Founded by the team behind IntSights (acquired by Rapid7), PointFive recently closed a $60M Series B led by Accel, with participation from Entrée Capital and Salesforce Ventures.

We're hiring a Director of Legal to serve as PointFive's first in-house legal counsel and build the legal function from the ground up. This is a broad, high-ownership role: you'll cover the full spectrum of company legal - commercial contracts and deal support, corporate housekeeping, compliance, and everything in between - while putting in place the infrastructure that makes the business faster as it grows. This leader is equal parts player/coach, process builder, legal counsel and owner, and hands-on executor.

You'll report into VP of Operations and work as a close partner to Sales, RevOps, Finance, HR and leadership across the business. You'll know when to get into the weeds on a deal and when to step back and let the team move. If you're energized by building from scratch, moving quickly, and having a real seat at the table, this role might be for you.

What You'll Own

Commercial Legal and Deal Desk

• Serve as in-house counsel for all commercial activity: draft, review, and negotiate MSAs, SaaS agreements, NDAs, SOWs, and amendments.

• Drive commercial contracting end-to-end — guide GTM teams through negotiations and MSA reviews, building their judgment on tradeoffs and risk over time. Get into the weeds where a deal requires it; remove yourself where the team can move without you.

• Own the legal side of contract lifecycle management: intake, routing, templates, repository, and reporting, in close coordination with RevOps and Sales Ops whose Order Form, CPQ, and contract-management systems the legal workflow flows from.

• Standardize approval workflows and turnaround SLAs so deals move faster, not slower, when they hit Legal.

Partnerships Legal Management

• Support partnership agreements with cloud providers, channel partners, and technology alliances.

• Collaborate with the Partnerships team on deal structure, IP ownership, and commercial terms.

• Cloud Marketplace Contracting legal requirements (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) - EULA amendments, CCP terms, DPA addendums, MDF agreements

Corporate and Company Legal

• Own the company's corporate legal foundation: entity maintenance and coordination with external counsel on corporate governance matters.

• Support G&A activity as needed - interfacing with Finance, HR, and Operations to keep corporate housekeeping running cleanly.

• Manage IP ownership, trademarks, assignment agreements, and any licensing matters that arise as the product and partnerships expand.

• Be the internal go-to for any legal question that doesn't fit a neat category — the kind of role where "that's not my area" is not an answer.

Employment Law (Israel, US, UK, Global)

• Handle employment matters: offer letters, contractor agreements, separation agreements, and policy updates in coordination with HR and Operations.

• Familiarity with dual-entity structures and equity matters (US/Israel) a plus.

Risk Management

• Identify and assess legal and business risk across contracts, partnerships, vendors, and new commercial motions.

• Build a consistent framework for evaluating and communicating risk to leadership — not just flagging issues, but recommending how to navigate them.

• Leverage outside counsel efficiently: deploy them on spiky, unfamiliar, or high-stakes matters where specialization matters; handle the rest in-house.

• Advise on corporate governance, employment matters, and any legal exposure that arises as the company scales.

What You'll Support

Compliance

• Partner with Security and Engineering on data privacy obligations and audit readiness.

• Support Security/Technology with the company's compliance posture across SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and other applicable frameworks.

• Monitor regulatory changes and ensure internal policies stay current and enforced - particularly relevant given the pace of change in AI regulation (EU AI Act, state-level AI laws, etc.).

RFPs and Security Questionnaires

• Lead legal review and response for RFPs, security questionnaires, and customer due diligence requests.

• Support Solution Engineering and build repeatable playbooks and response libraries to reduce cycle time and lift the quality of every submission.

Vendor Legal Management

• Support finance with vendor contract review and negotiation - software, contractors services, data, and infrastructure agreements.

• Maintain a vendor contract repository and proactively flag risks, and obligations.

• Partner with Finance on procurement and approval processes of onboarding and renewal of vendor contracts

What Success Looks Like

• Contract lifecycle is under control: templates exist, intake is clean, and the repository is a source of truth, not a mess.

• GTM teams are faster — legal has reduced friction on standard deals without increasing exposure.

• Risk is visible: leadership knows what's in the pipeline, what's been escalated to outside counsel, and why.

• Compliance posture is documented and audit-ready — no scrambling when a customer or auditor asks.

• The business trusts Legal as an accelerator, not a bottleneck.

What We're Looking For

• 5-7 years of legal experience in a hi-tech company or hi-tech sector under a law firm.

• Technical fluency: you don't need to write code, but you understand how software products are built, deployed, and sold.

• JD from an accredited law school and bar admission (New York preferred).

• Deep fluency in commercial contracts: SaaS agreements, MSAs, NDAs, data processing agreements, and vendor terms.

• Proven ability to work autonomously - you've owned a function, not just supported one.

• Track record of partnering closely with Sales and RevOps: you understand the commercial process, not just the contracts.

• Experience managing outside counsel - knowing when to deploy them and how to extract value efficiently.

• Experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR) and the operational work that keeps them current.

• Strong instincts on risk: you know when to push back, when to move fast, and how to explain the difference to a non-lawyer.

• Clear, direct communicator - in contracts and in conversation.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, data security, or FinOps industry context.

• Prior experience building legal processes and tooling from an early-stage baseline.

Benefits & Perks:

• Base Salary Range: $190,000 - $240,000.

• Health, dental, vision (yes, all three!), equity in something early-stage and exciting, generous PTO, 401K, meal & commuter benefits, a team that will actually challenge you and much more.
