About us

DICEUS is a product company focused on building innovative software solutions for the global insurance market. We sell our own ready-made software products to insurance carriers, brokers, MGAs, captive managers, and other market participants. The United States is our primary market, and we are looking for a dedicated external legal counsel to support our commercial agreements and contract negotiations with enterprise clients across North America.

About the role

As an External Legal Counsel at DICEUS, you will work directly with our Head of Legal to support enterprise product contracts governed by US law. In this contract-based role, you will be the key legal contact defending our internal templates—including MSAs, software licensing, SaaS agreements, SOWs, and SLAs—during negotiations with insurers, brokers, and MGAs. We welcome applications from both independent attorneys and law firms (with a designated named lawyer and backup).

In your application, we kindly request that you provide us with:

  • Your rate expectations in USD gross per hour
  • Your location and time zone
  • Relevant experience in negotiating commercial and tech contracts (SaaS, MSAs) with enterprise clients and their legal/procurement teams

Key Responsibilities

Contract Negotiation & Risk Management:

  • Review and redline client changes to DICEUS standard contract templates (MSA, SaaS/License agreements, SOW, SLA).
  • Check each deal against internal risk checklists prior to execution.
  • Negotiate key commercial and liability terms, including limitations of liability, indemnities, client insurance requirements (cyber, E&O, additional insured), and termination clauses.
  • Handle data protection matters, including DPAs and client security requirements.

Client Engagement & Playbook Development:

  • Join live calls with client legal and procurement teams to explain and negotiate legal positions.
  • Build a comprehensive negotiation playbook during the first 1–2 months (defining standard positions, acceptable fallbacks, and red lines for key clauses).
  • Keep DICEUS standard templates up to date based on market trends and client feedback.

Occasional / Advisory Tasks (Bonus):

  • Advise on AI regulation in insurance (e.g., NAIC Model Bulletin, state laws, NY DFS) as it relates to our product offerings.
  • Provide legal support for new product launches (Terms of Service, policies).

Qualifications & Experience

Must-Have:

  • Proven experience with commercial and technology contracts governed by US law (SaaS, software licensing, MSAs).
  • Fluent English (written and spoken) with the ability to explain complex legal positions clearly on live client calls.
  • Availability to join client calls scheduled within the core ET window (8:00–17:00 ET, with rare calls up to 20:00 ET).
  • High responsiveness (same-day acknowledgment of requests and redlines within 2 business days).

Nice-to-Have:

  • Active US Bar admission (or an established escalation process/partner for US-licensed attorney sign-offs).
  • Direct experience working with clients in the insurance or financial services sector.

Expected Volume

  • Up to 20 hours per month initially, with potential growth to 40–50 hours per month.

Why Join Us?

  • Direct exposure to enterprise-level US insurance technology deals.
  • Clear negotiation frameworks and standard templates provided.
  • A fast-paced, collaborative environment with direct access to senior leadership.
