At Compu Dynamics, we don’t just build infrastructure—we create the backbone of the digital future.

Summary

Compu Dynamics is growing fast, and the volume and complexity of our agreements has grown right along with it. NDAs, MSAs, subcontracts, customer contracts, and purchase orders come in every day, often with turnaround measured in hours.

The Corporate Counsel is our first in-house attorney and the primary legal partner to the COO. This person will own day-to-day contract review, redlining, and negotiation, build the systems and processes that keep our agreements organized and accessible, and manage our outside counsel. The goal is for this role to handle the large majority of the legal work the COO carries today, bringing forward only the judgment calls that need an executive decision. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move quickly, think like a business partner, and build a legal function from the ground up.

Essential Functions

Contract Review, Redlining & Negotiation

Review, redline, and negotiate NDAs, MSAs, subcontractor, staffing, and vendor agreements, customer contracts, and purchase orders, typically within a few hours and same day when the business needs it.
Negotiate directly with counterparties and their counsel, and prepare final agreements for executive signature.
Develop and maintain standard templates, fallback positions, and a contract playbook so routine agreements move quickly and consistently.
Use AI-assisted tools for first-pass review where appropriate, applying independent legal judgment to every document before redlines go out.
Periodically review CDM and R&D agreements if required.

Legal Operations & Agreement Management

Design and own a centralized, searchable system for all agreements across subcontractors, vendors, customers, and partners.
Pull existing agreements from DocuSign, audit them, and make sure each one is coded and categorized correctly.
Locate, rename, and file legacy agreements currently spread across OneDrive and SharePoint.
Track renewals, expirations, notice periods, insurance requirements, and key obligations so nothing lapses or gets missed.
Build a clear intake and review workflow, including tiered review so that only escalations and final signatures reach the COO.

Business Advisory & Risk Judgment

Serve as the primary legal advisor to the COO and leadership team, giving clear, practical recommendations on contract risk and business decisions.
Support insurance and risk management, including coverage requirements in contracts, certificates of insurance, and claims coordination.
Assist Safety with OSHA matters and safety policies, and advise HR on employment matters, templates, and employee investigations as needed.

Maintain consistent legal terms in proposal templates that align with customer and partner contracts.
Review RFP and bid terms with estimating before pricing is submitted.
Train account and project managers on key contract terms and obligations.
