The team is pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and deeply engaged in strategic decision-making, with a strong emphasis on building trusted relationships across the organization.
As Senior Counsel, Commercial, you will support CoreWeave’s international expansion transactions, with a particular focus on deals in both EMEA and APAC.

In this role, you will
- Lead day-to-day drafting, negotiation, and execution of term sheets and definitive agreements across active and emerging EMEA and APAC jurisdictions,

- Draft, negotiate, and close MSAs, order forms, partnership agreements, and vendor agreements supporting Omni and adjacent commercial work.
- Partner cross-functionally to move deals at the pace of the business, while pragmatically managing legal and commercial risk.
- Advise business leaders, in coordination with the Senior Managing Associate General Counsel, EMEA, on transaction structures and operating models as CoreWeave enters new markets, providing proactive, commercially focused counsel and escalating material or novel issues appropriately.
- Contribute to and maintain the Omni process, workflows, template and playbook set, so repeat deal structures execute faster over time.
- Coordinate with outside counsel and internal subject-matter experts on jurisdiction-specific issues arising from Omni transactions, including sovereign and government-adjacent counterparties.
- Help develop and implement a legal support plan with overseas teammates and outside counsel to ensure seamless and timely support of transactions across stakeholders in multiple time zones.
Who You Are:
- Qualified solicitor in England & Wales, with 6+ years PQE gained from a top-tier law firm, together with relevant in-house experience gained within a fast-paced technology company.
