The Director, Commercial Transactions Counsel is part of the legal team supporting Halozyme's business and is part of a collaborative team of lawyers that negotiate and draft agreements alongside their business peers. In this role, you review, negotiate and prepare agreements and other documents for commercial transactions and support a pharmaceutical products sales force, including sales, distribution, advertising, promotional, manufacturing, CDMO, communications, market access, services, vendor/supply chain and SaaS transactions.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Support the legal team members in the execution of strategies and tactics required to achieve Halozyme business goals.
  • Support business and pharmaceutical sales legal needs, including negotiating, drafting and reviewing complex commercial contracts such as services agreements, supply agreements, product purchase agreements, marketing, sales and distribution agreements, vendor agreements, term sheets and statements of work.
  • Advise business colleagues on interactions with key supply chain and other commercial relationships, including advising on actual or potential disputes.
  • Manage external transactional counsel supporting the business needs.
  • Interface as needed with other functions and business teams.

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

  • J.D. degree or LL.M. degree from an ABA accredited law school, and admission to practice law in a jurisdiction in the U.S. with a minimum of 5 years of direct legal experience supporting business-to-business manufacturing, supply and product sales operations, including negotiating and drafting complex commercial agreements.
  • Experience and leadership in working alongside business colleagues and providing real-time guidance and advice on commercial transactions.
  • Knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework for pharmaceuticals in the United States is preferred.
  • Experience in supporting commercial pharmaceutical products and/or clinical trial programs and negotiating and drafting agreements for such business operations is also preferred.
  • Strong written and oral communication, as well as requisite interpersonal skills to work in a highly functioning, collaborative environment.
  • Excellent analytical and drafting skills.

In return, we offer you:

  • Full and comprehensive benefit program, including an Employee Stock Purchase Program and 401(k) matching.
  • Opportunities to grow in a culture that prioritizes learning, development and progression through in-house programs and tuition reimbursement.
  • A collaborative, innovative team that works as one to amplify your impact-on your career, the work you do and patients' lives.
