The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Counsel to serve as a trusted, go‑to advisor, supporting company objectives across go-to-market and our administrative functions, including pricing issues, employment, and acquisition integration. This is a true generalist role for someone who builds strong relationships, solves problems pragmatically, and enjoys creating scalable processes. You’ll operate with high autonomy and partner closely with senior leaders in multiple functions.

Additionally, this role will mature and own UserTesting’s intellectual property program, managing outside counsel, creating program infrastructure, and building cross-functional relationships to help protect what makes UserTesting special.

The Team

You’ll be part of our Legal, Privacy & Compliance team—a tight-knit, high-trust group that believes good legal support should be clear, accessible, and enabling. We work closely with teams across the company and operate with empathy, speed, and curiosity. You’ll report to the General Counsel and partner closely with business leaders with across the business.

Ideal background: You have successful in‑house experience at a B2B SaaS company and have operated in a private‑equity–backed environment. You thrive in ambiguity, communicate clearly, and know how to prioritize to keep the business moving. Ideal candidates will have spent time in private practice in a substantially related area of law, including trademark & brand protection or technology transactions. Experience with employment law, mergers & acquisitions and integration is a plus.

Must have:

• An active US law license in at least one relevant jurisdiction (Eastern or Central time zones preferred)

• Deep understanding of the SaaS revenue models and ability to advise on commercial integration topics.
• Strong commercial contracting skill set and comfort advising Revenue leaders with a pragmatic, business‑forward approach.
• Crisp communicator who builds trust, simplifies complexity, and gets to “yes, if…” quickly.
