Who We Are
Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles.
With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected.
Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.
About the Team
The Legal team is a strategic partner to the business, helping teams move quickly and responsibly as the company scales. We work cross-functionally with supply chain, business development, product, engineering, partnerships, and other groups to enable innovation, manage risk, and build scalable processes. Our team values practical judgment, clear communication, collaboration, and a solutions-oriented approach.
About the Role
As Senior Commercial Counsel, you will advise on the commercial transactions that support our mission and day-to-day operations. You will structure, draft, negotiate, and manage agreements involving vehicle systems and components, intellectual property, strategic partnerships, software and SaaS, professional services, goods and services, non-disclosure agreements, and more.
This role is ideal for a pragmatic, business-minded attorney who can independently manage matters ranging from routine agreements to complex, groundbreaking transactions. Success requires sound judgment, strong execution, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach to working with teams across the company.
About the Work
Lead commercial transactions from intake through post-signature management, partnering with business and technical teams to develop strategies, negotiate with counterparties, and finalize agreements.
Advise on legal and business risks, explain complex terms clearly, and recommend practical, risk-conscious solutions aligned with company objectives.
Support matters across supply chain; business development, product, and partnerships; intellectual property and licensing; data privacy and security; marketing; real estate and facilities; and other areas as needed.
Train cross-functional teams on commercial contracting requirements, best practices, and effective risk management.
Help implement and launch a new contract lifecycle management (CLM) system, including templates, playbooks, fallback positions, workflows, and related process improvements.
Streamline and automate contracting processes to improve efficiency, consistency, and visibility.
Serve as a legal “utility player,” contributing beyond commercial transactions in areas such as intellectual property, privacy, marketing, real estate, and product- or customer-facing matters.
Apply AI tools thoughtfully to improve legal workflows, processes, and team efficiency.
About You
7+ years of legal experience in a fast-growing, technology-focused company, top-tier law firm, or a combination of both, with significant experience independently handling complex commercial transactions.
Exceptional drafting, negotiation, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to produce polished work for executive and external audiences.
Experience advising high-growth technology businesses and translating complex legal issues into practical, actionable business guidance.
