- Conduct comprehensive legal reviews of new products, features, and UI/UX flows, particularly around collaboration tools, automated workflows, and enterprise-grade administration features.
- Focus on outcomes by gaining a deep understanding of one or more product areas, R&D processes, and customer-facing product programs to become a trusted cross-functional partner.
About you

- Holds a JD from an accredited law school and is U.S.-qualified (California bar membership or California registered in-house counsel preferred).
- Brings 5+ years of combined experience working in-house at a SaaS company as product counsel and/or at a law firm in technology transactions or counseling high-growth SaaS companies on product, intellectual property, and/or strategic partnerships.
- Shows strong collaboration skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with lawyers and non-lawyers across the company.
- Acts as a creative problem solver comfortable with assessing risks and making clear decisions.
- Experience in one or more of the following areas is preferred: artificial intelligence, consumer protection, payments, productivity software, international compliance, or technical integrations/iPaaS.
- Business and customer-oriented with experience bringing diverse stakeholders to agreement.
- Possesses excellent legal and business judgment with the ability to assess and clearly communicate risks and tradeoffs to business partners in plain language.
At Asana, we're committed to building teams that include a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, as this is critical to helping us achieve our mission. If you're interested in this role and don't meet every listed requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
What we’ll offer Our comprehensive compensation package plays a big part in how we recognize you for the impact you have on our path to achieving our mission. We believe that compensation should be reflective of the value you create relative to the market value of your role.
