- Exceptional drafting and negotiation skills with experience handling hardware, software licensing, and public sector transactions.

- Track record of running point on high-value, non-standard transactions end-to-end, collaborating with internal stakeholders and keeping deals moving on demanding timelines while exercising sound judgment and seeking help when needed.

- Recognized as a trusted advisor to business leaders, known for turning complex legal issues into clear, practical risk guidance.

- Juris Doctor from an accredited US law school; admitted to the bar and in good standing in the jurisdiction of hire, or otherwise authorized to practice law.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Energized to support deals that span practice areas and shift with NVIDIA's business.

- Equally ready to support routine agreements as to lead first-of-its-kind deals and willing to pick up whatever the business needs.

- Background or genuine interest in government and public sector commercial work, including government procurement requirements and regulated-industry customers.

- Systems thinker who goes beyond the deal in front of them to build or improve the process for next time.

- Curious and low-ego: you ask questions, seek help from others, learn the technology and the business, and know the best answer can come from anyone and a self-starter who manages priorities with minimal direction and collaborates easily across functions and disciplines.

**Compensation:** Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 232,000 USD - 368,000 USD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
