Job Description

Are you ready for the best destination of your career?

Spotnana is modernizing the infrastructure of the $1.4 trillion travel industry in order to bring freedom, simplicity, and trust to travelers everywhere. With over $115M in funding from top tier investors, including ICONIQ and Madrona Venture Group, we are tackling the hardest problems the travel industry has to offer and we need your help.

Culture is always fluid. It evolves as a business grows, along with the people who drive it forward. We seek people who have different perspectives, but shared values. Before you embark on this journey, quickly check in on whether you are aligned with our company values:

  1.  Obsessed with Customer Needs: We earn the trust and loyalty of our customers by solving their problems.
  2.  Do the Impossible: We solve tough problems through innovation and are inspired by unprecedented challenges.
  3.  Build Globally, Serve Locally: We embrace a global mindset and celebrate diversity as we serve customers around the world.
  4.  Act Like Owners: We constantly find problems to solve. Decisions are not made in isolation. We work hard, work smart, and work together.
  5.  Constantly Change, Learn & Evolve: We flourish by adapting quickly to new challenges and by learning from everyone around us. Building something new is not always glamorous work. Roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, and evolve.
  6.  Respect Above All: We are humble and treat others with the same respect we desire for ourselves. Our work culture is a safe environment where everyone is open to feedback and new ideas.

What you’ll do

  • Assist in setting Spotnana’s overall legal strategy and managing day-to-day responsibilities of the company’s legal function (including outside counsel) 
  • Negotiate, or supervise the negotiation of, technology-related commercial agreements (license agreements, NDAs, vendor contracts, data processing agreements, service level agreements, and partnership agreements, etc.)
  • Assist in building out and managing in-house legal team, which will own legal documents and operations across all functions
  • Assist in defining and implementing best practices around workflow and processes for the legal function, including through creation and maintenance of playbooks, contract templates, and/or self-help or other workflows
  • Offer guidance and serve as the escalation point on a wide variety of legal matters, including but not limited to contract law, state/federal compliance issues, data/privacy regulations, intellectual property, and other HR, employment, or corporate matters
  • Identify legal/compliance risks for the company, and develop strategies to mitigate the same, including but not limited to designing and implementing company policies and procedures and staff training
  • Keep current on relevant industry standards, law, and regulations, including data privacy laws
  • Assist in developing relationships with outside counsel, and developing legal spend budgets
  • Work closely with teams across product, finance, data, marketing and customer support to ensure contractual terms align with company objectives and priorities
  • Provide legal and strategic support to support cross-functional projects

Experience to bring with you

  • Required Juris Doctorate (JD) Degree or equivalent, plus 4 years of experience in similar duties involving technology startups with an emphasis on negotiating technology related agreements (licensing, NDAs, vendor, data processing, service level and partnership), compliance issues, data/privacy regulations, intellectual property, and employment matters. Must be admitted to California State Bar.

Please email resume/cover letter to Spotnana Technology, Inc., to S. Pastore at [email protected].

The salary for this position is $277,659/year.

We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive environment and to encourage these values in everyone on our team. We provide an environment of mutual respect where opportunities are available without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy (including childbirth, lactation and related medical conditions), national origin, age, physical and mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information (including characteristics and testing), military and veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
