The Company is seeking an Associate General Counsel, Commercial to lead its commercial legal function and manage complex transactions from initial structuring through negotiation, execution, and implementation. The role includes drafting and negotiating customer, supplier, technology, licensing, manufacturing, and strategic partnership agreements, while advising senior leaders and cross-functional teams on business objectives and legal risks.
