Description

About Port: At Port.io, we are building an open and flexible Agentic Engineering Platform for modern engineering organizations. Following our recent $100M Series C funding round, we are in a phase of rapid hypergrowth with strong enterprise momentum. We act as the central nervous system for engineering, enabling platform teams to unify their stack and expose it as a governed layer through golden paths for developers and AI agents. By combining rich engineering context, workflows, and actions, we help organizations transition from manual processes to autonomous, AI-assisted engineering workflows while maintaining control and accountability. As a product-led company, we believe in building world-class platforms that fundamentally shape how modern engineering organizations operate. As we continue our rapid growth, we're looking for an Account Executive who will take ownership of a segment of Port's enterprise territories. Partnering with our Sales team, you'll craft your own pipeline, and join forces with our adept Sales Engineers to secure deals that range from five to seven figures. Your comfort in leading pivotal deals, handling a diverse portfolio, and laying the groundwork for future teammates is crucial. You possess a keen ability to listen to and engage with engineers — our primary buyers — and to gracefully navigate technical dialogues and decision-making. Your role requires a blend of best sales practices, in-depth sales expertise, and an unyielding passion to close significant deals in record time. About your day-to-day: We’re looking for a commercially driven Legal Counsel to join our growing team in Israel and take ownership of commercial legal matters across EMEA. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to build, not just maintain. You’ll be a key legal partner to our GTM teams, work closely with leadership, and play a real role in Port’s continued hyper-growth. If you’re looking to make an impact, influence outcomes, and be part of a meteoric growth story – this role is for you. As part of your responsibilities, you will: Review, draft, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including SaaS agreements, partner agreements, vendor contracts, DPAs, NDAs, and related documents, in alignment with the company’s go-to-market strategy. Own and manage the full lifecycle of commercial agreements, from intake and negotiation through execution, implementation, and archival. Act as a trusted legal partner to Sales, Product, Security, and other stakeholders to support and accelerate deals and remove legal blockers. Lead and contribute to commercial legal operations, including scalable processes, tools, workflow automation, and internal training. Draft, maintain, and continuously improve commercial templates, clauses, and playbooks to ensure consistency, efficiency, and compliance. Manage and coordinate external counsel on specialized commercial matters when required. Support commercial activity across the EMEA region, with occasional travel to London and other offices as needed. What Success Looks Like After 6 Months: Fully owns and leads commercial legal work across EMEA with minimal supervision. Trusted legal partner to Sales and GTM, enabling faster deal execution without blocking the business. Independently negotiates complex SaaS and partner agreements with enterprise customers. Standard commercial templates and playbooks are in place and actively used. Contract turnaround times are shorter and processes are clear and scalable. Seen as someone who builds, takes ownership, and genuinely contributes to Port’s growth. Requirements 5+ years of experience as a commercial lawyer, including at least 2 years in a fast-paced tech company (in-house). Proven experience in commercial tech / SaaS agreements – mandatory. Law degree from a leading academic institution. Certified lawyer with an active bar membership. Strong background negotiating B2B SaaS contracts with enterprise and mid-market customers across EMEA and globally. Solid understanding of privacy, IP, and data protection regulations relevant to SaaS businesses (including GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks). A hands-on, get-things-done mindset with strong business judgment and the ability to operate in a fast-moving environment. Highly organized, able to manage multiple priorities while keeping the details tight. A true team player with excellent communication and collaboration skills. A proactive self-learner who takes ownership, looks ahead, and pushes things forward. Someone who cares deeply about the company’s success and is excited to help build and scale a high-growth organization.
