Full Job Description
COMMERCIAL COUNSEL San Francisco, CA · In-Office (Hybrid) ABOUT METER Meter’s mission is to make the internet a utility: a world where any business can turn on reliable, secure, enterprise-grade internet at any physical location as easily as it turns on power or water. Getting there is genuinely hard, because internet and networking have become deeply fragmented and crystallized. So Meter does the whole thing: we design and manufacture our own networking hardware, procure and manage ISPs, design, configure, and physically install networks, operate and monitor them once they’re live, and are working toward running them autonomously. Put differently, Meter is a hardware company, a software and models company, an internet service provider, an installer, and a real estate business, all at once. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS Each of those businesses has to be sold, structured, and signed. You'll close the material revenue contracts that keep the lights on and fund Meter's most ambitious work, bring creative structure to our most strategic deals, and be who Sales, Finance, and the CEO come to when a deal has to get done. You'll own Meter's entire commercial motion end-to-end: enterprise sales agreements and SLAs, reseller and partner deals, the real estate licenses that let us pre-install Meter hardware in buildings, the supply chain and installer agreements that enable Meter's business, and the vendor and marketing contracts that keep the business moving. And as that motion grows in volume and geography, you won't just close today's deals; you'll stand up the commercial legal function, from templates and playbooks to the CLM, that makes every future deal faster, cleaner, and more repeatable. This is a founding role, reporting to the General Counsel and based in San Francisco. WHAT YOU’LL OWN - Develop a deep understanding of Meter’s products and services, go-to-market and sales strategy, and mission. Know not just what we sell, but how Meter wins. - Draft, structure, negotiate,
