Description
We’re growing and looking to hire a strong Corporate Counsel / Senior Corporate Counsel who embodies our core values: People First, Customer Obsession, Strive for Excellence, and Integrity.
Claroty is a global leader in protecting cyber-physical systems (CPS), dedicated to securing the critical infrastructure that keeps the world running. We’re a fast-growing, award-winning team where innovation meets purpose—and we want you to help us define the future of cybersecurity.
Why This Role Is Different:
Claroty sits at a unique strategic intersection: cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, and AI, at a moment of rapid growth and strong market opportunities. Our clients include many of the world’s largest and most recognized companies. Our work also expands to federal agencies and public sector organizations that protect national critical infrastructure.
This is an opportunity to take part in shaping Claroty’s strategic shift to AI on every front.

On the product side, you will advise on how AI is revolutionizing our platform and be deeply involved in the go-to market and product mapping and structuring.
You will have a seat at the table on M&A deals, strategic alliances, and federal and public sector growth initiatives that define the company’s next chapter.
About the Role:
As Corporate Counsel, you will serve as a trusted legal advisor, providing strategic and practical legal support across commercial transactions, operational matters, and corporate governance. You will partner closely with cross-functional leadership to negotiate key contracts, manage risk, and ensure regulatory compliance in a fast-paced environment. In this high-impact position, you will help shape risk-mitigation strategies while directly supporting the business’s growth and strategic objectives.
If you’re a sharp, commercially minded lawyer who likes solving hard problems, learning fast and owning things end-to-end, you’ll understand why people love it here.

- M&A & Corporate Development: Play a hands-on role in M&A deals and strategic corporate transactions, from due diligence and deal documentation through closing and post-merger integration.
- Corporate Governance: Lead international entity formation and management, support board and corporate governance matters as the company scales, and maintain the trademark portfolio.
- AI Transformation: Help shape the company’s strategic transition to AI internally, in product, operationally within the legal department, and externally with customers and partners.
- Cross-Functional Generalist Advisory: Serve as a go-to legal partner across Sales, Product, HR, and Operations, providing business-minded advice on everyday legal matters, IP, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation.
