Company mission
To help customers shape a more profitable and sustainable future, by empowering them to work smarter, faster and more efficiently.
Role
Who you are
- Either a qualified solicitor or CILEX lawyer in England & Wales (NQ–3 PQE), with in-house experience or 3–5 years of in-house legal experience at a technology or SaaS business
- Solid grounding in SaaS commercial contracting: MSAs, Order Forms, DPAs, NDAs
- Familiarity with UK & EU GDPR and data protection fundamentals
- Experience with a CLM tool (Juro experience is a real bonus!)
- Tech-native and AI-curious: comfortable with tools like Slack, Notion, Google Workspace and GenAI tooling
- Pragmatic, business-first mindset - you translate legal risk into clear, actionable commercial advice
- Confident operating autonomously in a small team, with high ownership and a bias to action
- Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable with senior stakeholders and external advisers
- Collaborative and curious — you genuinely want to grow a function, not just maintain it
- Fluent in English. French or Dutch is a big plus!
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Junior Commercial Counsel to join our Finance & Legal team in London as our second legal hire — a hands-on, high-ownership role at the heart of our commercial and legal operations
- You will be our second ever legal hire, reporting to the Legal & Compliance Lead
- You'll be the go-to person for day-to-day commercial contracting across Qargo's group entities (UK, Belgium, US)
- You'll own and operate our CLM system (Juro), driving adoption and self-serve maturity across the business
- You'll work closely with Sales, Finance, HR, Customer Success and the Security team — helping Qargo scale its legal function as we grow into new markets
- This is a rare opportunity to join a small, tight-knit legal team and make a real, visible impact from day one
- Own day-to-day customer contracting (MSAs, Order Forms, NDAs, DPAs, amendments, renewals, SOWs), with scope to grow into handling strategic, high-value, and enterprise deals alongside the Legal Lead
- Manage and evolve Qargo's CLM (Juro) with the Sales-enablement Lead: manage templates, workflows, playbooks, reporting, and user enablement across the business
- Co-own Qargo's data protection and privacy operations: negotiate customer and vendor DPAs, maintain the intra-group data sharing framework and privacy/cookie policies, and partner with Security on NIS2 and incident response readiness
- Own end-to-end supplier and procurement contracting: SaaS vendors, IT, marketing, and professional services
- Support US expansion: help stand up customer contracting workflows for Qargo Tech Inc
- Provide support on corporate compliance and other ad hoc legal tasks as needed
