To enable enterprises to successfully manage their IT disaster recovery, cloud migration, and release strategies.
Role
Who you are
- UK-qualified lawyer with circa 2 years of relevant legal experience, suitable for a junior Legal Counsel role
- Experience in a fast-growing technology business is ideal; experience in an Enterprise B2B SaaS company is a bonus, particularly in managing high-value or complex commercial contracts
- A keen interest in technology and innovative ways of working. Candidates should enjoy partnering with the broader business and demonstrating proactive stakeholder support, moving beyond a "back-office" function
- If you are excited by this role, we invite you to apply! Even if your profile doesn’t check all the boxes, please don't simply scroll past! We recognize that talent lies everywhere and that some demographic groups are more likely to apply for a "stretch role" than others. We are always open to different perspectives and professional backgrounds to keep Cutover's culture evolving and to ensure that we never stop learning
What the job involves
- As Junior Legal Counsel, you will work closely with the General Counsel and Associate Legal Counsel, supporting a broad range of responsibilities from client and supplier negotiations to day-to-day legal operations, including maintaining contract records and managing key deadlines
- A core focus will be negotiating technology, data, and intellectual property contracts for Cutover and its partners. You will act as a trusted, cross-functional advisor, providing clear, tailored drafting and legal communications across all teams
- Furthermore, you will partner closely with go-to-market teams (including Sales, Partnerships, and Customer Success), delivering timely, practical advice and positioning the Legal function as a crucial deal enabler, not a blocker
- Manage the end-to-end execution and record-keeping of all contracts
- Provide regular reporting to the business on the status of signed agreements
- Review, negotiate, and finalize MNDAs (Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements)
- Handle the review and negotiation of supplier onboarding documentation and contract renewals
- Proactively monitor and manage supplier renewal timelines to ensure continuity
- Contribute to and provide legal support for the company's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives
- Collaborate with the wider team to draft subscription order forms for new customers and renewals
- Serve as a key legal contact, providing timely and practical day-to-day legal support across the business
