About the role
Change the world. Love your job.
TI seeks a skilled, highly motivated, and proactive self-starter to join our Worldwide Commercial Platforms and Transactions team in the legal organization. You will be a trusted advisor to business leaders across a growing global semiconductor company. You will play a key role in reshaping how commercial legal work gets done, moving from matter-by-matter legal work to scalable, data-driven, and AI-enabled legal frameworks.
What you'll do
Deconstruct classic matter support into legal tasks and design reusable, modular legal structures and legal frameworks that enable speed, scale, and a consistent risk posture.
Build and maintain the legal data, playbooks, and knowledge assets that support data-driven advice grounded in prior deal history, defined legal positions, and prevailing market norms, and identify cross-matter trends and gaps that inform new positions and process improvements.
Modernize our operations through standardization, automation, and AI
Manage your own portfolio of complex, international commercial matters as part of an experienced, collaborative Dallas-based legal team.
Own the legal path to TI's business outcomes, leading with a clear recommendation even when the answer is not obvious, and seeing matters through to completion.
Serve as the legal decision-maker on matters requiring attorney judgment, lead matters of high strategic importance, and advise senior management directly.
Advise across commercial contracts, online commerce, intellectual property, open-source and software licensing, supply chain, marketing, communications, and cybersecurity.
Apply strong business judgment, working across an international team, to advise on emerging and evolving business models.
Bring an enduring excitement for learning the semiconductor industry, anticipate emerging trends in technology, markets, and regulation, and proactively partner with the business to address those trends before they arrive.
.
Manage the scope, quality, and cost of outside counsel engagements.
How you'll work
Start with the business objective: quickly assess whether an issue advances it, reframe the issue when needed, and deprioritize it when it does not.
Bring a healthy dose of informed skepticism and curiosity to every project and conversation: ask the next question, test assumptions (including the business's and your own), and look past the obvious answer to understand the underlying risk and opportunity.
Bring TI's perspective and your own view assertively into every discussion.
Begin each project with a clear definition of success, align with stakeholders at the outset, and track whether your actions deliver the intended outcome.
Escalate with purpose—to drive alignment, enable decisions, or shift strategy—while owning forward progress.
Minimum requirements:
Licensed, or eligible to become licensed, to practice law in the State of Texas.
Five or more years of transactional or litigation experience at a leading law firm, in a corporate legal organization, or equivalent experience.
Preferred qualifications:
Proven entrepreneurial mindset and attitude to identify opportunities, to solve issues in a creative and practical manner and to move fast
Transactional experience, preferably in an international setting.
Experience with technology licensing, tech transfer, or IP-intensive transactions.
Experience representing or working with technology and/or manufacturing companies; experience in the defense industry is a plus.
Hands-on experience building contract playbooks or templates, or using legal technology such as AI tools or contract lifecycle management (CLM) platforms.
Proven ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously, balancing attention to detail with strategic thinking, supported by project management experience.
Clear, persuasive written and verbal communication and presentation skills.
Intellectual curiosity and constructive skepticism, with a track record of probing assumptions, asking incisive questions, and translating what you learn into practical, business-focused advice.
Genuine enthusiasm for the semiconductor industry and a demonstrated habit of spotting future trends and working proactively with business partners to get ahead of them.
Ability to build relationships and work collaboratively with a diverse international team of lawyers and business managers.
Commitment to developing others through direct, specific, and honest feedback.
