Job Description

About Zinnia

Zinnia is the leading technology platform for accelerating life and annuities growth. With innovative enterprise solutions and data insights, Zinnia simplifies the experience of buying, selling, and administering insurance products. Zinnia has over $180 billion in assets under administration, serves 100+ carrier clients, 2,500 distributors and partners, and over 2 million policyholders.

The Role

You'll be the trusted legal advisor business teams rely on to assess commercial risk and guide deal strategy. You'll analyze complex commercial agreements—SaaS, licensing, professional services, implementation, support, and insurance third-party administration—and help the business determine what to accept, negotiate, or decline. Your advice will be grounded in both contract law and real-world product and operational knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

Contracts, Start to Finish

  • Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements across multiple domains (SaaS, licensing, professional services, implementation, support, insurance TPA)
  • Lead negotiations with customers, vendors, and strategic partners on pricing, service levels, data protection, IP, indemnification, limitation of liability, termination rights, and regulatory terms
  • Manage post-signature matters including interpretation, amendments, renewals, and dispute resolution
  • Build and refine contracting tools: templates, playbooks, fallback positions, and approval workflows

Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Serve as legal partner to Sales, Finance, Product, Technology, Operations, InfoSec, Privacy, and Compliance teams
  • Identify legal and commercial risks early, communicate them clearly, and recommend practical solutions
  • Monitor developments in commercial, technology, insurance regulatory, and privacy law that impact business operations
  • Collaborate with Legal, Compliance, and Risk on broader initiatives and cross-functional projects

Growth Opportunities

  • Take on special projects beyond core contracting work as business needs evolve

What We're Looking For

  • Natural curiosity and genuine interest in learning new areas of law
  • Desire to stretch beyond core subject-matter expertise
  • Ability to work collaboratively across functions and communicate complex legal concepts in plain language
  • Commercial mindset balanced with legal risk management
