Ridgeline
Are you a trusted legal advisor who thrives on guiding high-growth companies through complex GTM motions? Do you enjoy translating legal nuance into business strategy and building scalable processes that accelerate revenue? Are you excited to collaborate cross-functionally with sales, product, and finance teams to create operational excellence at a modern SaaS company? If so, we invite you to be a part of our innovative team.
As a Senior Corporate Counsel at Ridgeline, you will be the primary legal partner enabling our Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy. Reporting to the VP of Legal, you'll bring a tech-forward and solution-oriented mindset to support enterprise sales, reduce friction, and scale our contract operations. You will develop and refine commercial legal processes, guide deal negotiations, and shape a trusted legal function embedded in the business. Working closely with multiple functions, you will help design and drive Ridgeline’s revenue enablement engine. This is a role where your impact will be seen in both topline growth and operational maturity.
At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions—not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture. If this excites you, we’d love to meet you.
