Location: Canada - Markham - Ontario

Senior Commercial Contracts Lawyer

CORA Group | Remote

About the Role

CORA Group is a vertical SaaS acquirer with a growing software portfolio. We’re looking for a senior commercial lawyer to own the contracts function across multiple portfolio companies in separate vertical markets. This is a high-volume, hands-on role with minimal supervision. You’ll operate independently and improve process alongside Senior Legal Counsel, not just respond to requests.

What You’ll Do

• Lead commercial contract negotiations end-to-end across SaaS agreements, MSAs, NDAs, payment processing, referral/reseller, and professional services arrangements
• Contribute to improving templates, playbooks, and contracting processes
• Apply and maintain legal playbooks to ensure consistent, defensible positions across the portfolio
• Redline and negotiate directly with counterparties and their counsel
• Identify and escalate material legal or risk issues with a clear recommendation (not just a flag)
• Advise internal commercial teams on contract risk in plain language

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of commercial contracts experience, with meaningful in-house or high-volume contracting time
• Proven ability to negotiate independently with sophisticated counterparties
• Strong judgment: know when to hold a position, when to move, and when to escalate
• Comfort working across multiple deal types, businesses, and industries concurrently
• Familiarity with SaaS business models and software agreement risk
• Experience building and following structured legal frameworks (playbooks, escalation protocols)
• Multi-jurisdiction experience an asset (Canada, US, UK, Australia)

What This Is Not

This role is not for someone who needs significant oversight, wants to specialize narrowly, or is looking for a traditional environment. Expect ambiguity, volume, and independent decision-making.
