  • Expanded to the US market with a growing North American presence

  • Ended 2025 with a strong multi-million dollar ARR and ambitious goals for 2026

The Role

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel with a strong focus on commercial law, who has experience operating in-house within a B2B SaaS company, ideally at startup or scale-up stage.

This is a highly operational role, working closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Leadership to support our go-to-market efforts and enable the business to move fast while managing risk.

You will play a key role in structuring, negotiating, and scaling our commercial contracts and legal processes as the company grows.

What You Will Do

  • Own commercial contracts end-to-end
    Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of agreements (MSAs, DPAs, SaaS agreements, vendor contracts, etc.)

  • Partner closely with Sales and Customer teams
    Support deal cycles, unblock negotiations, and help structure contracts that balance speed and risk

  • Enable go-to-market activities
    Work on pricing structures, terms, and legal frameworks that support our commercial strategy

  • Build scalable legal processes
    Create templates, playbooks, and guidelines to increase autonomy across the business

  • Manage risk pragmatically
    Provide clear, business-oriented advice (not theoretical legal opinions)

  • Support broader legal topics (as needed)
    Data protection, compliance, and general corporate matters

Who You Are

  • at least 4+ years of experience in-house in a B2B SaaS company in cybersecurity, data or AI-based product

  • Strong background in commercial law and contract negotiation

  • Exposure to international contracts (US/EU)

  • Comfortable in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

  • Pragmatic mindset: you know how to balance risk and speed

  • Strong communication skills, able to explain legal concepts simply
