Meet The Team:

Cisco Legal is searching for a Principal Corporate Counsel to join our Network Platform & Wireless Legal team! Our products and technology are changing the face of enterprise networking, with our goal to power an inclusive future for all. The Network Platform & Wireless products include the Cisco Wireless devices, the Meraki dashboard, Catalyst Center, Meraki IOT devices, and Cisco Spaces.

We are a team of four in search of a fifth utility player who's excited to identify and tackle issues all across our rapidly growing SaaS and hardware business. This role includes cross-functional engagement with our Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Support, and Operations teams. Are you ready to join our team?


Your Impact:

You are phenomenal at communicating succinct legal advice to executives and engineers alike, while balancing reasonable legal risk to enable important business outcomes. You have a curiosity about, and a passion for, both technology and the legal craft and are building extraordinary drafting and counseling skills. You are organized, dependable, and responsive (while we typically have no need to work nights or weekends, we want you to be open to it if the business teams need your support.) Finally, you are willing to dish out, or at the least humor, a great pun or a devastatingly witty meme.

How You'll Contribute:


  • Develop detailed knowledge of the Network Platform & Wireless products, business processes, people and go-to-market strategies around the world
  • Support our Product Managers at all stages of the product life cycle
  • Dive into privacy, regulatory, and operational challenges for a growing worldwide business
  • Collaborate with our Sales and Channel teams, both Legal and account executives, across all stages of the customer and partner sales motion
  • Establish relationships throughout the Cisco organization and Cisco Legal team
  • Learn to make fast, smart legal judgments to help our business continue to scale
  • Support the executive leadership team and cross-functional decision-making throughout the organization
  • Bring a positive attitude and approach challenges with a growth mindset
  • Commitment to building an inclusive culture
  • ...and have a few (a lot of) laughs along the way
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bar admission with 7+ years of law firm and/or in-house practice in a transactional and product counseling role with experience representing SaaS technology companies
  • Experience with privacy and data protection and use issues.
  • Experience managing projects or deals from start to finish
  • Ability to draft a substantive email in five sentences or fewer
  • Fierce organization and problem-solving skills
Preferred Qualification:
  • Experience in software licensing and/or privacy law
  • Experience moving between 'small company' and 'big company' environments
  • Ability to instruct the rest of Network Platform & Wireless Legal on how to use the fancy coffee machine (we are currently clueless)
