Snapdocs is a rapidly growing company that is disrupting the residential mortgage market, bringing scalable and sophisticated software to a pillar of the US economy that still relies on fax machines and manila envelopes.

Our products rely on carefully designed workflows, AI-based automations, and empathetic user experiences to deliver best-in-class customer experiences. We are backed by investors like Sequoia, Y Combinator, and F-Prime. 

We are an innovative team. As we expand our product offering to serve more customers in more ways, we need to grow our team with smart, hungry, and curious people. That’s where you come in…

Our Assistant General Counsel will help (i) lead our commercial contracting function and work directly with our customer, partner and vendor-facing teams to review, negotiate, draft and manage complex commercial agreements and related tools and processes and (ii) advise product, engineering, operations, and marketing teams on meeting strategic objectives while complying with laws, regulations, best practices, and customer requirements.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for sales, business development and other internal Snapdocs teams in commercial contracting matters.  
  • Draft, review and negotiate a wide variety of commercial agreements with a primary focus on SaaS agreements, our purchase of software and services agreements, NDAs and co-marketing, alliance and technical integration agreements
  • Support our sales and customer success teams in negotiating contracts with customers from start to finish and provide tactical advice to help close deals quickly and efficiently
  • Build and support the product and privacy counseling function within the legal team, including processes and operations. Design, implement, and iterate on policies, processes, and procedures to improve the legal team’s engagement model with the product and engineering organizations.
  • Work closely with Snapdoc’s information and security team on shared goals and objectives. Support the Go-to-Market Product teams in escalated customer questions related to privacy and help enable the commercial legal function with up-to-date templates and strategies as it relates to privacy.
  • Remain current on applicable laws and regulations surrounding contract law, IP, privacy, and security and conduct periodic employee trainings on any or all of the above
  • It will be important for this person to develop strong relationships with our internal Sales and Customer Success as well as our internal Engineering and Products teams.  We are also looking for someone who will represent Snapdocs well in front-line customer and vendor negotiations and discussions.

  • Ability to work with diverse teams through complex negotiations, clearly communicating divisions of responsibility, deliverables, and timelines to relevant stakeholders

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
