Corporate Counsel - US

Location: This position may be performed remotely, but requires the flexibility and willingness to travel as needed. The Opportunity At Praxis, we are looking for a senior contracts attorney and recognized subject matter expert to join our lean, agile Legal team at an important point in the company’s growth. As we advance our pipeline toward commercialization, our contracting needs are growing in both volume and complexity. You will serve as the principal advisor on contracting for the company and will set the strategy, standards, and operating model for the contracting function—getting important work done today while helping us build smarter, more scalable ways of working for what comes next. You’ll join a team that moves quickly and expects Legal to help the business move with confidence. You’ll bring both a legal and business lens to your work: understanding what teams are trying to accomplish, asking the right questions, focusing on the risks that truly matter, and providing clear, practical guidance. You’ll be trusted to use good judgment, make decisions when the path isn’t perfectly defined, and help teams move forward. You will operate with wide latitude to set your own objectives and priorities, resolve novel questions where precedent and information are limited, and make binding decisions on negotiated positions within delegated authority. You’ll thrive in this role if you like to build, not just advise. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how Praxis approaches contracting by creating practical tools, simplifying processes, challenging unnecessary complexity, and continually looking for better ways to work. Success will mean becoming a recognized internal authority on contracting and a trusted partner across every function—someone who takes ownership, speaks candidly, follows through, and helps us move with both speed and quality while protecting Praxis, our programs, and ultimately the patients we serve. The standards you set and the positions you take will carry well beyond Legal, shaping how Clinical, Technical Operations, Commercial, Finance, and Procurement contract with third parties over a multi-year horizon.
