Job Description

About Merlin:

Merlin is a venture backed aerospace startup building a non-human pilot to enable both reduced crew and uncrewed flight. Backed by some of the world’s leading investors, Merlin is scaling alongside our customers to begin leveraging autonomy today to solve some of aviation’s biggest challenges.

About You:

You are a seasoned, business-minded attorney with experience operating in a public company environment and a track record of independently leading M&A, structuring and negotiating complex commercial agreements, and navigating highly regulated industries. You bring strong judgment and the ability to move quickly from term sheet to close, and from first draft to signed contract, by motivating cross-functional teams and engaging directly with business leaders on deal execution and strategy.

You are comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, highly regulated, and technically sophisticated environment, exercising sound judgment under time pressure and building repeatable legal processes alongside a small but growing team. You are energized by the challenge of constructing the commercial and transactional legal infrastructure for a pioneering autonomous aviation company.
