Role
Who you are
- Have 6+ years PQE/in‑house tech experience, ideally at fast‑scaling SaaS/cloud companies
- Are admitted and in good standing as a lawyer or solicitor in a relevant EMEA jurisdiction (e.g., England & Wales, Ireland or NL) with experience in house and at a law firm
- Have deep experience drafting and negotiating both high-touch and high-volume commercial agreements in multi-jurisdictional contexts, especially B2B/Enterprise SaaS
- Know privacy inside‑out (GDPR, cross‑border transfers, DPAs) and are comfortable advising (and educating) business teams as they navigate these novel and evolving hurdles in commercial negotiations
- Excel at providing practical, actionable, and risk-balanced advice with legal discipline
- Are a bold self‑starter who thrives in a high‑velocity, change‑oriented culture and enjoys building from the ground up and wearing multiple hats
- Are self-sufficient and able to thrive autonomously in uncertainty and ambiguity, but also a team player that embraces cross‑functional collaboration and rolling up your sleeves
- Are systems‑savvy: familiarity with CLMs (IronClad or similar), DocuSign, Salesforce, Google Workspace/Slack
- Stay curious and open to growth — actively building fluency in emerging technologies like AI to unlock creativity, accelerate progress, and amplify impact
What the job involves
- We’re expanding our legal team internationally and looking for a Senior Commercial Counsel, EMEA to serve as a strategic legal partner to our EMEA Sales and broader teams
- As our first international legal hire, in this impactful and highly-visible role you’ll drive complex deal negotiations and scale and streamline our commercial legal function in EMEA, directly enabling our business teams to close deals with leading EMEA companies and organizations across all market segments, including SMBs, regulated-companies, and large enterprises
- This is an exciting opportunity to join a fun, supportive, and high-functioning legal team as we expand our international footprint and grow with the business
- This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, rapid-growth environments and knows how to balance risk on a sliding scale to enable revenue
- You’ll be a key partner throughout deal cycles while also providing strategic counsel on the unique legal and regulatory considerations for Privacy and responsible AI deployment throughout the EMEA region
- Reporting to the Head of Commercial Legal
- Be a founding member of Webflow’s international legal footprint, building out our EMEA legal function and GTM legal playbook in close coordination with the global legal team
- Serve as a key strategic advisor to sales leadership on complex commercial deals and contractual matters across SMB to large enterprise clients
- Lead negotiations and successfully close a variety of sophisticated commercial contracts with diverse EMEA companies and organizations, including but not limited to SaaS deals, channel/distribution/reseller agreements, DPAs, professional services agreements, marketing, NDAs, and vendor contracts on an as-needed basis
- Navigate, anticipate, and proactively manage risks from applicable emerging and rapidly-evolving EMEA regulatory and jurisdiction-specific requirements (e.g., Privacy and AI technologies)
- Design and implement scalable contract frameworks, playbooks, resources, and processes to support and enable our fast-growing EMEA sales organization
- Provide triage support to the US-based legal team for general (non-commercial) company requests on an as-needed basis
- In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, at Webflow we will support you in identifying where your interests and development opportunities lie and we'll help you incorporate them into your role
Salary benchmarks
Our take
No-code development systems allow users to create and publish the kind of output that was once only possible with the help of a team of developers. Webflow is one such platform that allows non-developers to create professional websites without knowing any code. It joins others such as Pantheon, Weebly, Squarespace, and Wix in a hotly-contested low-code development market. While competition is high, so too is demand, with low-code platforms accounting for more than 65% of application development activity in 2024.
The popularity of platforms such as Webflow is perhaps not surprising, as low-code development is usually cheaper for companies to implement and reduces time to market. Webflow has been used by over 3.5 million designers and teams to create sites for companies including enterprise brands such as Dell, Rakuten, UpWork, and Petal. It raised a large amount of funding in a Series C round in 2022. This is being used to further develop its platform, with a longer-term goal of pivoting to providing a no-code tool not only for websites, but software development as well.
