2 weeks ago

Boston, United States Wayfair Full time

We are looking for a dynamic Commercial lawyer to support all aspects of our global business on highly collaborative, cross-functional commercial transactions of all shapes and sizes. Day-to-day, this includes, among many other things: contract drafting and negotiation; legal research; and advice and counsel to business stakeholders. 

This lawyer will need to be a strong generalist, while also developing specialization in areas of business need. Opportunities for specialization include indirect spend agreements (. vendor service agreements and statements of work), marketing agreements (. promotion, production, advertising (buy and sell), and talent agreements), data protection, privacy and processing agreements, and labor contracting (. outsourced labor, business process outsourcing and consulting agreements). As part of a small legal team where all members contribute at every level, this lawyer must be able to think creatively, provide solution-oriented advice and develop a mastery of both the big and small picture. 

A successful candidate will be hard-working, proactive, pragmatic and collaborative, with a strong business focus and the ability to build consensus in ambiguous situations and evolving legal landscapes. This attorney should also bring a global perspective and the ability to learn both quickly and in depth about a new business or initiative. 

This hybrid position will be based in our Boston office. At Wayfair, hybrid for enterprise employees requires a commitment to be in the office Monday through Thursday, with Fridays remote.

What You'll Do 

  • Partner closely with stakeholders, our Strategic Procurement team, and other Legal team members to service and support internal legal requests and organizational initiatives. 
  • Become an expert in our most common commercial agreements and proactively identify and drive process improvement opportunities (. templates, automation, knowledge management).
  • Help drive the product roadmap for contract lifecycle management tooling, including matter and contract management systems and client-facing legal request tools. 
  • Learn our business and industry, and develop and deploy a calibrated risk-based approach to complex and novel legal issues. 

What You'll Need

  • 3+ years of transactional legal experience at a law firm or in-house. 
  • . with top academic credentials and membership with at least one state bar. 
  • Willingness to master new and unfamiliar areas of practice and to roll-up sleeves, pitch-in and tackle complex problems with the broader Wayfair team, including both legal and non-legal colleagues. 
  • Highly effective, business-friendly and persuasive writing and communication skills including excellent negotiation and relationship-building abilities. 
  • Project management experience and the ability to prioritize, multi-task, meet deadlines and maintain flexibility in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
