About the role

Clause Inc. is seeking a licensed attorney with 5+ years in commercial contracts to own our standard-terms corpus and related vendor documentation. You will draft, review, and update agreements, ensuring clarity for both business and legal readers. You will define market norms, maintain the corpus across contract types, and flag product disagreements with precise, non-legal language. The role moves quickly and includes direct feedback loops with the founding team.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
