To enable enterprises to successfully manage their IT disaster recovery, cloud migration, and release strategies.
Role
Who you are
- You’re a UK qualified lawyer (alternatively, we will consider Australian, New Zealand or South African qualified lawyers)
- We’re seeing this as a mid-level Legal Counsel role, so you’ll have at least 3-5 years relevant post-qualification experience
- Ideally, you’ll have played a Legal Counsel role in at least one other quickly-growing technology business; bonus points if you’re coming from an Enterprise B2B SaaS company working with financial services clients and you understand the complexity and nuance of navigating high-value contracts and lengthy deal cycles
- You’re fascinated by new tech and innovative ways of doing business - you’re not a back-office legal person, but someone who wants to be a genuine partner to the business (you can demonstrate how you’ve successfully partnered with key stakeholders from the broader business - not just the commercial side of things - in your previous roles)
- With a love of technology and contract drafting, you’ll roll up your sleeves and get stuck in to partner with our teams to help us reach our revenue targets whilst protecting the business and ensuring we work within our risk parameters
- If selected for an interview, you will be asked to provide a copy of your current practising certificate
What the job involves
- Working closely with our VP Legal and existing international legal team, you’ll be assisting on negotiations with some of the world’s largest and most exciting companies (including our clients, partners and suppliers), helping to develop our partner legal track (working on reselling, managed outsourcing and referral arrangements) and generally helping to finesse the foundations that our VP, Senior Counsel has already established
- You’ll be working on an excitingly broad array of technology, data, and intellectual property contracts and working with our junior legal team members
- Collaborating with various departments, you’ll be a trusted advisor across the team
- You’ll provide a strong level of partnership to our go-to-market teams: collaborating closely with our wider team, providing expert counsel, and ensuring legal is seen as a deal accelerator, rather than a bottleneck
