Senior Counsel, Commercial & Strategic Transactions

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company building quantum computers, sensors, and networks for commercial, industrial, and national security applications. As a publicly traded company on the NYSE under ticker INFQ, we operate at the intersection of advanced research, disciplined engineering, and market execution.

Built on deep scientific expertise, we are now accelerating our commercial and public company capabilities to support disciplined growth at scale. Legal plays a central role in enabling that transition.

Position Summary:

Infleqtion is seeking a Senior Counsel, Commercial & Strategic Transactions to report directly to the Chief Legal Officer and serve as a critical legal partner for commercial contracting and strategic transactions, working closely with commercial, product, engineering, and operational leaders.

• Coordinate with internal stakeholders on export control and national security considerations. Familiarity with ITAR/EAR is a plus.
• Support strategic collaborations, joint development initiatives, and other growth-oriented transactions as needed.
• Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of agreements, including:

• Deliver targeted training to commercial and technical teams on contracting standards, risk awareness, and compliance fundamentals.
• Support cross-functional corporate, regulatory, and governance matters as needed.
