Meet Smarty.
You may not have heard of us, but you've probably benefited from our work. Smarty is a leader in location data intelligence, helping businesses around the world verify, standardize, and enrich their address and location data at scale. When a package reaches the right door, an order ships without a hitch, or a journey reaches the right destination, there's a good chance we helped.
We've built all of this the hard way: self-funded, profitable, and on our own terms. That independence lets us make long-term decisions, invest in our people, and hold a high bar for our work. We’ve been recognized as a Top Workplace four years running, thanks to a culture that values our people just as much as our products.
We're building a legal function that runs as smart and efficiently as the products we sell, and we need an Associate Counsel to help get us there. You'll own a genuine slice of that work from day one, partnering with our In-House Counsel on contracts, risk, and compliance while actively using AI and legal technology to streamline how we operate. If you are technically curious, commercially minded, and ready to make an immediate impact, this role was built for you.
This is an onsite, non-remote opening in Orem, UT.
What You'll Do
- Legal Technology & AI
- Use AI-assisted tools as a core part of your daily workflow, including legal research, contract review, document drafting, and process improvement.
- Identify opportunities to streamline and automate routine legal tasks, bringing a continuous improvement mindset to how the legal function operates.
- Stay current on emerging legal technology and share insights with the team on tools and practices worth adopting.
- Contracts & Commercial Agreements
- Partner with In-house Counsel on review and redlining of standard agreements, including SaaS subscriptions, MSAs, Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), NDAs, and vendor contracts.
- Manage redline cycles with counterparties, escalating non-standard terms and elevated risk positions to In-House Counsel.
- Partner with Sales to keep deal cycles moving, and maintain contract templates.
- Implement and use contract lifecycle management (CLM) or legal workflow tools.
- Risk Identification & Mitigation
- Work with In-house Counsel to conduct legal risk assessments across product features, go-to-market strategies, and third-party integrations.
- Advise internal stakeholders on liability exposure in contracts and operations.
- Work across teams with compliance, IT and engineering to identify and mitigate risk, contributing to periodic risk reporting.
- Data Privacy & Regulatory Compliance
- Support compliance with GDPR, HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, CCPA/CPRA, and emerging privacy frameworks.
- Monitor regulatory developments relevant to SaaS, AI, and cloud services and translate implications for the business.
What You Bring
- A technical mindset and genuine enthusiasm for using AI tools for legal research, contract review, or drafting, and a curiosity about how those tools are changing the practice of law.
- JD from an ABA-accredited law school.
- Active or in-process bar admission in at least one U.S. state.
- 0 to 5 years of experience (law firm, in-house, or clerkship); new graduates are encouraged to apply.
- Demonstrated interest in technology law, SaaS business models, or the software industry.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate legal complexity into plain language.
- Technical literacy: you do not need to code, but you should be comfortable discussing APIs, cloud infrastructure, and software architecture at a conceptual level.
