Legal Associate - Contracts Review

About the role

Ornn builds the financial infrastructure for AI compute, trading compute hedging instruments and building a platform for reserving and allocating compute capacity. It is a lean New York team backed by venture and strategic investors. Working directly with its counsel, you will review and mark up MSAs, order forms and service level agreements, track what is outstanding and keep contracts moving. Most of the work is careful, methodical review of standard paper.

Key responsibilities

• Review and redline customer MSAs, order forms and service level agreements against standard positions.
• Prepare first drafts and turn counsel's comments into clean language.
• Track every contract in flight: which version is current, whose turn it is and how long it has been sitting.
• Support supplier paperwork such as NDAs, diligence documents and onboarding.
• Take contract questions off the go-to-market team so they can focus on selling.

Required profile

• A JD, a paralegal certificate, or late-stage enrollment in a law program; the role needs real legal training, not an adjacent degree.
• Experience reviewing commercial contracts, or clear evidence you can pick it up quickly.
• Precise and methodical, able to run a queue and follow up without being asked twice.
• Discreet with confidential commercial terms.
• Based in New York and able to work in person at the office.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with technology, services or infrastructure contracts, especially MSAs and SLAs.
• Time in an in-house legal team at a startup rather than only at a firm.
• Interest in commercial or commodity markets, or in how compute is becoming an asset class.
• Familiarity with DocuSign and contract management tools.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity in an early role with significant impact and equity upside.
• Health coverage, free meals and additional benefits.
