Advise the CFO and executive team on legal risk, deal structure, and strategic tradeoffs in high-stakes negotiations.
Develop pragmatic, business-forward solutions that balance legal rigor with speed and growth.
External Counsel Management
Manage and coordinate outsourced legal counsel, including international firms and specialized advisors.
Ensure high-quality, cost-effective legal support across jurisdictions.
Build scalable processes for contract review, escalation, and risk management.
Building for Scale
Help design and improve contract templates, playbooks, and internal processes to support rapid growth.
Over time, expand coverage into adjacent areas such as intellectual property, data protection, and regulatory matters, in partnership with external experts.
We are looking for someone who is intellectually sharp, commercially savvy, and eager to take on real responsibility early. You likely bring:
A J.D. from a highly regarded law school.
4-8 years of total legal experience, including:
2+ years at a top-tier law firm (e.g., Am Law 20–30 or equivalent), ideally with exposure to high-stakes corporate or commercial work.
2+ years of in-house experience at a fast-growing technology or global company, with direct ownership of complex agreements.
Demonstrated ability to negotiate confidently with senior legal and business stakeholders.
Strong judgment and political acumen—you understand how decisions land across finance, sales, product, and leadership.
Experience managing external counsel and navigating cross-border or multi-jurisdictional matters.
A bias toward action, ownership, and continuous learning.
Direct executive exposure: You will report to the CFO and work closely with senior leadership.
Real leverage: Your work will directly impact revenue, risk, and strategic growth.
Growth trajectory: Clear runway to expand into IP, data, and broader legal leadership as the company scales.
High bar, high trust: We are looking for someone we can rely on—not someone to manage tightly.
