The Impact You'll Have
As ourSenior Commercial Counsel, North America, you will own customer-facing commercial contracting across the U.S. and Canada taking deals from inception to signature. You will be the legal partner our Sales, Account Management, and Customer Success teams turn to for fast, commercially minded, risk-balanced negotiation of Proof of Concept (POC) Agreements,

This is a hands-on, high-volume role for a senior commercial lawyer who is energized by closing deals, comfortable as the single point of accountability for a contract, and fluent in the data privacy and regulatory issues that come with selling identity, biometric, and fraud-prevention technology into highly regulated industries. You will work daily with business stakeholders and counterparties, and partner with our Privacy, InfoSec, and Product teams to land agreements that protect Incode while keeping deals moving. Beyond the deal table, you'll counsel Product and Engineering on recent products and features and go-to-market, keeping Incode's launches and customer commitments aligned.
