# About the role
As Commercial Counsel, you will be a key member of Flex’s growing Legal & Compliance team. Your primary mission is to own Flex’s commercial contracting function from proposal to signature, and to scale that function through playbooks, policies, and technology — including AI-assisted workflows. You will take proactive ownership of your scope, contribute to large cross-functional legal projects, and drive continuous improvements to how the legal department operates.
This opportunity is ideal for an entrepreneurial attorney who wants to build, not just execute. You will be empowered to design and implement tools and processes that measurably increase team velocity, and your manager will be intensely focused on your development and career growth at Flex.
